21 st May 2040, Delhi (the Capital of India) The Prime Minister along with Dr.Abhiram, Dr.Aditya and Dr.Chandrashekaran hoist a press conference along with the Chief National Advisor. The Prime Minister congratulates the team of Scientists who successfully heralded the operation Surya Shakti Project. The Prime Minister declares to the nation that this could only be considered next to the discovery of wheel and fire and which would revolutionize the world in general and India in particular. "People of India" I am proud to state that today with the accomplishment of this Project India has become self reliant in the generation of power and this could begin the era of our victory. The Paradigm has thoughtfully shifted, yes the sun rises in the East, because Satyamev jayate. Our scientists have discovered the secret of Sun's enormous energy. The Sun himself is evident, we have always worshipped him as a source of inspiration, enlightenment and wisdom. He is the one w...

UV-Spectroscopy Spectroscopy is an analytical technique based on the interaction of the electromagnetic radiation with matter. Electromagnetic radiation (E.M.R.) – Electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy which is dual in nature.  Wave nature - frequency, wave-length and velocity.  Particulate nature – individual photon, discrete packet of energy. The energy carried by an E.M.R. or a photon is directly proportional to the frequency, i.e. E = hv =hc/ = hv' c Where h is Planck’s constant h=6.626x10-34J×s Interaction of electromagnetic radiation with Matter The electromagnetic radiation interacts with matter because electrons and molecules in materials are polarizable. Different types of interactions: • Absorption • Reflection • Transmission • Scattering • Refraction Each interaction can disclose certain properties of the matter – When applying E.M.R. of different frequency different type information can be obtained. The energy, E, associated with th...

Analytical Instrument Qualification AIQ is the documented evidence to prove that an instrument performs suitably for its intended purpose. The USP 32 NF 27 has come up with recent chapter on AIQ is a scientific approach and gives guidance of the following:  The approach of AIQ  The criteria to categorize the instrument for assessment of qualification needs  The extent of qualification depending upon the category of instrument  The documentation required. AIQ, Analytical method validation, system suitability tests, and quality control check samples are described as the four critical components involved in the generation of reliable and consistent data. It is the responsibility of user to prepare a User Requirement Specification (URS) which would suffice all the needs as per the requirement for analysis. The manufacturer shall be responsible for preparing the design specification. Categorization of the instruments: As per the USP all the laboratory instruments can be ca...
