摘要:
The invention relates to calorimetric analytical instruments, and more particularly to a differential scanning calorimeter (100), comprising a sample cell (10), a reference cell (8), a first thermal shield (24) adjacently positioned to the sample cell (10), a second thermal shield (24) adjacently positioned to the reference cell (8), at least one heating system capable of heating said sample cell (10), said reference cell (8), said first thermal shield (24) and said second thermal shield (24), and a temperature monitoring device which monitors a temperature differential between the sample cell (10) and the reference cell (8). The temperature of the shields (24) is controlled such that baseline curvature is reduced by eliminating heat flow from the furnaces to their surroundings (quasi adiabatic conditions) and by controlling heat flow through a well defined solid state heat resistance between the furnaces and a temperature controlled heat sink.

Certain embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a sensor comprising a support member, a sample sensor coupled to the support member and comprising a sample support electrically coupled to a first set of interconnects, and a reference sensor coupled to the support member and comprising a ring coupled to a second set of interconnects, in which the ring is positioned adjacent to and surrounding at least a portion of the sample support of the sample sensor.
摘要:
Methods and systems for quantifying at least two isobaric labels and/or peptides labeled with different isobaric labels are disclosed. In certain examples, the method comprises fitting a mathematical function to at least two isobaric label fragment peaks in a mass spectrum to quantify simultaneously an amount of at least one peptide present in two different samples.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and apparatus for providing an electrochemical gas sensor having improved response time for detecting a gas introduced into the sensor. The sensor includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface and an electrode deposited on the first surface. The sensor also includes an ionomer membrane in contact with the first surface and the electrode. The ionomer membrane has an opening in a location proximate to the electrode for permitting gas introduced into the sensor to diffuse through the opening to simultaneously contact the electrode and the ionomer membrane within the opening. The substrate further includes at least one hole extending from the first surface to the second surface for permitting moisture to diffuse through the at least one hole to contact the ionomer membrane for enhancing sensitivity.
