We describe investigations into the cause of retention losses encountered when C8 and C18 HPLC columns are used with highly aqueous (> 90% water) mobile phases. A procedure for quantifying these losses is described, involving stopping and restarting the flow. This procedure was used to study the dependence of retention loss on the pore size, surface concentration, and chemical structure of the bonded phase. Experiments were also carried out to determine how to restore the original retention of the columns by changing the composition of the mobile phase, or by increasing the pressure applied to the column. The results are shown to be consistent with a mechanism based on the theory of pore filling by non-wetting liquids, as employed in Mercury Porosimetry. The retention losses are attributed to the highly aqueous mobile phase being forced out of the pores when the flow is stopped and the pressure released. Retention is lost because the mobile phase is no longer in contact with the interior surface of the particles, where most of the surface area is located. The implications of this phenomenon for maximizing the reversed phase retention of polar analytes are discussed.

An ecofriendly, effective, and selective spectrofluorimetric approach for natamycin analysis was developed using fluorescamine as a fluorogenic probe. Natamycin is the only topical ocular antifungal medication that is presently on the market for treating keratitis, conjunctivitis, and blepharitis caused by yeast and other fungi. Owing to its primary aliphatic amino group, natamycin can easily interact with fluorescamine resulting in the formation of the highly fluorescent diaryl pyrrolone derivative.

Organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) severely pollute various environmental water due to their excessive use, and it is extremely urgent to develop novel adsorbents with high adsorption capacities, rapid removal rate and easily recovery for the removal of OPPs. In this study, defect-rich Co/N-doped hierarchically porous carbons (Co/N-DHPCs) were constructed by pyrolyzing acid-etched ZIF-67 precursor. The developed Co/N-DHPCs possessed rich defects, well-developed hierarchical porous structure, high specific surface area and excellent magnetic property, and exhibited large adsorption capacities of 103.

Since the biological activities and toxicities of 'foreign' and/or excess levels of metal ions are predominantly determined by their precise molecular nature, here we have employed high-resolution H NMR analysis to explore the 'speciation' of paramagnetic Ni(II) ions in human saliva, a potentially rich source of biomolecular Ni(II)-complexants/chelators. These studies are of relevance to the corrosion of nickel-containing metal alloy dental prostheses (NiC-MADPs) in addition to the dietary or adverse toxicological intake of Ni(II) ions by humans. Unstimulated whole-mouth human saliva samples were obtained from n = 12 pre-fasted (≥8 h) healthy participants, and clear whole-mouth salivary supernatants (WMSSs) were obtained from these via centrifugation.

A multiomic study of the structural characteristics of type A and B influenza viruses by means of highly spectrally resolved Raman spectroscopy is presented. Three virus strains, A H1N1, A H3N2, and B98, were selected because of their known structural variety and because they have co-circulated with variable relative prevalence within the human population since the re-emergence of the H1N1 subtype in 1977. Raman signatures of protein side chains tyrosine, tryptophan, and histidine revealed unequivocal and consistent differences for pH characteristics at the virion surface, while different conformations of two C-S bond configurations in and methionine rotamers provided distinct low-wavenumber fingerprints for different virus lineages/subtypes.
