  • Microchemistry-The Present and the Future
    MICROCHEMISTRY-THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE P. J. ELVING Department of Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION The goals sought in the practice of analytical chemistry can be conven­ iently summarized as the three S's of selectivity, sensitivity and speed. Selectivity or specijicity means the ability to detect and determine one sub­ stance in the presence of other substances with special reference to those other substances which are commonly associated with the desired constit­ uent and which might be expected to interfere with its identification and determina tion. Sensitivity means one or both of the senses in which this word is customarily used: absolute sensitiviry, i.e., the smallest amount of material which will give a satisfactory signal with the particular approach being used, and concen­ trational sensitivity, i.e., the lowest concentration of material which will give a sa tisfactory signal. There is obviously no need to define speed, since the latter is an ever-present and necessary goal in the hurly-burly of contemporary life. The only comment that needs tobe madeisthat the need for speed may vary in differ­ ent situations. In the dissolution of a mineral preliminary to analysis, the time required for the initial evaporation with acid is usually not a critical factor. On the other hand, in the determination of some elements by acti­ vation analysis, the time allowable between removal from the activating reactor and the counting of the induced activity may be only a few precious minutes. Since the latter part of the nineteenth century when microchemistry was first recognized by chemists as a specific subject, microchemistry has con­ tributed greatly to the attainment of the goals of selectivity, sensitivity and speed.

In particular, FORS, introduced in the 1980s, allows to acquire hundreds of reflectance spectra in situ in a short time, contributing to the identification of artist’s materials. More recently, microspectrofluorimetry has also been proposed as a powerful non-invasive method for the identification of dyes and lake pigments that provides high sensitivity and selectivity. In this chapter, the concepts behind these spectroscopic methodologies will be discussed, as well as the instrumentation and measurement modes used. Case studies related with different cultural heritage materials (paintings and manuscripts, textiles, carpets and tapestries, glass, metals, and minerals),

The objectives of this initiative were to: identify suitable biological reference materials which could serve the needs for quality control in micro-analytical techniques, evaluate existing CRMs for use in micro-analytical investigations, evaluate appropriate sample pre-treatment procedures for materials being used for analysis with micro-analytical techniques, identify analytical techniques which can be used for characterisation of homogeneity determination, and apply such techniques to the characterization of candidate reference materials for use with micro-analytical techniques. The CRP lasted for four years and seven laboratories and the IAEA’s Laboratories in Seibersdorf participated. A number of materials including the candidate reference materials IAEA 338 (lichen) and IAEA 413 (single cell algae, elevated level) were evaluated for the distribution of elements such as Cl, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Zn, As, Br, Rb, Cd, Hg and Pb.

Due to the complexity of biological systems, it is required to concatenate various separation techniques prior to mass spectrometry. These techniques, dealing with proteins or peptides, can rely on chromatography or electrophoresis. In this review, the electrophoretic techniques are under scrutiny. Their principles are recalled, and their applications for peptide and protein separations are presented and critically discussed. In addition, the features that are specific to gel electrophoresis and that interplay with mass spectrometry( i.e., protein detection after electrophoresis, and the process leading from a gel piece to a solution of peptides) are also discussed. Keywords: electrophoresis, two-dimensional electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, immobilized pH gradients, peptides, proteins, proteomics. Table of contents I. Introduction II.

  • Accelerator Microanalysis
    MY9800966 ACCELERATOR MICROANALYSIS Claudio Tuniz Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation Menai, 2234 NSW Australia Abstract The Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) is involved in advanced research programs based on the use of nuclear science and technology for materials microanalysis. This paper is a review of accelerator-based probes to characterise environmental, biological and industrial materials. Most examples are inspired by the ANSTO research program. 1. Introduction Particle accelerators have been developed more than sixty years ago to investigate the nuclear and atomic structure. A major shift toward the use of accelerators in the analysis of materials composition and structure for scientific and industrial applications has been witnessed in the last two decades. Tandem Van de Graaff accelerators have evolved into specialised tools for ion beam analysis (IBA) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Synchrotron accelerators have become dedicated facilities, optimised for emission of bright electromagnetic radiation, an ideal microanalytical probe for biology, materials science and other disciplines. Finally, high-energy proton accelerators are used in spallation sources for producing pulsed beams of neutrons to characterise the structure of matter in condensed states. 2. Ion accelerators Ion accelerators used for analysis of materials are, for the most part, either single-ended or tandem type Van de Graaff accelerators. Very often these are machines which were originally constructed for nuclear physics research and have been tumed to other uses as the effort in low-energy nuclear physics faded away. On the other hand, the field has grown to such an extent that machines designed specifically for analytical applications now exist.

