  2. Phosphate test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphate_test

    The absorbance of the blue solution can be measured with a colorimeter and the concentration of phosphate in the original solution can be calculated. Alternatively, a direct (but approximate) reading of phosphate concentration can be obtained by using a Lovibond comparator. This method for phosphate determination is known as Denigés' method ...

  3. Analysis of water chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analysis_of_water_chemistry

    An EPA scientist samples water in Florida Everglades. Samples of water from the natural environment are routinely taken and analyzed as part of a pre-determined monitoring program by regulatory authorities to ensure that waters remain unpolluted, or if polluted, that the levels of pollution are not increasing or are falling in line with an agreed remediation plan.

  4. Bacteriological water analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacteriological_water_analysis

    Bacteriological water analysis is a method of analysing water to estimate the numbers of bacteria present and, if needed, to find out what sort of bacteria they are. It represents one aspect of water quality. It is a microbiological analytical procedure which uses samples of water and from these samples determines the concentration of bacteria ...

  5. Paper-based microfluidics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper-based_microfluidics

    Recently, paper-based devices have become very attractive for making inexpensive, disposable and convenient analytical devices for the determination of reactive phosphate in water. These devices utilize the molybdenum blue protocol for phosphate detection.

  6. Colorimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorimetric_analysis

    Colorimetric analysis is a method of determining the concentration of a chemical element or chemical compound in a solution with the aid of a color reagent.It is applicable to both organic compounds and inorganic compounds and may be used with or without an enzymatic stage.

  7. Buffer solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_solution

    The majority of biological samples that are used in research are kept in a buffer solution, often phosphate buffered saline (PBS) at pH 7.4. In industry, buffering agents are used in fermentation processes and in setting the correct conditions for dyes used in colouring fabrics. They are also used in chemical analysis [5] and calibration of pH ...

  8. Gravimetric analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravimetric_analysis

    Gravimetric analysis describes a set of methods used in analytical chemistry for the quantitative determination of an analyte (the ion being analyzed) based on its mass. The principle of this type of analysis is that once an ion's mass has been determined as a unique compound, that known measurement can then be used to determine the same analyte's mass in a mixture, as long as the relative ...

  9. Molybdovanadate reagent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molybdovanadate_reagent

    It is commonly used in the determination of phosphate ion content. [1] [2] The reagent used is ammonium molybdovanadate with the addition of 70% perchloric acid (sulfuric acid is also known to be used). [citation needed] It is used for purposes such as the analysis of wine, canned fruits and other fruit-based products such as jams and syrups ...
