摘要:
A pulse train comprising chirped pulses of electromagnetic energy can be used to excite a sample, such as for spectroscopic analysis. The respective chirped pulses can include a frequency sweep across a first specified bandwidth during a respective chirped pulse duration, the respective chirped pulse duration establishing a first frequency-domain comb peak separation. A width of a frequency-domain comb peak can be established at least in part by a total duration of the pulse train, and a bandwidth of the first frequency-domain comb can be determined at least in part by the first specified bandwidth of the frequency sweep of the respective chirped pulses.

The invention provides a system and a method of eliminating interference for impurities measurement in noble gases based on emission spectroscopy which provide very stable, sensitive and interference free results. The method mainly relies on the use of a combination of particularly designed means serially connected for cancelling interferences and proper means for correcting linearity issues. The proposed method is particularly advantageous since it offers long-term stability while providing very accurate and reliable results, even at sub-ppb and up to 10,000 ppm levels, whatever the surrounding conditions and the additional impurities that could be present in the gas under analysis.

A system for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes an analytical test strip and an analytical meter. The analytical test strip has a substrate layer, an electroluminescent component (either an electroluminescent module and/or an electroluminescent lamp) disposed on the substrate layer, and a sample chamber configured for receiving a bodily fluid sample disposed above the substrate layer. Moreover, the analytical meter is configured for insertion of the analytical test strip therein and subsequent determination of the analyte.

摘要:
A method for analyzing the composition of a bath comprising liquid metal, in which a laser beam is directed onto a surface of the bath and in which at least part of the metal forms a sample which is analyzed. In the method, at least at the location where the laser beam meets the bath, impurities at the surface of the bath are removed by purging with a stream of a purge gas. A device for analyzing the composition of a bath comprising liquid metal.
摘要:
Graphitic nanotubes, which include tubular fullerenes (commonly called “buckytubes”) and fibrils, which are functionalized by chemical substitution, are used as solid supports in electrogenerated chemiluminescence assays. The graphitic nanotubes are chemically modified with functional group biomolecules prior to use in an assay. Association of electrochemiluminescent ruthenium complexes with the functional group biomolecule-modified nanotubes permits detection of molecules including nucleic acids, antigens, enzymes, and enzyme substrates by multiple formats.

Glow discharge apparatus having liquid electrodes includes a substrate with a top surface on which cathode and anode electrodes are formed. The cathode electrode may be formed with a cathode terminal port formed to hold a liquid which is spaced from the anode electrode by an inter-electrode surface of the substrate. Electrical conductors are connected to the anode and cathode electrodes to allow a voltage to be applied between them, resulting in a glow discharge in the gap over the inter-electrode surface that causes sputtering of the liquid in the cathode terminal port into the glow discharge. Excitation by the glow discharge of the sputtered or evaporated liquid allows spectroscopic analysis of the constituents of the liquid in the electrode.
