Sample stacking techniques in electrophoresis are gaining popularity due to their ability to provide improved sensitivity and separation efficiency. The principles behind sample stacking and electrophoretic migration have been studied extensively. Nevertheless, there are still a number of observations and descriptions of ionic boundaries and migration modes for which the underlying principles are not yet fully understood. For example, the behavior of capillary isotachophoresis (cITP) systems that exhibit self-sharpening effects can be complex, especially when the buffer systems contain many ionic components. In this work, cITP coupled with 1H NMR detection is used to study electrophoretic migration of ions in both anionic and cationic cITP. A significant advantage of 1H NMR over other detection methods is the high specificity of this method, allowing detection of individual buffer and analyte constituents within the migration zones.

Biological applications using multiphoton microscopy increasingly seek a larger field of view while maintaining sufficient temporal sampling to observe dynamic biological processes. Multiphoton imaging also requires high numerical aperture microscope objectives to realize efficient non-linear excitation and collection of fluorescence. This combination of low-magnification and high-numerical aperture poses a challenge for system design.

Fused silica and S-BSL7 glass with 532 nm high reflectivity (HR) coatings were irradiated using Co gamma-ray source at a dose rate of 1 Gy/s for a total dose of 1-500 kGy. After irradiation, the samples were subjected to raster scan testing using a laser with a pulse width of approximately 8.

Purpose Of Review: A major contributor to household air pollution (HAP) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is unclean cooking fuel. Improved cookstove technology (ICT) interventions have been promoted as a solution, but their impacts on health are unclear. Our aim is to conduct a systematic review to explore the impacts of ICT interventions on health outcomes in SSA.

The extensive use of tetracyclines in livestock poses health risks due to their residues in animal-derived food; therefore, developing simple detection methods to replace complex traditional approaches is of paramount importance. Here, we developed a dual-ligand zinc-based metal-organic framework material, Zn-BTC-BDC-NH (denoted as ZTD), for the detection of tetracyclines. The intrinsic blue fluorescence of ZTD was quenched upon the introduction of tetracyclines due to electron transfer from -NH of ZTD to -CO- and -OH groups of tetracycline molecules; meanwhile, the new green fluorescence emission was generated through π-π stacking between aromatic rings and the formation of complexes between Zn and C-O/C═O groups.

Water quality monitoring is one of the critical aspects of industrial wastewater treatment, which is important for checking the treatment effect, optimizing the treatment technology and ensuring that the water quality meets the standard. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a key indicator for monitoring water quality, which reflects the degree of organic matter pollution in water bodies. However, the current methods for determining COD values have drawbacks such as slow speed and complicated operation, which hardly meet the demand of online monitoring.
