Ag8n " Check the "baby legs" projects on microparticles. It will give some background. My own experience was in medical plastics industry. We routinely ..." | Read more » almost 5 years ago
Ag8n " The green line on a compact florescent lamp is the one at 546 nm. There are a couple of calibration videos on the link @Warren gave that might h..." | Read more » almost 5 years ago
Ag8n " The last I knew, it took calibration to set up the wavelength. One way of doing that was with a compact florescent lamp. But there may have been..." | Read more » almost 5 years ago
Ag8n " Green is about 550 nm. Can you tell me the application the local people would like to use it for? Regards " | Read more » almost 5 years ago
Ag8n " You usually measure visible spectrum in nanometers (nm). Resolution is measured the same way, but tested much differently. Can you give more inf..." | Read more » about 5 years ago
Ag8n " The only other thing to point out- all these calculations assume the particles are spheres. We had particle surface area measuring equipment. T..." | Read more » about 5 years ago
Ag8n " You might want to look into ANDalyze. They use a new technology based on DNA for heavy metal analysis in water samples. I'd need to see validati..." | Read more » about 5 years ago
Ag8n " First off, spectrometers are much more common than spectrophotometers, these days. And cheaper too. T he method you referenced relies heavily on..." | Read more » about 5 years ago
Ag8n " I've used a version of this method. We used it for lead and just for visual comparison. There was a link for it but it wouldn't work. It was th..." | Read more » about 5 years ago

Ag8n " You might be able to find some thing. Let's take it step by step. First, the only one of those metals that has any color in the Vis is chromium. ..." | Read more » about 5 years ago
Ag8n " First, using a spectrometer in the visible range ,by itself, normally isn't possible. You normally have to add chelating agents to make the metal..." | Read more » about 5 years ago
Ag8n " The kits for these tests ( someone correct me if I'm wrong) appear to be made by RenekaBio. A quick look down the test procedure and method showe..." | Read more » over 5 years ago
Ag8n " Yes, ion exchange is a good idea. Usually, it's cation exchange, anion exchange, and actived charcoal, followed by the particle filter. A conduc..." | Read more » over 5 years ago
