Concept of Theoretical Plates in Column Chromatography
Useful tips on care of HPLC columns have been suggested earlier to preserve the performance features and improve useful life of your column.
Liquid- Liquid Chromatography
The basics of Liquid- Liquid Chromatography is to partition solutes between two immiscible liquid phases- one phase being the mobile carrier and the other being the thin liquid layer supported on the inert stationary phase packed inside the column.
introduce fluorescence
The present article discusses some processes that can help in inducing fluorescence to otherwise non- fluorescent inorganic species.
Fluorimetric Techniques
Fluorimetric techniques provide specific and rapid analytical solutions which is a great boon to medical diagnosis as future course of action often depends on availability of reliable and accurate results in the shortest possible time.
Fluorescence techniques for environmental monitoring
Fluorescence spectroscopy provides a fast and precise means of monitoring of environmental pollutants in atmosphere and water.
Absorbance and Luminiscence spectroscopic measurements
The basic Absorbance and Luminiscence spectroscopic measurements system components are same for both the techniques.
A Review of Factors Contributing to Fluorescence Quenching
Analysis based on fluorescence characteristics of materials by fluroimetric analysis is a highly sensitive technique. At lower concentrations (ng levels or lower) the technique shows higher sensitivity in comparison to UV – Vis spectroscopy.
How are Fluorescence,Phosphorescence,Bioluminiscence and Chemiluminiscence different from each other?
Theoretically speaking all the terms mean the same and describe emission of light by substances not involving high temperatures.
Fluorescence of Molecules
Several compounds show fluorescence characteristics due to their molecular structural features.
What features contribute to fluorescence of molecules?
Fluorescence in natural species must have left you bewildered in earlier days. Bioluminescence refers to luminiscence arising from some living organisms or from some compounds extracted from such organisms.
What Factors contribute to Spectroscopic Techniques?
A wealth of information is provided by spectroscopic techniques as the expanse of electromagnetic spectrum is immensely vast and it offers a multitude of different wavelengths for such interactions to the chemical spectroscopist.
