SEM (Analytical techniques and Instrumentation, Pt 2) Flashcards
Designed to compensate for various in intensity of the light source by SPLITTING the light beam from the lamp and directing one portion to a reference cuvet and the other to the sample cuvet
a. Luminometry
b. Double-Beam spctrophotometry
c. Fluoromtry
d. Scintillation counting
b
Has 2 cuvettes (and 2 photodetectors) struck at the same time
a. Double-beam-in-space
b. Double-beam-in-time
a
Has a chopper that alternately pass the signal at reference and sample cuvette one at the time (1 photodetector)
a. Double-beam-in-space
b. Double-beam-in-time
b
The principle of Fluorometry is the measurement of the amount of _____ emitted by excited molecules
Light
Important components of Fluorometry includes:
- -
Light detected in fluorometry is produce by the analyte of interest and not by the source
T or F
T
What do you call a light/Energy before it hit the sample in fluorometry?
Excitation energy
What do you call a light/energy that came from the sample in fluorometry?
Emission energy/Fluorescent light
Gas discharge lamp is the source of UV light for Emission energy
T or F
F
Excitation energy no emission
Fluorometry has how many monochromator?
2
Use to filter light coming from the source
a. Primary monochromator
b. Secondary monochromator
a
Use to filter light coming from the Sample
a. Primary monochromator
b. Secondary monochromator
b
Photomultiplier is used due to what light in fluorometry?
Fluorescent
Fluorescent has Long wavelength meaning low energy which is why photomultiplier is used to amplify the signal 1000 fold
Why is Photodetector and secondary is place right angle to the source?
To prevent light source from being detected (2 types of light will be detected if it is align)
Causes of Quenching in Fluorometry:
- Increase in________
- Prolonged exposure to ____ light
- Too Concentrated sample (_______)
- ____ changes
- Contaminating chemicals
Temperature
UV
Undiluted
pH
Luminometry is more sensitive that fluoremetry
T or F
T
Fluorometry is 1000x more sensitive than spectrophotometry
