Glycerolpropylsilane bonded phases in the steric exclusion chromatography of biological macromolecules.

Glycerolpropylsilane bonded phases have been found to control the adsorption and/or denaturation of proteins and nucleic acids on controlled porosity glass supports. The bonded-phase thickness is 18-19A while the amount of glycerol moiety varies from 80 to 150 mumoles/g depending on support pore diameter. It has been demonstrated that carbohydrate bonded supports may be used in the chromatography of proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides.

Collaborative study of an automated method for the determination of crude protein in animal feeds.

An automated macro Kjeldahl instrument determines per cent protein at the rate of 20 samples/hr. The methodology involved is similar to the present official final action Kjeldahl method, sec. 7.

Collaborative study of a semiautomated method for the determination of crude protein in animal feeds.

A semiautomated method consisting of digestion of animal feeds in a block digestor and determination of ammonia by ammonia-salicylate reaction has been studied collaboratively, along with the official final action Kjeldahl method, sec. 7.016.
