What's the difference between polarimeter and sample?

Polarimeter


Definition:

  • (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.

Sample


Definition:

  • (n.) Example; pattern.
  • (n.) A part of anything presented for inspection, or shown as evidence of the quality of the whole; a specimen; as, goods are often purchased by samples.
  • (v. t.) To make or show something similar to; to match.
  • (v. t.) To take or to test a sample or samples of; as, to sample sugar, teas, wools, cloths.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Samples are hydrolyzed with Ba (OH)2, and the hydrolysate is passed through a Dowex-50 column to remove the salts and soluble carbohydrates.
  • (2) An automated continuous flow sample cleanup system intended for rapid screening of foods for pesticide residues in fresh and processed vegetables has been developed.
  • (3) Patient plasma samples demonstrated evidence of marked complement activation, with 3-fold elevations of C3a desArg concentrations by the 8th day of therapy.
  • (4) The proportion of motile spermatozoa decreased with time at the same rate when samples were prepared in either HEPES or phosphate buffers.
  • (5) However, this deficit was observed only when the sample-place preceded but not when it followed the interpolated visits (second experiment).
  • (6) Blood samples were analysed by mass spectroscopy and gas chromatography.
  • (7) Simplicity, high capacity, low cost and label stability, combined with relatively high clinical sensitivity make the method suitable for cost effective screening of large numbers of samples.
  • (8) The main clinical features pertaining to the concept of the "psycho-organic syndrome" (POS) were investigated in a sample of children who suffered from severe craniocerebral trauma.
  • (9) Serum samples from 23 families, including a total of 48 affected children, were tested for a set of "classical markers."
  • (10) Confined placental chorionic mosaicism is reported in 2% of viable pregnancies cytogenetically analyzed on chorionic villi samplings (CVS) at 9-12 weeks of gestation.
  • (11) Sample processing appears effective in avoiding spontaneous oxalogenesis.
  • (12) The correlates of three characteristics of familial networks (i.e., residential proximity, family affection, and family contact) were examined among a national sample of older Black Americans.
  • (13) Finally the advanced automation of the equipment allowed weekly the evaluation of catecholamines and the whole range of their known metabolites in 36 urine samples.
  • (14) Analysis revealed some significant differences in the false-positive rate, depending on the test method used or virus samples evaluated.
  • (15) Just after blood sampling, FEV1 measurements were performed.
  • (16) The study examined the sustained effects of methylphenidate on reading performance in a sample of 42 boys, aged 8 to 11, with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
