High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for fingerprint analysis of Psoralea corylifolia. Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MSn) technique was first employed to identify the components of the fingerprint. The samples were separated with an Alltima C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) by linear gradient elution using water-acetic acid (A; 100:0.1, v/v) and acetonitrile (B; 0 min, 40%; 15 min, 50%; 35 min, 60%; 45 min, 70%; 55 min, 80%; and maintained for 5 min) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and detector wavelength at 245 nm. A standard procedure was developed for HPLC fingerprint analysis. Average chromatogram of 10 batches of P. corylifolia L. from Sichuan and Henan Provinces, PR China, which has been considered as the original and genuine herbal medicine for a long time, was first established as the characteristic fingerprint. There are 12 common peaks in this fingerprint. Ten of these common peaks were identified by MS data. This profile was then used to identify and assess the differences among the herb grown in various areas of China. The HPLC fingerprint analysis is specific and may serve for quality identification and comprehensive evaluation of P. corylifolia.

In case of severely burned bodies, victim identification by visual or fingerprints recognition is often prevented by altered body conditions. To overcome these circumstances, different techniques are available. Among these, the most reliable is molecular identification, especially in cases of detached body parts.

The proliferation of micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) has emerged as a pivotal environmental issue, largely due to their potential for human exposure. Consequently, the development of sensitive and efficient detection methodologies is paramount for elucidating their environmental footprint. Here, we report a novel three-dimensional (3D) surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensor, which integrate TiCT/TiO/WO semiconductor heterostructure, for the rapid and sensitive detection of MNPs in environmental matrices.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. A rapid minimally invasive and non-destructive approach to disease diagnosis is a critical unmet need.

Fluorescence fingerprinting is a technique to uniquely characterize water samples based on their distinct composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) measured via 3D fluorescence spectroscopy. It is an effective tool for monitoring the chemical composition of various water systems. This study examines a river affected by several municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents and aims to source-tracing them via fluorescence fingerprints based on parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) components.

In this study, an integrated approach combining UHPLC-HRMS, H NMR spectroscopy, and sensory analysis unveiled the unique lipid fingerprint of long-ripened Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) Coppa Piacentina. Lipidomic profiling revealed significant alterations in lipid classes, including triacylglycerols, sphingolipids, and their oxidation products, which likely contribute to the distinctive flavor, texture, and nutritional properties of this traditional Italian product. UHPLC-HRMS analysis identified various lipid species, highlighting dynamic changes occurring throughout the 240-day ripening process.
