BACKGROUND Transfer of passive immunity in calves can be assessed by direct measurement of immunoglobulin G (IgG) by methods such as radial immunodiffusion (RID) or turbidimetric immunoassay (TIA). IgG can also be measured indirectly by methods such as serum refractometry (REF) or Brix refractometry (BRIX). OBJECTIVES To determine the accuracy of REF and BRIX for assessment of inadequate tran...

Abstract This paper describes the steps taken to improve measurement speed of a combined low-coherence and confocal refractive index system. The instrument measures thickness transparent plates using fibre-based interferometer with line-scan spectrometer. spectrometer allows on-line dispersion which is necessary derive sample t as well both phase group indices np, ng. measurements were performe...

A perfusion chamber is described with which a tissue culture can be irrigated successively with different immersion media. Only 1-2 ml. of medium are required for each change, which can be accomplished within 1 minute. Simplicity of design permits speed and economy in manufacture. Perfusion by suction instead of by positive pressure has eliminated certain drawbacks of previous designs. Mixing e...

Experimental solubility curves and tie-line data for the (water + phenol + 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) system was obtained at T = 298.2 K and atmospheric pressure. The tie-line data was determined by techniques karl-fischer and refractometry. This ternary system exhibits type-2 behavior of LLE. Distribution coefficients and separation factors were measured to evaluate the extracting ability of the solve...
