plasticware advantageshigh resistence, flexibility, inexpensive
lab supply accuracynational institute of standards and technology must be class a.
(tc) to containdo not deliver the same volume when liquid is transferd.
(td) to deliverwill deliver the amount requested
volumectirc flaskhas a round flat lower portion with a long skiny neck, calibrated to hold one exact amount and has an etched calibration line
erlenmyer flaskdesinged to hold different volumes, only good for rough measurments.
griffin beakervery poor accuracy and used for holding reagents
graduated cylindercalibration marks along th side, doesent have to accuracy of volumetric glassware
tc pipetesuasually graduated, holds or contains a a specific volume but does not dispence the exact volume
td pipetsdesinged to deliver a known amount, will dispense the volume indicacted with only the aid of gravity
blow out pipethas a continuous ethed ring or 2 small close continuous rings located near the top of the pipet
self draining pipetno marking, tip must never come in contact with the accumaulating fluid in the recieving vessel
graduated pipetscapable of dispensing several different types of fluids
transfer pipetsdesigned to dispense one volume without further subdivisions
ostwalt-folin pipetbulb near the lower end, can contain set volume, frosted band at the mouth, used fro fluids with a higher viscosity than water
volumetric pipetbulb near the middle, used for water like solutions, and should be used when diluting standards, calibrations or qc matter
pasteur pipetit is used to transfer fluids with out consideration of a specific volume, should not be used in analytical techniques
automatic pipetmay be made for any volume and is equipped with a plunger that controls the delivery of fluid
micro pipettotal holding volume less than 1ml. calibrated to contain one set volume
spectum for violet380-440
spectrum for blue440-500
spectrum for green500-580
spectrum for yellow580-600
spectrum for orange600-620
spectrum for red620-750
eqaution for the concenteration of the unknowncu=(au)(cs)/as
transmittencethe amount of light that passes through a sample and makes it to the detector
absorbancea measure of the amount of radiant power absorbed by the sample
visual colorimeteryinterperated by the human eye
photoelectrical photoimeteryinterperated by machine
spectrophotometerused to measure light transmitted by a solution in order to determine the concentration of the light absorbing substance in the solution
monochromatersa device for selecting a range of wavelengths, surrounding the specified wavelength
colored glass filterspass a relativly wide band of radiant energy and have a low transmittance of the selected wavelength
interference filterscomposed of transparent glass or quartz substrate on which multiple layers of dielectric material, sometimes seperated by spacer layers
prismseperates light based on refraction
diffraction gratingconsists of many parralell groves etched onto a polished surface
cuvetea place to hold the sample that is being tested
atomic absorbtion spectrophotometermeasures comcentration of a sample by detecting absorbance of emr by atoms
turbidmeterymeasures light scattering as a decrease in the light transmitted through the solution
nephelometermesasures solute concentration by amount of light scattered in forwared direction
fluourometermeasures the immediate emmision of light from a molecule or atom following absorbtion of radiation (fluoresence)
osometeryueses either freezing point depression of vapor pressure depression to measure the concentration of solute particules in the solution
potentiometermeasurement of the electrical potential between two electrodes in an electrochemical cell
ph electrodemeasures the hydrogen ion activity of a solution
direct isemore common and done on undiluted samples
indirect iserequires pre diluted samples
coulometermeasures the amount of current passing between 2 electrodes in an electrochemical cell, the time required to titrate a sample is measured also.
electrophoresismigration of charged solutes or particles in an electrical field
electrophoresis supporting fieldscellulose acetate, agarose gel, polyacrylamide gel, starch gel
scintillation counterparticle or radiation detector which operates through emission of light flashes that are deteched by a photosensitive device.
