HPLC detectors use the same detection principles with extra care being given to the small solute elution volumes that result from the combination of high column efficiencies with small volumes. In order to give an accurate chromatographic profile the detector sampling (cell) volume must be a small fraction of the solute elution volume. If the detector volume were larger than the elution volume then peaks that appeared are with flat tops as the whole peak would be resident in the detector at the same time. This means that as column volumes decrease and system efficiencies increase the volume of the detector cell must also decrease. This is of course at odds for the requirement of detector to maintain high sensitivity, as this is usually dependant on having a larger cell volume. Again, this requires the very careful design of modern …show more content…
tR1, tR2= net retention time of components 1, 2. Retention time (tR): It is the time between the samples injected and chromatographic peak recorded. The total retention time (tR1 or tR2) is the time, which is needed by sample component to migrate from column inlet (sample injection) to the column end (detector). The net retention time (tR1 or tR2) is the difference between total retention time and dead time i.e. the time the sample component remains in the stationary phase. Resolution (RS): It is a measure of quality of separation of adjacent bands in a chromatogram; obviously overlapping bands have small Rs values. It is calculated from the width and retention time of two adjacent

In our lab report for the this section we learned how to use a diagram created by two discovering astronomers, Ejnar Hertzsprung of Denmark and Henry Norris Russell. This diagram is called the HR Diagram where we use different classifications for stars and plot them on the diagram. To see a full chart of the pattern of stars.

Hello student! In order to solve your problem, it is important to first understand how thin layer chromatography works. Thin Layer Chromatography is a way in which we can separate components of mixtures and identify qualities about their chemical nature. The TLC plate is made of a silica gel which plays an integral role in the distance the different samples will travel, which we will discuss later. For now, it is important to know that Silica gel is very polar. The solvent, which is what you are placing the TLC plate in, is also very important in determining the distance the spots will travel. The different properties of the mixtures, especially polarity, determine how far the spot will travel once placed in the solvent and this is what allows
The equipment they are using was not originally designed for the lower viscosity of Greasex.
After conducting our experiment, when looking at our data sheet we found that our hypothesis involving albumin being able to diffuse through the 200 MWCO was not proven. albumin was the one solute that was not able to pass through any of the membranes. This could have been due to albumin being the molecule with the largest molecular weight amongst the other molecules involved. This included sodium chloride, urea, and glucose. In spite of this, glucose was able to successfully pass through specific membranes. In spite of this, glucose is an example of a molecule that may require
For the HCl and NaOH titration, we start with 50mL HCl (0.05M). Before the titration add 3-4 phenolphthalein into the HCl solution and record the pH meter and the burette. Add about 4 mL NaOH each time until the pH is about 2.5. Then change the addition of NaOH into 0.2mL or less for each time until the solution turns to faint pink that exists for few seconds. Then continue adding 0.2mL additions until there is a large change of pH value. Next, add four 0.4 mL additions and then keep adding large amount of NaOH until the base is consumed about 15 to 20 after faint pink.

HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) is an analytical technique which separates a complex mixture of components into its specific individual components. It is a powerful tool in analysis, as it combines high speed with extreme sensitivity compared to traditional methods of chromatography because of the use of a pump which creates a high pressure and forces the mobile phase to move with the analyte in high speed. It is been used as a principle technology in various automated analyzers used for diagnostic purpose.
Binder viscosity was altered by changing temperature. The initial dispersion of the binder in the powder depends upon viscosity and shear rate applied. (Schaefer, 1996) Binder viscosity also controls the consolidation rate and hence subsequent growth via coalescence. (Ennis, et al., 1991). Results from Rough et al (2005) showed that increased temperature (lower viscosity), the regimes are reached faster because the binder is able to distribute more effectively in the mixture at a given shear rate which is in accordance with the work reported by Schaefer et al (1996). As LAS paste quantity was increased, mixing time required to form designated regimes decreased. Work done by Hibare (2012) showed that the peak modal granule diameter stays similar in both reactive and non-reactive high viscous binder systems which was said to be as a result of mixing time. Mort et al (2001) stated that the method of binder introduction/addition could influence the width of an agglomerate size distribution. A smaller binder droplet size can result in narrower size distribution. According to Schongut et al (2013), granule size distributions have a weak dependence on agitation rate (impeller speed) but a stronger dependence on the state of the binder. Schongut et al (2013) presented size distribution results at three different temperatures with the highest temperature having the narrowest size distribution. Research experiment work done by Schongut et al (2013) was carried out in a stirred glass reactor with a sodium carbonate powder bed and the binder (dodecyl-benzenesulphonic acid) injected into the bed. The powder bed was in stoichiometric excess and each powder bed was used for two kinetic experiments before discarded. Using the powder bed twice bef...
R-squared is always between 0 and 100%. 0% means the model explains none of the variability of the response data around its mean. 100% indicates that the model explains all the variability of the response data around its mean.
... shift from the large scale analysis into the microliter regime, which as discussed above has definite advantages for analytical techniques. The control over surface properties will make it all the more desirable for bio analytical applications. Devices fabricated in the above mentioned methods will provide a means to analyse relatively small amounts in drastically reduced analysis times and also possibly reduced analysis costs. There is also a higher probability of making such devices commercially viable due to the ability of using micro fabrication for large scale production and still retain the benefits obtained in the prototype and also maintain repeatability of the entire process. The major advantage would be the ability to control the process parameter in the production which would help in obtaining the same result with every run of the fabrication protocol.
