A Reagent Blank contains the reagent(s) in the same concentration(s) and solvent(s) as would be contained in a sample prepared for analysis such that the Reagent Blank and a prepared sample only differ in that the Reagent Blank contains no sample and that none of the analyte(s) of interest has(have) been intentionally added to the blank.
For samples containing radioactive isotopes that are prepared then analyzed by alpha particle, beta particle, or gamma ray counting techniques; analytical methods for the direct determination (no reagents are used) of the concentration of elements, ions, or compounds that absorb visible, ultraviolet, or infrared light, such as certain analyses by UV-Vis spectrophotometry and analysis by inductively-coupled plasma - atomic emission spectrophotometry (ICP-AES), ICP - mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) or atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry, preparatory blanks, often called "Prep Blanks," are used. These types of blanks are prepared exactly as if they were samples, for example by preparatory chromatography, solvent extraction, purge-and-trap methods, or acid or fusion digestion, but without any sample added. This type of blank is not technically a Reagent Blank, although it may sometimes be named as such.
Reagent blanks and Prep blanks are used so that the contribution of any species not present, or not expected to be present, in the sample alone that adds to or subtracts from the detection signal may be evaluated or subtracted out (or added to) the detected concentration of the analyte.

Why do we add water to reagent blank?
The reagent blank should contain everything that the sample contains, except one variable. That variable could be the active ingredient, the enzyme, the substrate, or some other ingredient that is essential to the reaction. If water is added to all the other tubes, it must also be added to the reagent blank.
What is blank titration?
Types of titrations 1. Direct titration: analyte + titrant → product 2. Blank titration: titration of a solution not containing the analyte (check for errors) If the endpoint is unclear, we can use a . . . Back titration a. Excess of standard solution is added to analyte (and they react) - Step 1 b. A second standard titrates the excess (unreacted) standard - Step 2 Step 1: analyte + reagent 1 → product + excess reagent 1 Step 2: excess reagent 1 + reagent 2 → product

What is a blank solution?
http://www.speciation.net/Public/Objects/Glossary/index.html? we_objectID=299&rb_select_l=B&rb_search=&PHPSESSID=363d Glossary ---- blank solution 1. a solution that does not contain a detectable amount of the analyte of interest. The blank solution is typically used for calibration purposes. Depending on its purpose the following blank solutions can be defined: Calibration blank (the solution used for creating the zero concentration point of the calibration graph; this solution contains only the diluent used for making the standard solution) 2. Reagent blank (a blank solution that contains the reagents used to dissolve the samples such as acids used for digestion; the reading for this solution is typically substracted from sample readings) 3. Method blank (a blank solution that has been handled similar to a sample, and to which the same reagents have been added, that had contact to the same type of vessels and that was treated by a similar procedure. This solution than is handled to monitor any type of contamination taking place with the method used. The correct treatment of the analytical result for the blank solution does have a significant effect on the correctness of analytical results, especially for samples having analyte concentrations close to the limit of quantitation. Especially the measurement of the reagent and method blank must be well differentiated from the baseline correction.
If you want to read the absorbance at 595nm of a protein solution mixed with the colorizing solution called Bradford reagent what is a suitable reagent blank?
A suitable reagent blank for measuring the absorbance of a protein solution mixed with Bradford reagent at 595nm would be a blank containing all components of the reaction except the protein sample, such as water or buffer mixed with the Bradford reagent. This blank will account for any background absorbance contributed by the reagent itself, allowing for a more accurate measurement of the protein concentration.
What is the difference between reagent blank and sample blank?
Reagent Blank : Take reagent and add deionised water (in place of sample to be tested). Now measure the OD at specific wavelength --> this OD is your reagent blank. Substract this OD from your test result (with sample) to avoid any false +ve effect due to colour of reagents itself.Sample Blank : Take sample and measure the OD without adding reagents --> this OD is your sample blank. Substract this OD from your test result to avoid any false +ve effect due to colour and turbidity of sample itself. As it is the fact that colour and turbidity of each sample would vary from one to another.So now it is clear that Reagent blank is used to avoid bias due to colour of reagents and Sample blank is used to avoid bias due to sample itself.

What chemical reagent of protein?
Biuret reagent is used to test for protein in urine. It is a common test that students in biology class perform. Urine is added to a test tube, followed by approximately the same amount of Biuret reagent. If the solution turns lavender this means that there are proteins present in the urine.
