  2. R-factor (crystallography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-factor_(crystallography)

    Small molecules (up to ca. 1000 atoms) usually form better-ordered crystals than large molecules, and thus it is possible to attain lower R-factors. In the Cambridge Structural Database of small-molecule structures, more than 95% of the 500,000+ crystals have an R-factor lower than 0.15, and 9.5% have an R-factor lower than 0.03.

  3. Retardation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retardation_factor

    An R F value will always be in the range 0 to 1; if the substance moves, it can only move in the direction of the solvent flow, and cannot move faster than the solvent. For example, if particular substance in an unknown mixture travels 2.5 cm and the solvent front travels 5.0 cm, the retardation factor would be 0.50.

  4. Laboratory quality control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_quality_control

    The distance from the mean is measured in standard deviations. It is named after Stanley Levey and E. R. Jennings, pathologists who suggested in 1950 that Shewhart's individuals control chart could be used in the clinical laboratory. [5] The date and time, or more often the number of the control run, is plotted on the x-axis.

    The first instrumental analysis was flame emissive spectrometry developed by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff who discovered rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs) in 1860. [4] Most of the major developments in analytical chemistry took place after 1900. During this period, instrumental analysis became progressively dominant in the field.

  7. Radioanalytical chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioanalytical_chemistry

    Sample loss is an ever present concern, especially at the beginning of the analysis path where sequential steps may compound these losses. Various solutions are known to circumvent these losses which include adding an inactive carrier or adding a tracer. Research has also shown that pretreatment of glassware and plastic surfaces can reduce ...

  8. Internal standard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_standard

    The calibration curve that does not use the internal standard method ignores the uncertainty between measurements. The coefficient of determination (R 2) for this plot is 0.9985. In the calibration curve that uses the internal standard, the y-axis is the ratio of the nickel signal to the yttrium signal.

  9. Automated analyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_analyser

    The history of discrete sample analysis for the clinical laboratory began with the introduction of the "Robot Chemist" invented by Hans Baruch and introduced commercially in 1959 [1]. The AutoAnalyzer is an early example of an automated chemistry analyzer using a special flow technique named "continuous flow analysis (CFA)", invented in 1957 by ...
