A primer for liquid chromatography provided by Agilent Technologies. This publication reviews all aspects of fundamental liquid chromatography (LC). The material covered is similar to might be found in an analytical chemistry textbook. It is especially well-suited for first time users of liquid chromatography. Reviews of fundamental math, instrument design, and method development are included. In…
This site offers an introductory course (as a MOOC) on the estimation of measurement uncertainty specifically related to chemical analysis (analytical chemistry). The course gives the main concepts and mathematical apparatus of measurement uncertainty estimation and introduces two principal approaches to measurement uncertainty estimation – the ISO GUM modeling approach (aa “bottom-up” approach) and the single-lab…

Lasers are preferred light sources for high resolution or time-resolved optical spectroscopy. This module introduces the workings of lasers and gives examples of common designs.The website is available here .
This site is presented as a guided exploration into the operation of a photomultiplier from the first light incidence to the output signal. Questions guide the exploration and allow (sometimes require)the student to speculate on the result before going forward. A careful, patient student will get a thorough introduction to the operation of a…
The Handbook of Operational Amplifier Application is a complete and exhaustive compendium of Op Amp information. Chapters start with the basic electronics of the internal circuitry of op amps, feedback and analysis of operation followed by ideal and practical op amps. The remaining chapters provide numerous application circuits.The website is available here .
This Quick Time movie illustrates and describes to operation of a Czerny-Turner monochromator. The slits, mirrors, grating and grating scan are described in the production of a specific wavelength at the outlet slit. The movie is a companion to the double beam spectrometer animation.The website is available here .
Basic concepts of signals, noise, and extraction of data from noisy signals are presented as an e-learning module. Excel spreadsheets allow students to vary noise parameters. Basic electronics ideas relating to RC circuits support introductory information on filtersThe website is available here .
