Any of the standards of various types that indicate whether an analytical instrument or procedure is working within prescribed limits; examples are test solutions used with pH meters, and solutions with known concentrations (standard solutions) used with spectrophotometers.
Industry:Chemistry
A color test using methylene blue that indicates when the oxygen present in a sewage plant’s effluent or polluted water is exhausted.
Industry:Chemistry
Device used for the analysis of the elements in a compound by fusing them with another compound; for example, analysis of nitrogen in organic compounds by fusing the compound with sodium and analyzing for sodium cyanide.
Industry:Chemistry
In chromatography, a measurement used in ion-exchange systems to express the adsorption ability of the ion-exchange materials.
Industry:Chemistry
The formation of a faithful mold or replica of a solid that is thin enough for penetration by an electron microscope beam; can use plastic (such as collodion) or vacuum deposition (such as of carbon or metals) to make the mold.
Industry:Chemistry
Analysis of the constituents or properties of a gas (either pure or mixed); composition can be measured by chemical adsorption, combustion, electrochemical cells, indicator papers, chromatography, mass spectroscopy, and so on; properties analyzed for include heating value, molecular weight, density, and viscosity.
Industry:Chemistry
One of the long, narrow (100 meters by 0.2–0.5 millimeter or 330 feet by 0.008–0.02 inch) columns used for capillary gas chromatography. Also known as open tubular column.
Industry:Chemistry
In gas chromatography, the relationship of retention volume with arbitrarily assigned numbers to the compound being analyzed; used to indicate the volume retention behavior during analysis.
Industry:Chemistry
The instrument used in gas chromatography to detect volatile compounds present; also used to determine certain physical properties such as distribution or partition coefficients and adsorption isotherms, and as a preparative technique for isolating pure components or certain fractions from complex mixtures.
Industry:Chemistry
A separation technique in which analytes are transported through a small-diameter packed column by electroosmosis (electrically induced flow of the mobile phase) by applying a high potential (5–30 kilovolts) across the column.
