The Aria LX4 staggered parallel high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system is evaluated for application to good laboratory practice (GLP) level quantitative analysis by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). This system consists of four fully independent binary HPLC pumps, a modified autosampler, and a series of switching and selector valves all controlled by a single computer program. The system improves sample throughput without sacrificing chromatographic separation or data quality. Validation results for four different compounds, each analyzed on a separate channel of the Aria system, show precision and accuracy equivalent to that required of a single-channel system. The results show that sample throughput can be increased nearly four-fold without requiring significant changes in current analytical procedures. The flexibility and ease of use of the Aria system suggest that it should be possible to quickly implement it in any analytical LC/MS/MS environment.

Despite the numerous advantages demonstrated by microfluidic mixing for RNA-loaded lipid nanoparticle (RNA-LNP) production over bulk methods, such as precise size control, homogeneous distributions, higher encapsulation efficiencies, and improved reproducibility, their translation from research to commercial manufacturing remains elusive. A persistent challenge hindering the adoption of microfluidics for LNP production is the fouling of device surfaces during prolonged operation, which significantly diminishes performance and reliability. The complexity of LNP constituents, including lipids, cholesterol, RNA, and solvent mixtures, makes it difficult to find a single coating that can prevent fouling.

Fish in the wild often contend with complex flows that are produced by natural and artificial structures. Research into fish interactions with turbulence often investigates metrics such as turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) or fish positional location, with less focus on the specific interactions between vortex organization and body swimming kinematics. Here, we compared the swimming kinematics of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) holding station in flows produced by two different 3×5 cylinder arrays.

Background: This manuscript presents the challenges of treating various forms of headaches and the potential of interventional techniques targeting the greater occipital nerve (GON) to alleviate the burden on patients. Occipital neuralgia, characterized by stabbing or shooting pain in the base of the skull, is often associated with primary, cervicogenic, or migraine headaches. While occipital nerve blocks offer temporary relief, durable treatment options are limited.
