Control Micro analysis

A ,Ga)As buffer layer is grown before epitaxy of (Ga,Mn)As. To control strain in the film, strain-relaxed thick (In,Ga)As ( 1 /zm) with the lattice constant a0 greater than the subsequent (Ga,Mn)As layer can be employed. The Mn composition x in the Gai - Mn As films can be determined from measurements of a0 by x-ray diffraction (XRD), once the dependence a0(x)is calibrated by other means, such as electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) or secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS). 

Because of the enormous diversity in components it is difficult to describe a straightforward design-path for components for the MCB concept. Here we focus on the modeling and the design of the fluid control modules and specific on the thermo-pneumatic actuated micropump used (twice) in the demonstrator. An elaborated model of this micropump is given by van de Pol et al. [21]. The main functions of the fluid control in micro analysis systems are the switching function and the direct flow and/or pressure control. Building blocks are hydraulic inertances, resistors, capacitors and passive and control-valves. Very often an active element like a micropump is needed.

FTIR spectroscopy may be applied to good advantage in such specialized areas as micro analysis where high sensitivity is required, in the analysis of aqueous solutions or dark, solid state samples that require the use of special reflectance techniques, in investigations placing emphasis on quantitative evaluation, and in experiments where analysis time is a limiting factor, e.g., in process or quality control measurements. 

Among the variety of micro-analytical techniques used, electron probe X-ray micro-analysis (EPXMA) and computer controlled scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray detection (CC-SEM/EDX) are most commonly used. Both can be used in fully automated mode, and in combination with cluster analysis and/or multivariate techniques. They are ideally suited for the analysis of representative numbers (300-1000... 

Lab-on-valve , Lab-on-chips , Micro Total Analytical Systems (p-TAS) or Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) that operate on micro- and nanometer scales are good examples of new trends and achievements in the area of instrumentation. These enable complex processes such as sampling, reagent addition, calibration, temperature control, and analysis, to be incorporated into... 

Whilst solving some ecological problems of metals micro quantity determination in food products and water physicochemical and physical methods of analysis are employed. Standard mixture models (CO) are necessary for their implementation. The most interesting COs are the ones suitable for graduation and accuracy control in several analysis methods. Therefore the formation of poly functional COs is one of the most contemporary problems of modern analytical chemistry. The organic metal complexes are the most prospective class of CO-based initial substances where P-diketonates are the most appealing. 

This paper describes work on equipment and instrumentation aimed at a computer-assisted lab-scale resin prep, facility. The approach has been to focus on hardware modules which could be developed and used incrementally on route to system integration. Thus, a primary split of process parameters was made into heat transfer and temperature control, and mass transfer and agitation. In the first of these the paper reports work on a range of temperature measurement, indicators and control units. On the mass transfer side most attention has been on liquid delivery systems with a little work on stirrer drives. Following a general analysis of different pump types the paper describes a programmable micro-computer multi-pump unit and gives results of its use. 

P 9] DL-l-Phenylethylamine and 4-amino-l-benzylpiperidine were dissolved in 0.1 M NaOH aqueous solution [23]. 3-Nitrobenzoyl chloride and 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride were used as ethyl acetate solutions. The concentration of all reactants was set to 0.01 M. Syringe pumps served for liquid feed. The flow rate was 50 plmin and room-temperature processing was applied. No further temperature control was exerted as the reaction is only mildly exothermic. After having passed the micro reactor, the phases were settled in test-tubes and the organic phase was withdrawn for analysis. 

P 23] Aqueous NaOH solutions of 0.1, 1.0 and 2.0 M were used, fed by pumps to the micro devices [5]. Carbon dioxide was supplied as a mixture with nitrogen, the flow rate being set by a mass-flow controller, liqmd samples were taken and subjected to carbonate analysis (see original citation in [5]).
