| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What formula correctly describes the relationship between absorbance and percent tea | Absorbance is proportional to the inverse a log of transmittance. A= -log T = log 1/T Ex: if %T = 10, then A = 2 - log 10.0, log10.0 = 1.0, A= 2-1= 1.0 |
| In absorption spectrophotometery... | Absorbance is directly proportional to concentration. Beers law. |
| What is beers law? | Beers law: a solutions absorbance of light is directly proportional to the concentration of the solution. M1/A1 = M2/A2 or Concentration : directly proportional to amount of absorbed light or Inversely proportional to the log of the transmitted light |
| General ballpark wavelengths and their absorbencies... | Red 700, Orange 620, yellow 580, green 530, blue 470, violet 420. A solution transmits light corresponding to its wavelength AND absorbs light of wavelengths complimentary to its color |
| Which type of filter is best for measuring stray light? | Sharp cut off filters transmit almost all incident light until the cut off wavelength is reached. They give an "all or none affect", only stray light reaches the detector when the selected wavelength is beyond the cut off |
| What photodetector is most sensitive to low levels of light? | The photo multiplier tube uses dynodes of increasing voltage to amplify the current produced by the photosensitive cathode. |
| What condition is a common cause of stray light? | Dispersion from second order spectra. Straylight is caused by the presence of any light other than the wavelength of measurement reaching the detector. |
| Which type of monochromator produces the purest mono chromatic light in the ultraviolet range? | A prism and a variable exit slit |
| What is the most common cause of loss of linearity at a high analyte concentration? | Stray light is a greater % of the detector response One sample concentration is high |
| Which type of filter is best for measuring Straylight | Sharp cut off filters transmit almost all incident light until the cut off wavelength as reached |
| What material is best suited for verifying the wavelength calibration of a spectrophotometer? | Holmium oxide gas |
| Why do many optical systems and chemistry analyzers utilize a reference flight path? | |

| Icteric specimens can negatively affect | Creatinine, cholesterol... method dependent |
| How can EDTA affect specimens: | Reduce calcium and magnesium and color metric method, reduced ALP and CK, increase potassium or sodium depending on type of EDTA |
| Which analytes can be affected by non-fasting | Elevated glucose, GGT, triglycerides, lipid panel, gastrin, insulin, aldosterone/renin |
| Prolonged tourniquet | Elevated K+, protein, albumin, calcium, hgb Fe |
