The design and construction of a chemiluminescence
photometer is described. The design is based on a discrete
sample system which has a number of advantages over
the previously described flow cell system and centrifugal
analyzer. The advantages include simple and inexpensive
equipment, small sample size, versatile electronic readout
system, and...
This thesis is concerned with the development and use of routine
analysis techniques based on chemiluminescence (CL) detection for: 1)
ethanol in gin down to the 0.3% (v/v) level; 2) the antioxidants propyl
gallate and BHA in lard to levels as low as 0.3 and 0.2 mg/L, respectively; 3) pyrogallol...
A practical and versatile instrument has been developed both to
optimize the chemistry of bio- and chemiluminescence reactions and to
measure ultra-trace quantities of associated analytes. The instrument
consists of a pneumatic flow injection system linked to a detection cell and a
signal processing and readout system. The disk-like cell...
An autonomous, in-situ instrument was developed to detect dissolved copper in seawater, suitable for deployment on time scales from weeks to months. A commercially available in-situ nitrate analyzer (YSI 9600) was adapted to measure copper (II) in seawater by chemiluminescence. Modifications included construction of a photomultiplier (PMT) based detector and...
