Comparative QC Test Methods for Toothpaste Consistency
Important quantitative data can be obtained in the study of viscosity by measuring the consistency of toothpaste, i.e., thickness, ease of handling and ability to retain position, and observing the ... read more
Statistics in the Laboratory: The Capability of a Measurement Process
Measurement processes must be fit for use. In this column, we’ll develop some quantitative statistical descriptors of the capability of a measurement process to be valid for its intended purpose. read more
Urinary Drug Testing: Small Changes for Big Improvements in Sensitivity
An oversight or mistake in drug testing can have dire consequences—a positive drug test can ruin the possibility of employment, turn an accident into a lawsuit, or cause a physician to discontinue ... read more
Closing the Consumption Gap: Making GC More Accessible
Gas chromatography users agree on at least two things: that GC is a mature technology, and that the performance and features of instrumentation largely meet the application requirements for which GC ... read more
Atomic Electron Tomography Provides 3-D Atomic Structures of Solids
For more than a century, scientists have relied on X-ray crystallography to elucidate the properties of crystalline materials. read more
Comparison of Crystallization Behavior of Different-Colored Polypropylene Parts Using a Single DSC Experiment
A compositional analysis may explain the reasons for variations in processing behavior, but is time consuming and expensive. As an alternative, straightforward differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) ... read more
High-Throughput VOC and Inorganic Gas Analysis: Automated SIFT-MS
A sensitive technique called selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) allows the direct, real-time monitoring of inorganic gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with no need to ... read more
Integration of a Dilution Module in a Mass Spectrometry-Based Online Reaction Monitoring System
A dilution module based primarily on a mass rate attenuator solves the problem of high concentration solution to the mass spectrometer. The low-flow compensation approach was used to circumvent the ... read more
