Softening and dropping point determination are established analytical tests that provide quality control for petrochemical products such as bitumen (asphalt). However, to be accurate, manual/semi-automated quality tests prescribed in ASTM standards must be performed in a standardized fashion. Unfortunately, manual processing bears inherent process risks that affect repeatability, which in turn ...

INTENDED USE MBL Bion REAGENTS FOR IFA (Indirect Fluorescent Antibody) TESTS may be used in assays for the qualitative and/or semi-quantitative determination of specific IgG or IgM antibodies in human serum. The MBL Bion REAGENTS FOR IFA TESTS are intended for use as an aid in diagnosis of certain autoimmune diseases or for primary or active infection and/or as a determination of immunological ...

The way in which an exact determination of the CKM matrix elements tests the Standard Model is demonstrated by a two generation example. The determination of matrix elements from meson semi-leptonic decays is explained, with an emphasis on the respective reliability of quark level and meson level calculations. The assumptions involved in the use of loop processes are described. Finally, the sta...

A semi-automated micromethod for the determination of the unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) of serum using radioactive iron and magnesium carbonate as an adsorbing substance is presented. The method has the advantage of simplicity and speed. The determination of UIBC is carried out on 0.1 ml of serum in duplicate, using autodiluters, at the rate of up to 200 sera per day. The reproducibi...
