Relationship between wavelength and frequency |
Inversely proportional; the greater the frequency the shorter the wavelength
E=hc/wavelength |
|
Spectrum for visible light |
400-700nm |
|
Absorbance and transmittance are related |
linearly |
|
Relationship between %Transmittance and concentration |
inversely logarithmic |
|
Solving for Absorbance |
2-log(%T) |
|
solving for % transmittance |
10^(2-A) |
|
Beer's law |
A=Ebc |
|
Monochrometer |
isolation of individual wavelengths of light |
|
Bandpass |
width of the narrow band of light that actually reaches the cuvette |
|
What is more sensitive Photomultiplier Tube or Photodiodes |
PMT; photodiodes lack internal amplification |
|
Flame emission photometry is used for? |
Measuring sodium, potassium, and lithium
Most labs have switched to ion-selective electrodes
energy given off is directly proportional to conc in samples |
|
Components of a Flame photometer |
Atomizer, Flame, Air and gas supply, monochromators, detector, readout |
|
Double beam in space vs Double beam in time |
Space: 2 beams, 2 detectors
Time: 1 beam, 2 detectors |
|
Part of a Spectrophotometer |
light source, monochromator, slit, sample, detector, recorder |
|
Nephlometry |
measures scattered light |
|
Turbidimetry |
measures amount of blocked light |
|
Stokes shift |
difference in energy between the excitation light and emission light |
|
Singlet state |
spin of the excited electron pair is in opposite directions |
|
Triplet |
electrons are in an unpaired condition |
|
Phosphorescent light is in what state |
triplet T1 to S0 |
|
S1 to S0 transition |
Fluorescence |
|
Sensitivity of different tests |
spec<fluorescence<chemiluminescence |
|
Chemiluminescence requires |
luminometer |
|
Excitation light sources |
Mercury- 365-366nm line spectra Xenon arc -uv continuum Quartz-halogen-near UV Lasers-to specific wavelength |
|
Uses of IR |
secondary structures of proteins |
|
Incident light |
IO enters the slide at 100% what ever is not absorbed is reflected and measured
R=Ir/Io |
|
Assayed controls |
values are provided for the expected mean and SD
2SD must still be est |
|
Unassayed controls |
no values are provided for mean or SD |
|
ROM |
range of means-analyzer values should fall within 2SD |
|
Chromatography |
separation of compounds based on their differing affinities for the mobile and stationary phases |
|
Uses of chromatography |
separation purification identification |
|
Eluent |
the carrier that moves the chemical through the column |
|
Effluent |
mobile phase containing the solutes that have exited the chromatographic system |
|
Eluate |
material emerging from the comlumn |
|
Eluted |
removed from the chromatographic system |
|
Adsorption |
solute and solvent are attracted to the polar sites on the stationary phase |
|
Partition |
Separation based on salute partitioning, based on relative solubility, between two liquid phases
Polar stationary phase Non polar solvent |
|
Choosing an ion exchanger |
pH must be determined first
the net charge of the protein at the selected pH determines the choice of ion exhcnager |
|
Increasing ionic strength |
releases bound solute molecules by displacement |
|
Changing pH |
alters the strength of the interaction by changing the charge of the solute and/or resin |
|
Stationary phase in paper chromatography |
water-coated cellulose |
|
Mobile phase paper chromatography |
liquid differs depending on the separation desired |
|
Retention factors |
ratio of the migration distance of the solute from its application point to its leading edge/ to the migration distance traveled by the mobile phase from the application point |
|
TLC V Paper |
|
|
GC separation |
based on the partition coefficient of each solute which is related to its affinities for the mobile and stationary phases |
|
Parts of a GC |
|
|
What is splitless injection used for |
small sample amounts |
|
Temps in GC |
Injection port 50 deg higher than component boiling point
detector 10 deg higher than the column
Temp of the column determines the retention time and resolution |
|
Capillary columns |
Polyimide coating fused silica tubing stationary phase |
|
Liquid phases |
Non-polar liquids are non-selective and separate based on solute volatility
Polar liquids separate based on interactions |
|
Most stable GC detectors |
TC and flame |
|
Flame ionization detector |
effulent is ignited producing ions
Ions conduct electricity, changes in flame current are measured |
|
TC |
Wheatstone bridge temp dependent electrical resistance of a hot wire
Organic vapors will decrease temp and the thus decrease electrical resistance |
|
Qualitative information |
compare peak positions with those of standard |
|
Quantitative assessment |
relative concentrations of components is obtained from peak area comparisions |
