Flight cases

The OPCW mobile laboratory is designed for use in all types of inspections. It is able to function self-contained, if necessary in a tent powered by electricity generators. It contains sufficient equipment to allow the IT the collection and preparation of various types of sample matrices and the GC/MS analysis of their extracts. All items of equipment are packaged in flight cases in such a way that two persons can move each transport container by hand. 

The sample preparation kit (Picture 2) holds all equipment necessary to prepare the samples for GC/MS analysis on-site in four transport boxes (flight cases). It contains everything from the pH paper to the laboratory coat including the chemicals to conduct the sample preparation procedures. A reduced version of the sample preparation kit packaged in two pelli cases is available for inspections where this will suffice. 

Other types of mass spectrometer can use point, array, or both types of ion detection. Ion trap mass spectrometers can detect ions sequentially or simultaneously and in some cases, as with ion cyclotron resonance (ICR), may not use a formal electron multiplier type of ion collector at all the ions can be detected by their different electric field frequencies in flight. 

Next we consider the situation of a coil which is unperturbed in the hydro-dynamic sense of being effectively nondraining, yet having dimensions which are perturbed away from those under 0 conditions. As far as the hydrodynamics are concerned, a polymer coil can be expanded above its random flight dimensions and still be nondraining. In this case, what is needed is to correct the coil dimension parameters by multiplying with the coil expansion factor a, defined by Eq. (1.63). Under non-0 conditions (no subscript), = a(rg)Q therefore under these conditions we write... 

Isotope shifts for most elements are small in comparison with the bandwidth of the pulsed lasers used in resonance ionization experiments, and thus all the isotopes of the analyte will be essentially resonant with the laser. In this case, isotopic analysis is achieved with a mass spectrometer. Time-of flight mass spectrometers are especially well-suited for isotopic analysis of ions produced by pulsed resonance ionization lasers, because all the ions are detected on each pulse. 

Nutation. The axis of a spin-stabilized projectile in flight is subject to spasmodic small conical vibrations, called nutation, which should not be confused with yaw (qv) or precession (qv). The instant a spinning projectile leaves a gun, the turbulence produced by the release of proplnt gases causes nutations to occur. Their amplitude is usually small, and, in the case of concentric fast spinning projectiles, they disappear due to the action of equal and opposite centrifugal forces. 

Henglein (23) has constructed a machine for studying stripping reactions which does not fall into any of the above categories. It consists of an ion gun followed by a flight tube which also serves as a reaction chamber. A velocity selector scans the ions which have suffered little or no change in direction, and energy analysis of the secondary ion beam is used to deduce cross-sections and reaction mechanisms in chosen simple cases. 

In this instrnment, the final stage of the triple quadrnpole is replaced by an orthogonal time-of-fiight (ToF) mass analyser, as shown in Fignre 3.10. The con-fignration is typical of the latest generation of ToF instrnments in which a nnmber of reflectrons, in this case two, are used to increase the flight path of the ions and thns increase the resolution that may be achieved. 

The principles of Kepler s laws and orbital jumps in isolation would leave students confused. Alternatively suppose students were taught that only free-falling space flight can be understood from Kepler s laws, and that the tables for course corrections had been constructed from careful experimentations and observations. In this case, students would not be confused either. The confusion comes from stating that everything will be explained theoretically and then only explaining half.
