AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
This paper presents the first study of imaging of spots on thin-layer chromatographic plates whilst still wet with solvent. Imaging and quantification of Sudan II after development with dichloromethane was carried out in both reflectance and transmission modes, using a charge coupled device (CCD) camera. The relationship between peak area and sample loading was established at low sample loading, and found to be linear over an order of magnitude for both wet and dry modes with r2-values > 0.99. All data processing was carried out using the Beer-Lambert equation. Curvature at high loadings in the plots of integrated absorbance as a function of sample loading was accounted for using an empirical expression designed for use with the Kubelka-Munk treatment and apparent absorbance of the stationary phase due to scattering. Results are consistent with an effective pathlength significantly longer than the thickness of the sorbent layer. The limit of detection on a dry plate (0.5 ng) was found to be lower than on a wetted plate (2 ng). Precision was found to be 1-4% RSD intra-plate and 8-14% RSD inter-plate. Results are compared with quantification of the same analyte on dried plates.

Identifying and quantifying the dominant factors influencing heavy metal (HM) pollution sources are essential for maintaining soil ecological health and implementing effective pollution control measures. This study analyzed soil HM samples from 53 different land use types in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province, China. Pollution sources were identified using Absolute Principal Component Score (APCS), with 8 anthropogenic factors, 9 natural factors, and 4 soil physicochemical properties mapped using Geographic Information System (GIS) kernel density estimation.

Tick-borne spotted fever rickettsioses (SFRs) continue to cause severe illness and death in otherwise-healthy individuals due to lack of a timely and reliable diagnostic laboratory test. We recently identified a diagnostic biomarker for SFRs, the putative N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase RC0497. Here, we developed a prototype laboratory test that targets RC0497 for diagnosis of SFRs.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) has been recognized as the most reliable diagnostic tool. However, there is a need to develop multiplexed assays capable of analyzing multiple genes simultaneously to expand its application. To address this, a multiplexed RT-qPCR using a double emulsion (DE)-based carrier and a polymer microparticle reactor, termed primer-incorporated network tailored with Taqman probe (TaqPIN) is developed.

Impacts of seasonality on mercury concentrations, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and stable isotopes: implications for the use of tetragnathid spiders as sentinels.

Riparian spiders are used in ecotoxicology as sentinels of bioavailable contaminants that are transferred from aquatic to terrestrial habitats via emergent aquatic insects. Spiders in the family Tetragnathidae are particularly of interest because a high proportion of their diet consists of emergent aquatic insects and their contaminant loads reflect the amount transferred through the food web to riparian predators. The transfer of contaminants can be determined through food web tracers such as stable isotopes and polyunsaturated fatty acids; however, it is unclear how contaminants and tracers vary over the course of a year.
