Apparatus detectors

The variation of Bq causes all ions to pass sequentially in front of the exit slit behind which is positioned the photomultiplier detector. The pressure in the apparatus is held at 10 torr in order to achieve mean free paths of ions sufficiently high that all ions emitted from the source are collected. 

Probably the simplest mass spectrometer is the time-of-fiight (TOP) instrument [36]. Aside from magnetic deflection instruments, these were among the first mass spectrometers developed. The mass range is theoretically infinite, though in practice there are upper limits that are governed by electronics and ion source considerations. In chemical physics and physical chemistry, TOP instniments often are operated at lower resolving power than analytical instniments. Because of their simplicity, they have been used in many spectroscopic apparatus as detectors for electrons and ions. Many of these teclmiques are included as chapters unto themselves in this book, and they will only be briefly described here.

For analysis, white phosphoms is typically extracted through a fritted thimble with refluxed toluene. Any trace amounts of water are captured in a cahbrated sidearm to the apparatus. The soflds on the frit are weighed, the water measured, and the phosphoms calculated by difference. For impure samples of phosphoms, the toluene extract may be analy2ed with a gas chromatograph (gc) equipped with a phosphoms—nitrogen detector. 

So far the plate theory has been used to examine first-order effects in chromatography. However, it can also be used in a number of other interesting ways to investigate second-order effects in both the chromatographic system itself and in ancillary apparatus such as the detector. The plate theory will now be used to examine the temperature effects that result from solute distribution between two phases. This theoretical treatment not only provides information on the thermal effects that occur in a column per se, but also gives further examples of the use of the plate theory to examine dynamic distribution systems and the different ways that it can be employed. 

Given the advanced state of wave-profile detectors, it seems safe to recognize that the descriptions given by such an apparatus provide a necessary, but overly restricted, picture. As is described in later chapters of this book, shock-compressed matter displays a far more complex face when probed with electrical, magnetic, or optical techniques and when chemical changes are considered. It appears that realistic descriptive pictures require probing matter with a full array of modern probes. The recovery experiment in which samples are preserved for post-shock analysis appears critical for the development of a more detailed defective solid scientific description. 

An LC-LC coupling experiment system can be performed by employing a commercially available HPLC apparatus and involving various combinations of HPLC columns, eluents, additives, switching devices and detectors. 

Stalcup aiid co-workers [14] adapted this method to a continuous elution mini-prep electrophoresis apparatus shown in Fig. 11-3. In this apparatus, the end of the electrophoretic gel is continuously washed with elution buffer. The eluent can then be monitored using an HPLC detector (Fig. 11-4) and sent to a fraction collector where the purified enantiomers, as well as the chiral additive, may be recovered. In this system, the gel configuration was approximately 100 mm x 7 mm, and was aircooled. The number of theoretical plates obtained for 0.5 mg of piperoxan with this gel was approximately 200. A larger, water-cooled gel was able to handle 15 mg of... 

Apparatus. A gas chromatograph equipped with a flame-ionisation detector and data-handling system. The use of a digital integrator is particularly convenient for quantitative determinations, but other methods of measuring peak area may be used (Section 9.4). 

A schematic diagram showing the disposition of these essential components for the different techniques is given in Fig. 21.3. The components included within the frame drawn in broken lines represent the apparatus required for flame emission spectroscopy. For atomic absorption spectroscopy and for atomic fluorescence spectroscopy there is the additional requirement of a resonance line source, In atomic absorption spectroscopy this source is placed in line with the detector, but in atomic fluorescence spectroscopy it is placed in a position at right angles to the detector as shown in the diagram. The essential components of the apparatus required for flame spectrophotometric techniques will be considered in detail in the following sections.

The apparatus employed for chromatographing particle suspensions in this laboratory has been reported in detail elsewhere (ll). A sample loop of approximately O.U ml was used. The detector was a Pharmacia UV-spectrophotometer with a cell of 1 cm path length and an operating wavelength of either 25, 280 or 350 nm. The volume counter had a capacity of 1 ml. 

The apparatus employed for this study was a Waters Associates Model ALC/GPC 300 with a differential refractometer as mass detector operated at room temperature. A 2 ml sample loop with polymer concentrations of 0.01-0.1 wt.% cUid a 5 ml siphon were employed with mobile phase flowrates in the reuige 1-8 ml/min.
