Chemical Analysis, NAP XPS

Chemical analysis

NAP XPS is a less traditional form of XPS (x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), it allows for samples to be analysed
at relatively high pressures. Through using the NAP XPS, the XPS can efficiently and effectively probe biological
samples, porous materials, moderately volatile liquids or even polymeric materials that outgas significantly. 


Chemical analysis is the act of decomposing a substance into its constituent elements. Chemical analysis, which
heavily relies on the use of accurate measurements, is divided into two categories depending on the manner in
which the assays (the process of determining proportions of metals) are conducted. Classical analysis, also known
as wet chemical analysis, is made up of analytical techniques which require no mechanical or electronic
instruments other than a balance. This method usually relies on chemical reactions between the material being
analysed and a reagent that is added to the material. Wet techniques often depend on the formation of a product
from the chemical reaction, which is easily detected and measured. 


Most chemical analysis falls into the second category, which is instrumental analysis. As the name suggests, this
involves the use of an instrument, other than a balance to perform the analysis. A wide assortment of
instrumentation is available for use by the analyst - in some cases the instrument is used to characterise a
chemical reaction between the tested material and the added reagent. In other cases, it is used to measure a
property of the tested material. Instrumental analysis is further subdivided into categories on the basis of the type
of instrumentation employed. 


Since the beginning of chemistry, investigators have needed to know the identity and the quantity of the materials
with which they are working. As such, the development of chemical analysis parallels the development of the
subject of chemistry itself. Torbern Bergman, the 18th-century Swedish scientist is usually thought of as the
founder of inorganic quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis. Prior to the 20th century, nearly all testing
was performed using classical methods. Simple instrumentation was available, such as photometers and
electrogravimetric analysis apparatus - instrumental analysis didn’t take off and flourish until well into the 20th
century. 


The Principle Stages
The main steps that are performed during a chemical analysis are:
  1. Sampling
  2. Field sample pretreatment
  3. Laboratory treatment
  4. Laboratory assay
  5. Calculations
  6. Results presentation


Each of these must be executed correctly in order for the analytical result to be accurate. Some chemists
distinguish between an analysis - which involves all the steps, and an assay - which is the laboratory section of
the analysis.

Oil And Gas Prices Review: Bloated Supply Finally Clearing

In 2015, Oil and Gas Prices were at a historic 10 year low, through Saudi Arabia and Russia – both very oil rich countries – refusing to comply with OPEC instructions on maximum oil production. Crude oil, like all resources throughout the world – is subject to supply and demand – and both countries have pushed down global oil and gas pricing through overproduction throughout 2015. This has been catastrophic for the industry, as hedges of crude oil have become more of a burden to banks and governments due to lack of demand, low pricing due to competition of cheap Russian and Saudi oil, and has also meant that the hedges themselves are costing money, due to the costs of keeping them. The slump in prices has also meant that countries and banks have been unable to sell these hedges, as they are in negative equity – worth far less than already paid. As 2016 passed, the oil and gas industry buckled down and prepared for rough times, with oil and gas exploration and production at an ...

How to Choose the Right Refrigerated Courier Service

Have you ever tried shipping fresh seafood or a life-saving vaccine across the country? Ensuring temperature-sensitive products remain in optimal condition during transit is crucial. The right refrigerated transport service can make all the difference, preventing spoilage and maintaining product integrity from pickup to delivery. The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Service Selecting the wrong courier can lead to serious issues: Spoilage and Waste – If goods aren’t kept at the right temperature, entire shipments can be lost, resulting in financial and operational setbacks. Safety Concerns – Food and pharmaceuticals that fall outside safe temperature ranges can pose serious health risks. Reputation Damage – Customers expect reliability. Poor delivery service can harm long-term trust and business relationships. What to Look for in a Refrigerated Courier Service 1. Temperature Control Capabilities Accurate Temperature Ranges – Whether transporting frozen food, chilled pharmaceu...

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...
