(n.) An instrument for determining the amount of polarization of light, or the proportion of polarized light, in a partially polarized ray.
Example Sentences:
(1) The biosensor is a polarimeter that measures the rotation of plane polarized light proportional to glucose concentration.
(2) Common polarimeters defined the concentration of an optically active sample by measuring the intensity of the light beam after it has passed through the analyser.
(3) We used a flow polarimeter to investigate the factors influencing P of fluorescein in mammalian cells to determine whether such measurements are useful for characterizing heterogeneous cell populations.
(4) The procedure requires 0.5 mL of amniotic fluid and a standard clinical laboratory fluorescence polarimeter (TDx Analyzer, Abbott Laboratories).
(5) Using an Abbott TDX polarimeter and fluorescein - labelled angiotensin I as a tracer we measured angiotensin I by F.P.I.A.
(6) We describe a fluorescence polarization assay for use in predicting fetal lung maturity, which is suitable for the TDx Analyzer (an automated fluorescence polarimeter).
(7) The recent development of laser-based polarimeters with microdegree sensitivity has increased the applicability of optical rotation detection in HPLC.
(8) A polarimeter was used as a detector to determine the enantiomer elution orders.
(9) The analog output of a polarimeter was digitized and stored on a microcomputer disk.
(10) The CSF polarimeter showed a significant rise soon after the intravenous loading of glucose (1-30 min) but a longer lag time (45-60 min) between the peak blood glucose and peak CSF polarimeter reading.
(11) Anesthetized, adult dogs underwent intravenous glucose loading, and these preliminary in vivo studies resulted in good correlation (r = 0.98) between CSF polarimeter readings and CSF glucose by laboratory assay.
Saccharimeter
Definition:
(n.) An instrument for ascertaining the quantity of saccharine matter in any solution, as the juice of a plant, or brewers' and distillers' worts.
