Centrifugation01:05

Centrifugation

8.8K
Centrifugation is a separation technique based on differences in density or size. It is commonly used to separate solids from aqueous interferents. During centrifugation, the sample is placed in centrifugation tubes and spun at high angular velocity, which allows centrifugal force to act differentially on the different densities or masses of the components. After spinning, the supernatant liquid is decanted. Depending on the specific application, either the pellet or the supernatant is retained...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Instrumentation

950
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the common plasma source used in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), a technique that detects and analyzes various elements in a sample. This method is often called inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy  (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used....

  • To correlate optical and hydrodynamic properties for enhanced particle characterization.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized multiwavelength detection in analytical ultracentrifugation experiments.
  • Developed and applied the HDR-MULTIFIT data evaluation tool for analyzing sedimentation coefficient distributions.
  • Integrated Mie's theory for correlating optical and hydrodynamic properties of spherical particles.
  • Validated the technique using NIST traceable reference particles.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated accurate analysis of sedimentation coefficient distributions, convertible to particle size distributions.
  • Showcased the ability to determine species-dependent extinction spectra for complex mixtures.
  • Achieved a significant increase in the dynamic range of AUC experiments by correlating optical and hydrodynamic properties.
  • Validated the universal applicability of the technique for materials with known and unknown optical properties.

Conclusions:

  • The developed multiwavelength analysis methodology significantly enhances the capabilities of analytical ultracentrifugation.
  • This technique offers a powerful tool for detailed particle characterization, extending beyond conventional single-wavelength approaches.
  • The method is universally applicable, providing valuable insights into the properties of diverse materials.
