A new method for measuring the magnetic properties of aqueous and organic solutions is presented. This approach is based on quantifying the force resulting from the sample's interaction with a magnetic field. The experimental setup utilizes neodymium magnets attached to a stepper motor to adjust the distance between the magnets and the test sample, while an analytical balance serves as a strain gauge. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed on selected inorganic and organic solutions. A series of finite element simulations allowed us to convert experimental results to physical quantities describing magnetic susceptibilities of substances. The limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantification (LoQ) values for the developed method of determining magnetic susceptibility were equal to 6.6710(-3) M and 2.0210(-2) M, respectively.

Abstract
A new method for measuring the magnetic properties of aqueous and organic solutions is presented. This approach is based on quantifying the force resulting from the sample's interaction with a magnetic field. The experimental setup utilizes neodymium magnets attached to a stepper motor to adjust the distance between the magnets and the test sample, while an analytical balance serves as a strain gauge. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were performed on selected inorganic and organic solutions. A series of finite element simulations allowed us to convert experimental results to physical quantities describing magnetic susceptibilities of substances. The limit of detection (LoD) and limit of quantification (LoQ) values for the developed method of determining magnetic susceptibility were equal to 6.6710(-3) M and 2.0210(-2) M, respectively.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
