This describes the formation of a compound that contains an alkyl group.

What is "esterification"?

100

These are the two main purification strategies when using solid-phase extraction.

What are bind-wash-elute & passthrough cleanup?


100

Desorption of analytes from solid-phase microextraction fibres is dependent on these three factors. 

What are:

- analyte boiling point,
-inlet temperature, and
-fibre thickness?

100

This is a form of ELISA wherein antibody is bound to a substrate, sample is added, and more antibodies are used for detection.

What is sandwich ELISA? 

100

BONUS This classmate plays for a national level soccer team.

Who is Fiston?

200

This analytical test is most useful for seeing whether there was any starting material left at the end of the reaction.

What is the ferric chloride assay?

200
This is the name of the software that you use to run the UPLC systems.

What is Empower?

200

Use of internal standards during our pesticide analysis required this calculation, comparing area and concentration of target analyte vs. internal standard component.

What is calculation of relative response factor (RRF)?

200

This step of the ELISA prevents antibody from binding to off-target sites.

What is blocking? 

200

These were the two media in the mixed-mode SPE cartridges used during anthocyanin purification.

What are cation exchange and C18 resins?

300

This must be applied in order for an energy transition to exist between spin states in a nucleus.

What is an applied magnetic field.

300

300

These two steps are required for Quechers preparation of pesticides.

What are extraction (using salts) and purification (using dSPE)?

300

This rarely-used form of ELISA has the advantage of being excellent for detecting very small antigens

What is competitive ELISA?

300

Calculation of total anthocyanin concentration in samples using Beer Lambert equation required these three values?

What are absorbance, pathlength, and molar absorptivity coefficient.

400

The chemical shift, how far to the left of the zero, of an NMR signal is caused by this.

What is the degree of shielding of the hydrogen.

400

In reverse phase chromatography, this is the most polar phase.

What is the mobile phase?

400

This is the gradient that varies during GC analysis.

What is oven temperature?

400

When performing ELISA, this step should be taken if it is anticipated that there will be a very high amount of unknown antigen in the samples.

What is sample dilution? 

400

This measure of process efficiency is represented by the total amount of analyte entering a system compared to the total recovery.

What is mass balance? (yield)

500

These are responsible for the splitting of the signal during Hydrogen NMR.

What are hydrogens bound to adjacent atoms.
500

To change the resolution of peaks on UPLC, these two method parameters should be considered.

What are gradient and flow rate?

500

This GC parameter introduces the entire sample into the gas chromatograph, typically used for trace analysis and solid-phase microextraction.

What is splitless injection?  

500

This property of TNFa made it more suitable for quantification by ELISA than by Western blot.

What is being a "released factor"? 

500

These are the central aglycone structures of anthocyanin molecules.

What are anthocyanidins?
