How ionic composition of Tissue fluids is determined
Determination of ionic composition of Tissue fluids is accomplished using a number of chemical analytical methods with the help of various instruments. We shall look at some of these methods used to estimate the ionic composition of tissue fluids based on the elements analysed. Sodium and Potassium As discussed in the previous article, Sodium…

How Flame Photometers are used in Chemical Analysis
Flame Photometer is used to quantify the concentration of Sodium and Potassium in the body. Basic Principle of Operation of a Flame Photometer When a sample is heated, the electrons are raised from the ground state to a higher state. The excited electrons are unstable and return to the ground state emitting photons of a…