    minerals Article Gemology, Mineralogy, and Spectroscopy of an Attractive Tremolitized Diopside Anorthosite Gem Material from the Philippines: A New Type of Material with Similarities to Dushan Jade Xiaomeng Ye , Feng Bai * , Manyu Li and Hao Sun School of Gemmology, China University of Geosciences (Beijing), Beijing 100083, China; [email protected] (X.Y.); [email protected] (M.L.); [email protected] (H.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: In recent years, a new type of material called Philippines “Dushan jade” has appeared in the gemstone market in China. This new type of material, very similar in appearance and physical properties to Dushan jade, an important ancient jade with a long history in China, is causing confusion in the market and poses identification difficulties. Microscopy, electron probe microanalysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman microprobe spectroscopy, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy were used to study the gemology, mineralogy, and spectroscopy of rock samples from the Philippines in order to differentiate them from Dushan jade. The studies showed that Philippines rock is composed mainly of anorthite and minor amounts of diopside, tremolite, uvarovite, titanite, chromite, zoisite, prehnite, thomsonite-Ca, and chlorite, among which uvarovite, Citation: Ye, X.; Bai, F.; Li, M.; Sun, diopside, and tremolite are the main color causing minerals.

Corresponding Author Abstract The intimate study, anatase phase of TiO2 nanoparticles with the size of about 11.38 nm were biosynthesized using Ti (OCH (CH3)2)4 (titanium tetra- isopropoxide) as titanium source. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXMA) and ultraviolet-visible near absorption spectroscopy (UV-VIS). XRD analysis shows that the phase of the sample is anatase TiO2. Experimental results have shown that the prepared white color powder have wholly consisted with anatase crystalline phase. Only powder acquired from an acidic solution has fine particle size with spherical morphology. Key words: TiO2 NPs, Oscimum tenufluorum L., XRD, FT-IR, UV-VIS, FESEM, EDX. 1. INTRODUCTION In the ago two decades, titanium dioxide has wide applications on multidisciplinary areas due to its exquisite properties such as nontoxic, ultraviolet (UV) blocking and protection, antibacterial, photocatalytic, self-cleaning, etc. In spite of the excellent photo catalyst and antibacterial properties, the problems of recycling and agglomeration of the nano-scaled particles have projected limitations of the applications of nanoparticles.

  • Analytical Chemistry
    Share Tweet Share Analytical chemistry From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search For the journal, see Analytical Chemistry (journal). Gas chromatography laboratory Analytical chemistry studies and uses instruments and methods used to separate, identify, and quantify matter.[1] In practice separation, identification or quantification may constitute the entire analysis or be combined with another method. Separation isolates analytes. Qualitative analysis identifies analytes, while quantitative analysis determines the numerical amount or concentration. Analytical chemistry consists of classical, wet chemical methods and modern, instrumental methods.[2] Classical qualitative methods use separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation. Identification may be based on differences in color, odor, melting point, boiling point, radioactivity or reactivity. Classical quantitative analysis uses mass or volume changes to quantify amount. Instrumental methods may be used to separate samples using chromatography, electrophoresis or field flow fractionation. Then qualitative and quantitative analysis can be performed, often with the same instrument and may use light interaction, heat interaction, electric fields or magnetic fields . Often the same instrument can separate, identify and quantify an analyte. Analytical chemistry is also focused on improvements in experimental design, chemometrics, and the creation of new measurement tools. Analytical chemistry has broad applications to forensics, medicine, science
