uranalysis, urinalysis
(medicine) the chemical analysis of urine (for medical diagnosis)
-
scatology
(medicine) the chemical analysis of excrement (for medical diagnosis or for paleontological purposes)
-
polarography
an electrochemical method of chemical analysis
-
quantitative analysis, quantitative chemical analysis
chemical analysis to determine the amounts of each element in the substance
-
spectrographic analysis, spectrometry, spectroscopic analysis, spectroscopy, spectrum analysis
the use of spectroscopes to analyze spectra
-
dialysis
separation of substances in solution by means of their unequal diffusion through semipermeable membranes
-
dating, geological dating
use of chemical analysis to estimate the age of geological specimens
-
thermogravimetry
the measurement of changes in weight as a function of changes in temperature used as a technique of chemically analyzing substances
-
colorimetric analysis, colorimetry
quantitative chemical analysis by color using a colorimeter
-
volumetric analysis
quantitative analysis by the use of definite volumes of standard solutions or reagents
-
volumetric analysis
determination of the volume of gases (or changes in their volume) during combination
-
gravimetric analysis
quantitative analysis by weight
-
apheresis, pheresis
a procedure in which blood is drawn and separated into its components by dialysis; some are retained and the rest are returned to the donor by transfusion
-
haemodialysis, hemodialysis
dialysis of the blood to remove toxic substances or metabolic wastes from the bloodstream; used in the case of kidney failure
-
mass spectroscopy
the use of spectroscopy to determine the masses of small electrically charged particles
-
microwave spectroscopy
the use of spectroscopy to study atomic or molecular resonances in the microwave spectrum
-
potassium-argon dating
geological dating that relies on the proportions of radioactive potassium in a rock sample and its decay product, argon
-
carbon dating, carbon-14 dating, radiocarbon dating
a chemical analysis used to determine the age of organic materials based on their content of the radioisotope carbon-14; believed to be reliable up to 40,000 years
-
rubidium-strontium dating
geological dating based on the proportions of radioactive rubidium into its decay product strontium; radioactive rubidium has a half-life of 47,000,000,000 years
