Sample vessel

Sample temperatures may be below ambient. If the sample vessel is liquid-full, a hazard results due to overpressurization as the hquid expands. Venting may be required, but it can distort the results. This safety hazard must be accounted for in the procedure and in interpreting the laboratoiy results. 

Start the vapour generator cycle so that the absorption cell is flushed with argon gas and the pre-set volume of NaBH4 (1 mL) is pumped into the sample vessel. After the pre-selected reaction time (0.5 minute), AsH3 vapour is flushed into the absorption tube. Record the value of each arsenic signal as a peak height measurement. Read off the arsenic concentration of the sample, which is displayed on the instrument video screen.

Cross-contamination between successive samples (vessel wall effects)... 

A 13 liter, semispherical sampling vessel with a flow rate of 0.5 /min was used. The electrode (38 mm diameter) in front of the ZnS(Ag) scintillator was placed in the center of the bottom and was set at -3,000 V relative to the vessel wall. Since the ERM is sensitive to water vapor (Porstendorfer et al, 1980 Dalu et al., 1983), the air sample was passed through a dehumidefier to maintain the relative humidity in the chamber less than 2.9 %. 

Isoperibolic instruments have been developed to estimate enthalpies of reaction and to obtain kinetic data for decomposition by using an isothermal, scanning, or quasi-adiabatic mode with compensation for thermal inertia of the sample vessel. The principles of these measuring techniques are discussed in other sections. 

A liquid flow microcalorimeter, the thermal activity monitor (TAM), is commercially available from ThermoMetric (formerly LKB/Bofors). This instrument consists of two glass or steel ampules with a volume of 3 to 4 cm3 (25 cm3 ampule available with a single detector), placed in a heat sink block. Recently, an injection-titration sample vessel was developed which acts as a microreactor. This vessel is provided with flow-in, flow-out, and titration lines, with a stirring device. The isothermal temperature around the heat sink is maintained by a controlled water bath. Each vessel holder, containing an ampoule, is in direct contact with a thermopile array, and the two arrays are joined in series so that their output voltages subtract. The two pairs of thermopile arrays are oppositely connected to obtain a differential output,... 

The amount of rotation a is not a constant for a given enantiomer it depends on the length of the sample vessel, the temperature, the solvent9 and concentration (for solutions), the pressure (for gases), and the wavelength of light.10 Of course, rotations determined for the same compound under the same conditions are identical. The length of the vessel and the concentration or pressure determine the number of molecules in the path of the beam and a is linear with this. Therefore, a number is defined, called the specific rotation [a], which is... 

Consider two closed air-sampling vessels made out of (a) teflon and (b) glass (assume like quartz) with an air volume Fa = 10 3m3 (1 L) and an inner surface area of ASUTf = 6 x 10" 2m2. In these vessels you capture air samples that you want to analyze for phenanthrene. Calculate the fraction of the total phenanthrene present in the air in the two vessels after adsorption equilibrium between the gas phase and the walls of the vessel has been established at 15°C (288 K) and 50% relative humidity. Assume that only adsorption at the surface of the walls is important. (Note that in the case of teflon, absorption could also be important.)... 

Antioxidants. To reduce oxidation reactions that could impact tocopherols and tocotrienols during saponification and extraction, an antioxidant, such as ascorbic acid or pyrogallol, is added to the sample solution. Also, it is recommended that the sample vessel be flushed with nitrogen and sealed before saponification. 

The archaeometric analyses included 22S samples chemically analyzed by ICP and thin section petrography and an additional 100 samples were analyzed only by petrography. The samples originated from 25 different sites, although the majority are from the Philistine cities (Ashdod, Heron, Gath and Ashkelon). About 30% of the samples were considered to be reference material (e.g., city samples, vessels from kilns, coarse ware and undecorated, common types) (Figure 2). 

One of the major concerns with this extraction set-up was carryover or contamination from sample to sample. To determine whether or not this occurred, we placed blank sample vessels in series with vessels containing material fortified with a radiolabeled component. No contamination from sample to sample was experienced. This is illustrated for vessel 6 in Table III and for vessel 5 of set 1 in Table IV. In different experiments, these blank vessels have been placed in all positions, no carryover was ever found. 

The bulk of the SFE experiments performed to date were executed with systems typically consisting of a syringe or reciprocating pump, a high-pressure containing sample vessel comprised of HPLC column hardware, and a fused silica capillary restrictor. Extraction vessel temperatures of 40-80°C were usually accomplished using a converted oven or with the use of a thermostatted tube heater (2,3). Instrument manufacturers now offer a variety of commercially available SFE systems that vary in design, operation, features, ease of operation, and limitations. 

These are summarized as follows (i) DRS is a good quantitative technique (ii) DRS in the near-infrared often allows to resolve species whose bands overlap in the fundamentals region (iii) the sample preparation, handling, and optics enclosing the sample vessels are often simpler and more expedient than when using conventional transmission techniques. 

The probe-tip/sample-cell distance should be considered when the probe is inserted into the sample vessel. The shorter the distance, the less the attenuation, and the higher the energy applied to the sample as a result.

Microwave extraction uses microwaves to heat solvents that are placed in the sample container. The microwaves heat the solvent and also add pressure to the sample vessel. The solvent is then removed and treated. The advantages of the microwave technique over Soxhlet extraction include reduced solvent consumption (—40 ml per sample), rapid extractions (12 samples/hr), and apparent ease of use 63 The disadvantages include the initial capital investment, lack of approval from government agencies, and the need to use solvents that are microwave compatible 63 Applications include those in the food and environmental fields. 

Also DSC instruments of the heat conduction type exist (see, for example, Ross and Goldberg, 1974). If the temperature of the heat sink is increased, heat will flow through the two thermopiles into the two vessels. If heat conductance and heat capacity of the two calorimetric units are the same, we can expect that the differential potential signal from the thermopiles will be zero. However, if the heat capacity differs, for example, between an aqueous solution in the sample vessel and... 

Alternatively, an HPLC filter unit may be used for the filtration. The sample vessel is rinsed with a suitable amount of (deuterated) solvent and the rinsing solutions are added to the sample in the NMR tube. The pH of the aqueous liquid sample is determined, and can be adjusted with DC1 and NaOD solution. For measurements carried out in a standard 5-mm (o.d.) NMR tube, about 0.6-0.8 mL of solvent is required, and for 10-mm tubes, about 3-4mL. If considered necessary, some of the extractions can be performed with deuterated solvents, which will simplify the sample preparation procedure. Related practical sample preparations can be found in the literature (10 12 14 29). 

The formed H18F is quantitatively absorbed on the sample vessel walls, from which it is removed by extraction with a K2C03 solution (28,30).

We used two types of sample vessels, one for an oxidizing material, and the other for a general unstable material. The sample vessels for an oxidizing material is not made of combustible materials and is shown in Fig.3.104(a). For a general unstable material we used a polyethylene lid and inner tube as shown in Fig.3.107. The polyethylene lid and inner tube could also be used safely for a liquid material, because material could not come into contact with the detonator. Moreover, we adopted a test procedure without...
