Aliquots of the sample solution were treated with a lead complexing reagent and water as follows: Solution 1: 10.0 ml blood sample + 20.0 mL complexing agent + 30.0 mL H20. Solution 2: 10.0 ml blood sample + 20.0 mL complexing agent + 26.0 mL H20 + 4.00 mL of 78 ppb Pb2+ standard. The resulting solutions were analyzed by UV/Vis at 375 nm.

The concentration of purified OXA-M290 is tested with a BCA assay. Serial dilutions of a bovine serum albumin (BSA) stock solution are prepared, then pipetted into a 96-well plate; each dilution of the BSA standard is tested in triplicate. Then, bicinchoninic acid and Cu2+ ions are added to all of the wells of the plate. After incubating the plate for 1 hour, a microplate reader is used to measure the absorbance of all of the wells in the plate at 560 nm. This generates the following data: BSA conc.

A second spectrophotometric method for the quantitative analysis of Pb2+ in blood yields an Ssamp of 0.712 for a 5.00 mL sample of blood. After spiking the blood sample with 5.00 μL of a 1560 ppb Pb2+ external standard, an Sspike of 1.546 is measured. What is the concentration of Pb2+ in the original sample of blood?
Chemistry The levels of an organic pollutant (P) in the groundwater at the perimeter of a plant were a cause for concern. A 10 mL sample of the water was taken and the pollutant was extracted with 95% efficiency using 25 mL of diethyl ether. GC was used to analyse the concentration of P in diethyl ether. A calibration curve was plotted for a series of standards of P which yielded the following results: Peak Area Toluene Conc. (µg/ml) 12,000 2.6 23,700 5.0 35,500 7.7 46,800 9.9 31,250 Sample Determine the concentration of P in ppb in the initial groundwater sample.
