• Pressure Digestion for Sample Preparation
  

  What analyst does not wish for a universal method for processing all his or her samples? Pressure digestion represents just such a procedure for sample digestions and is therefore one of the standard sample preparation procedures currently employed in analytical chemistry for element quantification more

• UV/Vis/NIR Spectrometry for the Film Thickness Determination of Transparent Films and Layers
  

  Within nearly all branches of industry we find products, which are coated with thin transparent layers to improve the surface features: Window sheet glasses obtain changes in reflection and absorption behavior, ceramics are treated with coatings to lower water adhesion, coatings on metals create corrosion resistance or better sliding factors. Transparent coatings play also a major role in the semiconductor business. One of the important features to be determined and controlled is the thickness of the layers to balance performance and material input during development and production more

• A Platform System for Microwave Sample Preparation
  

  Today's technology enables the near-perfect determination of trace elements in all concentrations down to the ultra trace range. Modern AAS, ICP-OES, ICP-MS or electrochemical procedures such as voltammetry are reliable and accurate measuring methods for almost every type of task. However, in most cases the sample material has to be supplied in a suitable, measurable form, i.e. as a largely matrix-free solution without contamination or loss of analytes more

• Inflammatory response and bone healing capacity of two porous calcium phosphate ceramics in a critical size cortical bone defects

  Abstract In the present study, two open porous calcium phosphate (CaP) ceramics, β tricalcium phosphate (β‐TCP) and hydroxyapatite (HA) were compared in a critical‐sized femoral defect in rats. Previous comparisons of these two ceramics showed significantly greater osteoinductive potential of β‐ more
