Selectivity reproducibility

The properties of a pH electrode are characterized by parameters like linear response slope, response time, sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility/accuracy, stability and biocompatibility. Most of these properties are related to each other, and an optimization process of sensor properties often leads to a compromised result. For the development of pH sensors for in-vivo measurements or implantable applications, both reproducibility and biocompatibility are crucial. Recommendations about using ion-selective electrodes for blood electrolyte analysis have been made by the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) [37], IUPAC working party on pH has published IUPAC s recommendations on the definition, standards, and procedures...

In this section, the aim is to explain how the previously discussed results can be implemented in an industrially acceptable setup, taking into account parameters such as long-term stability, selectivity, reproducibility, simplicity and low cost. Therefore, it was the intention of the authors not to use the rotating-disc electrode, but rather to implement a so-called wall-jet electrode, which possesses similar characteristics but with a long-term stability, simplicity and cost effectiveness that are much more favourable than for a rotating-disc electrode. The setup of the wall-jet electrode is discussed in Chapter 1, pages 19-21.

When considering the use of microreaction technology, from the perspective of high-throughput organic synthesis, the main benefit that this technique offers is increased reaction control, which in itself affords many practical advantages to the user. As a result of the small reactor dimensions, rapid mixing of reactants, and an even temperature distribution are observed, which not only increase the uniformity of reaction conditions, but also afford increased reaction safety, selectivity, reproducibility, and efficiency when compared to conventional batch reactors where hot spot formation can lead to the formation of by-products and the risk of thermal runaway.

The transposition from a selection to a population raises the following fundamental questions When a selection characterizes its original population What is its procedure Until now, there has been no existing procedure able to prove whether or not a selection reproduces its original population identically. However, this fact can be improved if it is assumed that p = x and = s. Nevertheless, we have to verify whether these identities are realistic using an acceptable confidence degree.

An immunological method has been developed based on AFBj antibody-functionalised composite magnetic nano particles based on FejO SiO. For this purpose anti-AFBj is immobilized covalently on the surface of the nucleus. Te selectivity, reproducibility and stability of the immunological system are within the allowable error. Compared to the conventional ELISA the proposed immunosystem is simple and rapid (Li Wang and Xian-Xue Gan 2009). 

Column Differences. There are over 100 different brands of reversed-phase columns. Column manufacturers provide information such as plate count, unique selectivity, reproducibility, pressure drop, and so forth. While these are important to know, they are of little help to you in selecting the most appropriate column for most of your applications.

Because e-noses are composed of an array of chemical sensors, the performance of the sensor array is limited by the properties (sensitivity, selectivity, reproducibility, reversibility, etc.) of the individual sensors. Therefore, this chapter will focus on the individual chemical sensing approaches and their transduction mechanisms, rather than the aggregate performance of the array coupled with signal processing techniques.

Since conclusions reached in forensic laboratories are used in the criminal justice system, they must leave no room for doubt. Thus, analytical methods must meet strict criteria. They must be extremely selective, reproducible, sufficiently sensitive, and suitable for qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is also highly desirable for the method to call for the minimum number of pretreatment steps and to be applicable to compound mixtures without preliminary separation of their components. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy meets these criteria. It is well...

These methods are rapid, sensitive, selective, reproducible and easy to automate and can be used as simple routine tools for acid-dissociable cyanide monitoring. Extremely low levels of cyanide can be detected using this system (<0.5 pg/1). Complete recovery of cyanide is found for Zn(CN), Cu(CN)3, Cd(CN)4, Hg(CN)4, Hg(CN)2 and Ag(CN)2 complexes and low recovery from Ni(CN)4. No recovery is obtained from the species that are considered as nonfree cyanide producing, i.e. Fe(CN) , Fe(CN)i and Co(CN)i . 

For any gas sensor of either a semiconductor-type or catalytic combustion-type, sufficient sensitivity, accuracy, selectivity, reproducibility, life, and stability are required, and the sensing mechanism starts by adsorption or reactive adsorption of the gas component on the surface of sensor materials. Metal oxides such as SnOi, AI2O3,...
