Advances in Nephelometry through the Ecotech Aurora Nephelometer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The challenge for instrument manufacturers is to continuously improve and evolve their instrumentation to keep pace with scientific research. One field where this is evident is atmospheric aerosol research. The variety in aerosol size, shape, chemical composition, and their ability to change properties under varying atmospheric conditions creates many challenges in quantifying their impact on the global energy balance. As such a wide variety of instrumentation from a selection of manufacturers are used for analysing aerosols, all of which provide a little extra information for deciphering the puzzle. Recent advancements in commercial nephelometers by Australian manufacturer Ecotech have helped to piece some more of this puzzle together. This paper will detail these advances.

Clinical nephelometry. 1. New, accurate, heat-precipitation nephelometric method for rapid determination of plasma fibrinogen.
We have developed an accurate procedure for measurement of plasma fibrinogen. Turbidity resulting from heating (56#{176}C, 20 mm) plasma diluted with a new “zwitterionic” buffered-saline reagent (pH 5.6) is nephelometrically measured (600 nm). We evaluated the method both by confirming the accuracy of its prestandardization and calibration on a new clinical nephelometer, and by comparative stan...

The most cpmmon parameters in the specific protein field, namely the immunoglobulins G, A and M were investigated on the recently developed Immuno Video Nephelometer System (IVNS). This System consists of the nephelometer, a microprocessor controlled program and a monitor screen, where instructions, Standard curve and results are displayed. Scattered light of immuno-complexes is measured at equ...
متن کاملLaser nephelometric measurement of seven serum proteins compared with radial immunodiffusion.
Quantification of immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, IgM, C3 complement, siderophilin, alpha 2-macroglobulin and haptoglobin in serum by a Behring laser nephelometer coupled with a date processing apparatus was compared with values obtained by the radial immunodiffusion method of Mancini. The precision was not improved by the use of the laser nephelometer as compared to Mancini radial immunodiffusion, b...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Behring Nephelometer for detection of low level urinary albumin.
Mildly increased urinary albumin excretion rates and concentrations, below the quantity normally detected by conventional urinary protein and albumin methods, have prognostic significance for the development of nephropathy in patients with diabetes mellitus. The authors evaluated the automated Behring Nephelometer using Behring reagents for the detection of low level urinary albumin. Within run...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of PM2.5 Mass Measurements by Nephelometry
With the recently promulgated PM2.5 mass standards, a need has appeared for continuous PM2.5 mass measuring instrumentation to complement standard filter based aerosol samplers. It is generally accepted that in most cases, the PM2.5 mass distribution and light scattering is dominated by particles with diameters in the size range 0.1–1.0μm. Early field studies indicated a reasonable correlation ...
