|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electromagnetic Radiation | Has wave-like and particle-like properties.
🗑
|
||||
| Radiant Energy | Characterized as a spectrum from short wavelengths to long wavelengths
🗑
|
||||
| Wave Length | The distance traveled by one complete wave cycle measured in nanometers.
🗑
|
||||
| Nephelometry | The measurement of light scattered by a particulate solution.
🗑
|
||||
| Turbidometry | Measures the light blocked as a decrease in the light transmitted through the solution.
🗑
|
||||
| Fluorescence | A process where atoms absorb energy at a particular wavelength, and the electrons release energy as they return to ground state by emitting light energy of a longer wavelength and lower energy than the exciting wavelength.
🗑
|
||||
| Phosphorescence | The emission of light produced by certain substances after they absorb energy.
🗑
|
||||
| Chemiluminescence | The process where the chemical energy of a reaction produces excited atoms, and upon electron return to ground state, photons of light are emitted.
🗑
|
||||
| Bioluminescence | The process where an enzyme-catalyzed chemical reaction produces light emission.
🗑
|
||||
| Luminometer | A generic term for the type instrument that is used to measure chemiluminescence and bioluminescence
🗑
|
||||
| Chromatography | A technique where solutes in a sample are separated based on physical differences that allow their differential distribution between a mobile and stationary phase.
🗑
|
||||
| Mass Spectrometer | An instrument that uses the principle of charged particles moving through a magnetic or electric field, with ions being separated from other charged particles according to their mass to charge ratio.
🗑
|
||||
| Potentiometry | Technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in solution employing an electrochemical cell that consists of two half-cells, where the potential difference between an indicator electrode and a reference electrode is measured.
🗑
