The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a sample for thin film property measurement and analysis, and a sample manufactured thereby and, more specifically, to: a method for manufacturing a sample capable of measuring or analyzing various properties in one sample; and a sample manufactured thereby.

An example fluidic device includes an elastic tube, a first actuator coupled to an outer surface of the elastic tube between a first end and a second end of the elastic tube, and a second actuator coupled to the outer surface of the elastic tube between the first actuator and the second end of the elastic tube. The first actuator and the second actuator are configured to move apart from one another to transition a portion of the elastic tube positioned between the first actuator and the second actuator from a first condition to a second condition. A diameter of the elastic tube is greater in the first condition than in the second condition. The fluidic device also includes one or more rotatable components coupled to the first actuator and the second actuator which are configured to rotate the portion of the elastic tube positioned between the first actuator and the second actuator.

A method for quantitatively and indirectly measuring non-fluorine anti-soil chemistry in carpet applications, is based on a known amount of FI trace to be added along with anti-soil chemistry in formulation prior to application to a carpet surface. The anti-soil chemistry with the trace amount of FI is then applied to the carpet through a topical foam or spray applicator during a precoating process. After completion of the precoat process, a carpet sample is collected, carpet face fiber is shaved, and FI is extracted using water. The extracted water solution is used to measure the fluorescence intensity (in counts per second or “CPS”) using a Fluorimeter.

The present invention relates to a detection method for determining chloride ions content in sea sand, which is performed in the steps as follows: drying sea sand to a constant weight, adding the dried sea sand to boiling deionized water, and fully stirring, standing and filtering the deionized water to obtain washed sea sand and a washed filtrate; then grinding the washed sea sand into powder, adding the powder into deionized water, fully stirring and filtering the deionized water to obtain a powder filtrate; next, taking half of the washed filtrate and half of the powder filtrate, mixing and stirring the two to prepare a mixed filtrate; and measuring the chloride ions content in each of the washed filtrate, the powder filtrate and the mixed filtrate by using a silver nitrate titration method; finally, analyzing and correcting detection results to obtain the chloride ions content in the sea sand. The present invention promotes the release of the chloride ions in the tight-wrapping surface films and fissures of the sea sand to a great extent, providing a scientific guarantee for the authenticity of the detection results on the chloride ions content in the sea sand; and realizes the quick dissolution of the chloride ions, thereby greatly reducing the detection time and significantly increasing the accuracy of the detection results.

The invention relates to a device and the operating method therefor, for the fragmentation of a biological material within in a sealed sterile environment with an aseptic procedure.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method of preparing a sample for crystallographic analysis used for structure determination of a compound having a nucleophilic group based on the crystalline sponge method. The present invention provides a method of preparing a sample for crystallographic analysis used for structure determination of a compound having a nucleophilic group based on the crystalline sponge method, the method including the steps: (A) derivatizing the nucleophilic group of the compound, and (B) soaking the derivatized compound into a crystalline sponge. The method of the invention allows the structure (particularly, absolute configuration) of a compound which is not amenable to structural analysis based on the crystalline sponge method to be quickly and precisely determined by a simple procedure.
