This document describes the Imager for Mars Pathfinder (IMP) calibration targets and outlines a procedure for their use in first-order spectrophotometric image calibration. The Mars Pathfinder mission and landing site are discussed, as are previous observations of Mars. Bidirectional reflectance theory relevant to target design and usage as well as planetary surface measurement will be develope...

The spectrophotometric and microbiological assay methods used for the determination of ampicillin levels in ampicillin/cloxacillin combinations were compared. A total of 24 samples of ampicillin/cloxacillin suspensions from 8 batches and 3 companies (B2, D and E) were assayed for their ampicillin content levels using the Spectrophotometric assay method. Infra-red (IR) Spectroscopy confirmed the...

PURPOSE An accurate and precise UV spectrophotometric method with multivariate calibration technique for the determination of aripiprazole in pharmaceutical formulations has been described. METHODS This technique is based on the use of the linear regression equations by using the relationship between concentration and absorbance at five different wavelengths. The aripiprazole shows absorption...

A method is proposed for automatic instrumentation of enzyme activity determinations which involve spectrophotometric measurements. The procedure utilizes a kinetic method to produce one instrumental reading that is proportional to enzyme concentration. The single spectrophotometric reading can be processed by analog or digital computation, using the known absorptivity constant of the reactant ...

Macrolides, one of the most commonly used class of antibiotics, are a group of drugs produced by Streptomyces species. They belong to the polyketide class of natural products. Their activity is due to the presence of a large macrolide lactone ring with deoxy sugar moieties. They are protein synthesis inhibitors and broad-spectrum antibiotics, active against both gram-positive and gram-negative ...

Bacteria used in self-healing of concrete crack need to be embedded into the concrete in the form of dormant spores. However, quantification of viable spores is still a challengeable task due to the lack of rapid, efficient and accurate methods. Considering that viable spores have a higher refractive index than vegetative cells and the refractivity issubject to decrease during the germination p...

in this research, a fast colorimetric method for the detection of 4-phenylthiosemicarbazid (4-ptsc) in environmental samples, is reported for the first time. semicarbazide compounds have been used as pesticides or fungicides in agriculture and for chemical synthesis in industrial processes. with this method, one or the total amount of semicarbazide in real samples can be detected within 6-7 min...

a novel, simple and more sensitive spectrophotometric procedure has been developed for the determination of brilliant blue fcf and carmoisine in food samples by an aqueous two-phase system (atps). after extraction, the absorbance values were measured at 527 and 632 nm for carmoisine and brilliant blue fcf, respectively. the effects of different parameters such as, polyethylene glycol (type and ...

An automated system for pyruvic acid analysis was developed in order to screen a large number of onion bulbs in our breeding program. The system includes two high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pumps, an autosampler, a column heater, a spectrophotometric detector, and an integrator. With this new method, human error can be eliminated with great repeatability (CV ˆ 0.9%), and we can ru...

One titrimetric and two spectrophotometric procedures have been reported for the determination of albendazole and its tablets. Using titrimetry, the drug was titrated directly with Chloramine-T under acidic conditions using a Methyl Orange indicator. The spectrophotometric procedures involve treating the sample solution with a measured excess of Chloramine-T in an acid medium, followed by an es...
