Metabolic Profiling to Determine Bactericidal or Bacteriostatic Effects of New Natural Products using Isothermal Microcalorimetry
Published on: October 29, 2020
Abstract:
Methods are described for the rapid analysis of plating baths by measurement of the heat evolved in a reaction between the reagent and the component to be determined. The novel feature of the method is the use of reagents which have zero heat of mixing, so that the temperature scale can be directly calibrated in concentration units for a particular determination. A determination takes only 5 min and the precision is equal to that of the classical methods. Procedures are given for the analysis of nickel and chromium plating baths.

Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
