Noble Gases

The elements in group 18 are noble gases (helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon). They earned the name “noble” because they were assumed to be nonreactive since they have filled valence shells. In 1962, Dr. Neil Bartlett at the University of British Columbia proved this assumption to be false. These elements are present in the atmosphere in small amounts. Some natural gas contains 1–2% helium by mass. Helium is isolated from natural gas by liquefying the condensable components,...

Here, we test the dissolution of Rhodiola granules (RG) in vitro, draw dissolution curves of salidroside, gallic acid, and ethyl gallate in ultrapure water, and fit the curves to different mathematical models. This protocol provides information and guidance for in vivo bioequivalence and in vivo-in vitro correlation studies of RG.

Particles in a solid are tightly packed together (fixed shape) and often arranged in a regular pattern; in a liquid, they are close together with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape); in a gas, they are far apart with no regular arrangement (no fixed shape). Particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions (cannot flow) and do not generally move in relation to one another; in a liquid, they move past each other (can flow) but remain in essentially constant contact; in a gas, they move...

Mixtures of Gases: Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures and Mole Fractions

Unless individual gases chemically react with each other, the individual gases in a mixture of gases do not affect each other’s pressure. Each gas in a mixture exerts the same pressure that it would exert if it were present alone in the container. The pressure exerted by each individual gas in a mixture is called its partial pressure. This means that in a mixture containing three different gases A, B, and C, if PA is the partial pressure of gas A; PB is the partial pressure of gas B; PC is the...

We present a method for rapid, reversible immobilization of small molecules and functionalized nanoparticle assemblies for Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) studies, using sequential on-chip bioorthogonal cycloaddition chemistry and antibody-antigen capture.
FAQs
Different gaseous species can produce distinct responses through properties such as absorption, chemical reaction, or interaction with a sensor material. Multi-component gas detection uses these differences to separate contributions within a combined measurement rather than treating the entire signal as one analyte. This selectivity supports identification and concentration estimation when several gases are present simultaneously.
Signals from different gases can overlap when their effects on a sensor or measurement system are not fully distinct. Signal processing or spectroscopic analysis helps resolve these combined responses by examining their separate characteristics. Managing overlap is important because changing mixture composition can otherwise reduce identification accuracy and make concentration estimates less reliable.
Calibration connects measured responses with the presence or concentration of specific gases. It allows engineers to interpret selective sensor signals, processed data, or spectroscopic results quantitatively rather than only recognizing that a mixture has changed. Reliable calibration strengthens comparisons among measurements and supports process decisions, emissions assessment, and hazard evaluation.
Single-gas sensing focuses on one target analyte, while multi-component gas detection must distinguish several contributors within the same sample. The broader approach therefore places greater emphasis on selectivity, signal separation, calibration, and interpretation of changing mixtures. Its advantage is a more complete view of complex gas conditions, although overlapping responses make analysis more demanding.
A typical workflow begins by collecting a shared gas sample and obtaining responses that vary with the species present. Engineers then apply signal processing, calibration, or spectroscopic analysis to distinguish the gases and estimate their concentrations. The resulting information can be compared with operating or safety needs to guide decisions about process conditions, emissions, or possible leaks.
Engineers may choose this approach when several gases occur together and the mixture itself affects interpretation, safety, or system performance. A combined analysis can characterize changing composition in industrial processes, assess multiple contributors to emissions, or support hazardous-leak detection. It is especially relevant when measuring each gas independently would overlook interactions or overlapping measurement responses.
By estimating the identities and concentrations of multiple gases, the measurement can provide information about changing process conditions and emissions composition. Engineers can use that information for process control, emissions assessment, and environmental monitoring. The ability to follow several species in one sample improves the basis for real-time decisions compared with relying on a single-gas indication.
Improved selectivity and quantitative analysis can strengthen safety, efficiency, and real-time decision-making in engineered systems. Identifying several gases helps reveal hazardous leaks, characterize emissions, and understand complex process streams. These outcomes depend on resolving overlapping signals and interpreting changing mixture composition accurately, making calibration and suitable signal analysis central to practical performance.
