From environmental analysis to pharmaceutical water: A comprehensive overview of the TOC Applications

Image
TOC Analyzers   are used to determine the Total Carbon as well as the Total Inorganic carbon present in a sample. The technique used by the analyzers is used to determine the proportion of both non-volatile as well as volatile compounds. In procedures such as wastewater management, TOC determination measures the sample for low or high TOC content.  TOC analyzer   are used in a wide range of industries including the management of effluent, ultrapure water, management of pharmaceutical water, drug manufacturing process, environmental investigations of soils and river water, and the evaluation of cleaning efficiency.   How do TOC works?   For TOC analyzers,   that account for the total as well as the inorganic carbon, there is a two-stage analysis technique, called TC-IC. This process is used to measure the total amount of inorganic carbon evolved from an acidified aliquot. On the other hand, there is another technique known as the TIC-NPOC analysis method. Nevertheless, whether it is by

Distinguished aspects and applications of Material Analysis

Image
With the advancements in clinical and material analysis, quality testing methods have evolved enormously. Material Analysis is one such way that has witnessed tremendous success in recent years. The procedure of Material Analysis focuses on the discovery of chemical and physical properties of all types of materials. In the field of material analysis, the composition of solid bulk material is analyzed by electron microprobe, X-rays, and transmission electron microscopy, while the composition of solid surface material is analyzed by Auger electron spectroscopy, ion scattering spectrometry, and mass spectrometry. Especially, the  ICP MS instrument   is widely used to overcome limitations and illuminate the properties of trace elements in a sample.  The ICP MS technique In environmental analysis, pharmaceutical analysis as well as in the determination of toxicity in the food and beverage industry the  ICP MS instrument   is used. The technique is used to get reliable, and accurate findings

Enhance DNA Studies Through PCR

Image
PCR or Polymerized chain reaction is a process of replicating DNA samples within a short interval of time. The key purpose of this technology is to provide more scope for research as a given piece of a specimen can be very rare to obtain. One of the key fields where it is used quite a lot is for studying cancer cells that usually multiply at a fast rate inside a human body. The device that is used to perform this technique is called a Thermal cycler . This is quite an advanced machine and through improvements in technology; it has also developed in the past few years. It is futile to mention that the proper functioning of this equipment determines the success or failure of the technique that has been considered. Thus, there are a few key areas that are vital for consideration to ensure applicable results and in the following sections, those points will be discussed in brief.  #1 Temperature Regulation As the name suggests, the role of temperature is foremost essential to obtaining prop

Advanced applications of ICP-OES Principles

Image
The field of science has witnessed some tremendous changes in the past few years. There have been some brilliant experiments and some life-changing discoveries that have changed the definition of how we see things. One such example is of the ICP Optical emission spectrophotometers that were invented 25 years ago and since then they have been the most versatile procedure of inorganic analysis. As compared to the atomic absorption spectrophotometers, they are more efficient as they efficiently excite many elements. The  ICP OES principle   has been around the corner as an analysis procedure for decades and for all the right reasons. Let’s see why and what are the applications. ICP Optical Emission Spectrometry Principle ICP is the abbreviation for Inductively Coupled Plasma which is the technique of optical emission spectrometry. The working of the  ICP OES principle   is quite interesting. The process proceeds as the plasma is offered from outside to an analysis sample and the atoms are

Understanding the Principle and Structure of ICP MS

Image
Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry is used for evaluating the presence of trace metals in the samples. Its high levels of precision allow the detection of a wide range of elements.  ICP MS  takes an analytical approach towards elemental analysis, which is validated to detect and measure the content of all elements within the periodic table.  The technique is valuable for testing food-grade materials to measure the levels of both toxic and nutritional elements, to analyze the toxicity and deficiency of the same. It is also used across multiple industries for various applications, which we will briefly discuss in this article.  Origin and History of Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry ICP MS  was invented in 1980 by A.L. Gray, R.S. Houk, et al. It has been commercially used since 1983 across multiple industries for the detection and content measurement of trace elements even at the lowest levels with absolute accuracy.  The semiconductor industry rightfully deserves a
