Thanks to the bioclimatic chamber, we can simulate temperature, light and relative humidity under controlled conditions. This allows us to carry out preliminary tests aimed at studying how plants will behave, the functioning of products and substances in any region of the world or circumstances. Therefore, the climatic chamber is a very useful and differential tool, which is used as…

A little history Chromatography, from the Greek chroma (color) and grapho (writing), comprises a set of techniques that aim to separate mixtures based on the different interaction capacity of each component on / in other substances in solid or liquid state. That is, it consists of passing a mixture of substances or mobile phase, over a stationary phase that will…

Detectando iones Figure 1. Ionization by ESI Atoms, in order to be deflected by magnetic or electric fields, must first be ionized by bombardment of a beam of electrons, giving rise to positively charged particles. Those electrons act like billiard balls, removing electrons from the sample. This is achieved by passing the sample in solution through a capillary to which…

Fundamentos de la espectrometría de masas The principles behind mass spectrometry are somewhat abstract, so let's start with a mental exercise. Imagine you want to weigh a fully loaded truck. The easiest would be to drive the vehicle to a heavy truck scale. Next, we want to weigh a wheel. We could do this with a normal scale. Next we…
