Fluorescence simultaneous

Routing was aheady used in classic NIM-based TCSPC setups [56, 57, 58, 59]. Each of the detectors had its own CFD. The CFD output pulses were combined into one common TAC stop signal, and controlled the destination memory block in the MCA. The technique was used to detect the fluorescence simultaneously with the IRF, to detect in two wavelength intervals, and to detect the fluorescence simultaneously under 0° and 90° polarisation. However, because separate CFDs were used for the detectors, the number of detector channels was limited.

In such reactions the substantial heat of the simultaneous (concerted) formation of the carbonyl groups produced meets the energy requirement (8,16). In the reaction shown (8), the product is the highly fluorescent excited state of 9,10-diphenylanthracene [1499-10-1] (2). It is not necessary for the new carbonyl groups to be a part of the stmcture of the excited product, only that the excited state be formed synchronously with two carbonyl groups. 

Pressure. Standard atmospheric pressure is defined to be the force exerted by a column of mercury 760-mm high at 0°C. This corresponds to 0.101325 MPa (14.695 psi). Reference or fixed points for pressure caUbration exist and are analogous to the temperature standards cited (23). These points are based on phase changes or resistance jumps in selected materials. For the highest pressures, the most rehable technique is the correlation of the wavelength shift, /SX with pressure of the mby, R, fluorescence line and is determined by simultaneous specific volume measurements on cubic metals... 

For holes in the /th shell, the fraction of the holes that result in x-rays when that hole is filled with an outer electron is called the fluorescent yield, CO, for example COj and CO. The quantity CO has been computed theoretically, but the best values come from a simultaneous evaluation of the measured and theoretical values. The value of COj varies smoothly with the atomic number Z, and the fluorescence yields for each L subsheU are smaller than the COj at the same Z. Table 14 gives values of the K and shell binding energies, COj, CO, and relative emission probabiUties of the and Kp x-rays as a function of... 

Chromatographic methods, notably hplc, are available for the simultaneous deterrnination of ascorbic acid as weU as dehydroascorbic acid. Some of these methods result in the separation of ascorbic acid from its isomers, eg, erythorbic acid and oxidation products such as diketogulonic acid. Detection has been by fluorescence, uv absorption, or electrochemical methods (83—85). Polarographic methods have been used because of their accuracy and their ease of operation. Ion exclusion (86) and ion suppression (87) chromatography methods have recently been reported. Other methods for ascorbic acid deterrnination include enzymatic, spectroscopic, paper, thin layer, and gas chromatographic methods. ExceUent reviews of these methods have been pubHshed (73,88,89). 

Fluorescence. The fluorescence detection technique is often used in clinical chemistry analyzers for analyte concentrations that are too low for the simpler absorbance method to be appHed. Fluorescence measurements can be categorized into steady-state and dynamic techniques. Included in the former are the conventional simultaneous excitation-emission method and fluorescence polarization.

Within the confines of the present volume it is not possible to provide a detailed discussion of instrumentation for atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. An instrument for simultaneous multi-element determination described by Mitchell and Johansson53 has been developed commercially. Many atomic absorption spectrophotometers can be adapted for fluorescence measurements and details are available from the manufacturers. Detailed descriptions of atomic fluorescence spectroscopy are to be found in many of the volumes listed in the Bibliography (Section 21.27). 

The data in Figure 14 imply that the efficiency of fluorescence quenching by acceptors grows simultaneously with an increase in electron affinity of the quenchers. 

The popularity of the UV detector, the electrical conductivity detector and the fluorescence detector motivated Schmidt and Scott (5,6) to develop a trifunctional detector that detected solutes by all three methods simultaneously in a single low volume cell. 

Chromatograms demonstrating the simultaneous use of all three detector functions are shown in figure 22. It is seen that the anthracene is clearly picked out from the mixture of aromatics by the fluorescence detector and the chloride ion, not shown at all by the UV adsorption or fluorescence detectors, clearly shown by the electrical conductivity detector. 

Hard et al (reference 110, 125, and submitted to/. Geophys, Res. 1991) have developed a system for the chemical conversion of HO2 to HO via the reaction HO2 + NO —> HO -I- N02. The hydroxyl radical is then measured by their low-pressure laser-induced-fluorescence instrument. Their multi-sample-channel LIF PAGE system is thus capable of simultaneous measurements of [HO ] (directly) and [H02 ] (by conversion to HO ).
