Lithium and copper are distributed equally between cells and serum. However, red cells contain more magnesium, zinc, and iron than does serum. To assure analytical accuracy, hemolysis should be avoided. Also, cells and sera must be separated shortly after sample collection. Since aqueous solutions leach magnesium from glass containers, materials and reagents meant for magnesium analysis should ...

Chemical spectra are an important part of how research chemists analyse the outcomes of experiments. However these complex spectra can be very difficult and time consuming to analyse. This paper outlines an investigation into using sonification to improve the understanding and ease of analysis of chemical spectral data. The project specifically uses sonification techniques to display Nuclear Ma...
