  Method of measuring dialysis or clearance of hemodialysis systems - Patent 6702774
The amount of substance riot dialyzed in the dialyzer is measured downstream of the dialyzer by said sensor by integrating the concentration over time.
The method according to the invention is characterized by adding a pre determined amount of a substance to the dialysate circuit upstream of the dialyzer and by measuring the amount of said substance leaving the dialyzer downstream in the dialysate and calculating the dialysance or clearance respectively for the substance added.
Alternatively to the injection of a liquid substance the addition of an amount of a substance is possible by conveying the dialysate through a powder cartridge or powder bag for a short period.

  Amount of substance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amount of substance of an object is a physical quantity that measures the number of elementary entities in the object compared with the number of elementary entities in 0.012 kilogram of pure carbon-12 (elementary entities may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, or particles).
The SI unit for amount of particulate substance is the mole (mol)
The amount of substance is not the same as the amount of matter (mass).

 Chemical Sciences: Molar Stoichiometry: Mole: Amount of Substance
The mole is the SI unit for amount of substance.
Chemists use both intensive properties, which are characteristic of a substance and independent of the amount of the substance, and extensive properties, which are characteristic of a substance and directly proportional to the amount of the substance.
Example: the heat capacity of a substance is the amount of heat required to change its temperature, while the specific heat capacity or specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to change its temperature per gram or kilogram of the substance.

 Rreporting On Risk | Exposure Assessment Basics
Measuring the amount of a substance in the environment is usually straightforward for short-term exposures.
After the amount of the substance in the environment is assessed, the route of exposure must be determined-inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact-and the amount that people take in is then estimated.
That is, once the exposure assessment has estimated the amount of a substance the population of interest has actually been exposed to, then the results of the toxicity assessments can be used to estimate the degree of harm to that population.

 Molar volume - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In chemistry, the molar volume of a substance is the ratio of the volume of a sample of that substance to the amount of substance (usually in mole) in the sample.
The molar volume is usually given for a solid substance at 298.15 K (temperature of standard state).
Apart from temperature and density, it depends on phase and allotrope of the substance.

 Helge Strömdahl - 1996
Via the theory it is shown that the defaulting attainment of the 1971 convention among the educators is a consequence of a non-apprehension of the base physical quantity amount of substance, and thereby the conceptual habitat of the SI unit 1 mol.
The non-attainment of amount of substance and its unit 1 mol is an example of the fact that concepts are theory-laden and can only be attained within the theories to which they belong.
Hence, the representatives of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) are addressed to reconsider the commentary on amount of substance and the unit 1 mol in the IUPAC manual, inter alia in view of the results of the present investigation.

When we run an assay we must ensure that only the substance we are assaying is responsible for absorbance of light in the wavelength range of interest.
Beyond some maximum amount or concentration an assay becomes saturated, that is, increases in amount or concentration do not affect absorbance.
A standard curve is obtained by plotting absorbance versus amount of substance X. If the relationship is clearly linear, a standard curve isn't even necessary.

 Definition of Amount of substance
Amount of substance of an object is a physical quantity that measures the number of elementary entities in the object compared with the number of elementary entities in 0.012 kilogram of pure carbon-12 (elementary entities may be atoms, molecules, ions, electrons, or particles).
This latter quantity is deemed a unit amount of substance.
The amount of substance of an object is a separate physical quantity, and should not not be confused with, the amount of matter or mass of an object, which has the SI unit of kilogram (kg).
