Analytical methods Flashcards
<400 nm; short wavelength
UV light
> 700 nm; long wavelength
Infared light
Number of vibrations of wave motion per second
Frequency
Used to check wavelength accuracy
Didymium/Holmium oxide filter
Used to verify absorbance accuracy on linearity
Neutral density filters & dichromate solution
Adapted for only a limited number of clinical laboratory analysis (lipoprotein particle measurements)
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectro
Most common light source used in visible & near infrared regions
Tungsten light bulb
Light source used in the UV region
Deuterium lamp
Continuous source of radiation in both UV & visible region
Xenon discharge lamp
Minimizes unwanted/stray light
Entrance slit
Line source used in UV & visible regions in spectro
Mercury & Sodium vapor lamp
Line source used in UV & visible regions in AAS
Hollow Cathode lamp
Most common cause of loss of linearity
Stray light
Selects the bandpass
Exit slit
Measures light absorbed by atoms in ground state
AAS
