An atmospheric pressure argon glow discharge is shown
to detect trace levels of carbohydrates in aqueous flowing
systems, using either of two glow discharge solution
interface configurations. The first configuration consists
of an oscillating glow discharge sustained between a flowing
aqueous cathode and platinum anode. Picomole and micromolar
mass and...
The work presented here is the culmination of efforts in describing complex chemical systems with statistical methods, thereby providing relatively simple quantitative models and easily comprehensible qualitative insights. The following investigations have various goals, such as development of new methods, fundamental understanding, molecular control of chemical species, and advancement of...
