Is there a device that measures serotonin simply by pricking blood into it?

I'm not positive but I don't think so. There is a Kit (quite expensive) that can be used to tell blood levels of serotonin: The Serotonin-ELISA kit provides materials for the quantitative measurement of chemically derivatized serotonin in serum, plasma, urine, tissue homogenates and tissue culture supernates. The sample preparation, i.e. derivatization of serotonin to N-acylserotonin, is part of the sample dilution and is achieved by incubation of the respective sample with the "Acylation Reagent". But knowing Serotonin levels in the brain are not so easy, since Serotonin is restricted by the Blood-Brain barrier. Spinal Tap for this I believe. TommyTrouble

What does mm mean to sterling silver what is the conversion to grams?
Mm simply refers to the initial mass when made. As for the conversion to Grammes, well there is an easy way to do the Mm conversion to Grammes 1) take the item 2) place item on a scale that measures in grammes 3) take a measurement. Hope this helps.
Why is absorbance not measured directly?
Simply because we cannot measure light absorbed. We are, however, able to measure light transmitted through the use of a spectrophotometer. The device works by shining light of a specific wavelength on a substance and measuring the amount of light that gets through. This "transmittance" has a negative logarithmic relationship to absorbance.
Compare filtration and decantation which is more effective in separating solids from liquids?
Filtration is simply filtering a certain object from the liquid using a filter. The filter must have a certain size filtering device. Anything smaller will seep through. Distillation turns the liquid into a vapor leaving all solids behind. The steam will rise and then liquify again, usually through a coil or other device and the resulting liquid will be free of all solids. This makes the liquid free from impurities or solids and be much cleaner or purer. To answer the question, distillation is more effective in separating solids from a liquid.
Is ammonia amphoteric?
No, it is simply basic.
What should be taken if there is a lack of serotonin?
Many doctors will purscribe SSRIs and SNRIs to treat serotonin deficiency but it is not a cure, just a bandaid and a poor one at that. People with criticaly low serotonin levels are unable to benefit from the effects of SSRIs and SNRIs simply due to the brain's own inability to trigger the release of serotonin in any meaningful ammounts without outside stimulis (in my case due to heavy drug abuse in my youth).
Is a VDU a output device or input device?
It depends on the construction. A 'standard' monitor is simply an output device... however - a 'touch-sensitive' monitor is also an input device.
Does thermometer measure heat or temperature?
Different thermometers make use of different physical properties, that change with temperature - for example, volume, electrical resistance, and others. The basic household thermometer simply has a liquid - previously mercury, nowadays usually colored alcohol - that expands when it is heated.
What are the functions output device?
Output device is simply a device which produces an output or result of any processing. For example: monitor is an output device which displays the output of the calculations done by the CPU.
Do velocity vectors combine with force vectors?
simply: No, Velocity vectors are different to force vectors. One measures velocity and one measures force so you can not simply add/subtract/multiply/divide them together and get something meaningful.
What supplement is good for sleep?
Sleep help with MX 5-HTP works because unlike other serotonin supplements that suggest that they can 'boost' your mood or help improve your quality of sleep, this is a naturally occurring substance in the body. 5-HTP is the precursor to serotonin and it already naturally exists in your brain. Having more of it will simply help to produce more serotonin and provide a more balanced level of activity within the brain.

How does a laser ranging device work?
This device simply sends out a short pulse of light to the target, and measures the time to the the reflection. Knowing the speed of light, this gives distance. By a slight modification, if the target is moving, then the frequency of the reflected light will be different, due to the Doppler principle. Measuring this frequency change gives the speed at which the target is moving either towards or away. - Our laser speed gun.
