State-of-the-art X-ray fluorescence instrumentation for chemical analysis University of Antwerp
Nowadays, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) is a well-established analytical technique for qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis (sometimes from Be to U) of a wide variety of samples. In particular, the truly multi-element character, acceptable speed and economy, ease of automation and the possibility to directly analyse solid samples are the most important features among the many that have made it a very mature analytical tool for ...
Advances in ultra‐high‐pressure and multi‐dimensional liquid chromatography instrumentation and workflows Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The present contribution discusses recent advances in ultra‐high‐pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and multi‐dimensional liquid chromatography (MDLC) technology. First, new developments in UHPLC column technology and system design are highlighted. The latter includes a description of a novel injector concept enabling method speed‐up, emerging detectors, and instrument diagnostics approaches. Next, online MDLC workflows are reviewed and ...
Worldviews, Science and Us: Studies of Analytical Metaphysics. A Selection of Topics From a Methodological Perspective. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
A general practical tendency of contemporary analytical metaphysics goes as follows. Research focuses on certain largely isolated topics e.g. the nature of properties, (mental) causation, actions, perception, colours, qualia, the self etc. In such a discussion, different possible ontological positions are traced and mapped in function of the capability to individuate and define the subject-matter. A wide range of methodological instruments is ...
An Analytical Framework to Study Multi-Actor Partnerships Engaged in Interactive Innovation Processes in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Rural Development Sector Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Ghent University
Communities of practice (CoPs) interact with a range of external stakeholders who col-lectively influence the direction of the community and the achievement of its goals. In the case of multi-actor co-innovation partnerships, which are perceived as a type of combination between a community of practice and innovation network in this paper, internal and external interactions consequently influence the ability of these partnerships to co-innovate. ...
Analytical performance evaluation of four cartridge-type blood gas analyzers KU Leuven Ghent University
BACKGROUND: The immediate impact of blood gas test results on patient care favors the use of blood gas analyzers as point-of-care-testing (POCT) devices. We performed an analytical performance evaluation of four cartridge-type blood gas analyzers for the determination of pH, partial carbon dioxide pressure (pCO2), partial oxygen pressure (pO2), ionized calcium (iCa2+), potassium (K+), glucose, lactate and total hemoglobin (tHb), in comparison ...
Analytical Report 2017 on mutual assistance and sincere cooperation. An inquiry into the cooperation to enforce the coordination Regulations and to combat fraud and error. Ghent University
Good administration and cooperation can be regarded as of paramount importance for the smooth functioning of the coordination Regulations and might be considered as the fifth general coordination principle. Good cooperation is a set of indispensable rules for the good functioning of the coordination system. Throughout the different modifications to the coordination Regulations, this principle has been vested with a higher status. During recent ...
Analytical characterization of a new mobile X-ray fluorescence and X-ray diffraction instrument combined with a pigment identification case study Ghent University University of Antwerp
Analytical capabilities of laboratory, benchtop and handheld X-ray fluorescence systems for detection of metals in aqueous samples pre-concentrated with solid-phase extraction disks University of Antwerp
We aimed to achieve improved instrumental sensitivity and detection limits for the analysis of several elements (Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb and Cd) in aqueous samples with energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF). The metals were pre-concentrated from aqueous solutions using commercially available organic-based solid-phase extraction (SPE) disks functionalized with iminodiacetate groups. These thin-layer organic materials provide an ideal ...
