Internal Standards– Turning Good Data Into Great Data

Everyone likes to have a safety net, and scientists are no different. This month I will be discussing internal standards and how we can use them not only to improve the quality of our data, but also give us some ‘wiggle room’ when it comes to variation in sample preparation. Internal standards are widely used [Read More...]

Easy Concentration Measurement for Ternary Solutions

Measuring the concentration of aqueous solutions containing one component can be easy. There are numerous techniques that accomplish this goal, such as density measurement or titration. Aqueous solutions that contain two dissolved components, however, present entirely different challenges. With two compounds in solution, one compound can easily influence the measurement of the other, leading to [Read More...]
