WAVE Water Library

Several water profiles are provided in WAVE by default in the Water Library as shown in Figure 10.11. The user can save the water they have just specified. In addition, WAVE allows the user to blend several feed water streams... 

Dielectric and microwave energy of the appropriate frequency can transfer energy directly via radiation (2,3,4) without an intermediate transfer medium. This energy transfer and application can raise the temperature of an object more uniformly than the conduction and convection methods. More specifically, use of either dielectric (5) or micro-wave (6) radiation to interact directly with water molecules had the potential to accelerate the thawing and drying of our frozen, flood-damaged library and archival materials. 

Most favorable spectral results in solvent-elimination LC-IR are obtained when analytes are deposited on flat IR-transparent substrates (ZnSe, CaF2, KBr) and measured in the transmission mode. Preferably, ZnSe is used as deposition substrate as this material is inert and insoluble in water (favoring application in RP-LC) and offers a wide transmission range (Table 1). The transmission spectra acquired from analytes deposited on ZnSe are of good quality, free from spectral distortions, show a better SNR than R-A spectra of the same amount of material, and closely resemble KBr-disc transmission spectra allowing reliable spectral interpretation and automated library searches. CaFa can be used as a cheap alternative when no spectral information has to be obtained in the low wave number region.
