The methodological advancements in CIEF in tubes and microchips during the period between 2002 and early 2008 are reviewed as a continuation of previous review by the same author (Electrophoresis 2002, 23, 3847-3857). After a brief introduction, the following topics related to CIEF technologies are addressed: the materials used to form capillary tubes and chips; modes of CIEF related to the detection schemes; coatings of the capillary walls; additives to the separation media; sample-loading methods; development of pI markers and their use; focusing time in relation to the length of the pH gradient; resolution in terms of a peak capacity; and, the reproducibility and precision of CIEF. Three principal detection methods are examined, i.e. ultraviolet absorption, fluorescence and MS. The coupling of CIEF with other electrokinetic separation methods and chromatography is discussed, including many multidimensional systems constructed for proteome analysis using mass spectrometric identification. The developments in the separation of non-covalent complexes and microorganisms are examined. After a short conclusion, this review ends with 176 references.

Three-Dimensional Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework-8 as Sorbent Integrated with Active Capillary Plasma Mass Spectrometry for Rapid Assessment of Low-Level Wine and Grape Quality-Related Volatiles.

The most commonly used methods to chemically assess grape and wine quality with high sensitivity and selectivity require lengthy analysis time and can be resource intensive. Here, we developed a rapid and non-destructive method that would help in grading and decision support. In this work, we demonstrate that integrating a three-dimensional (3D) material for volatile sampling with mass spectrometry detection can be used to sample grapes for phytosanitary, quality or smoke-taint assessments at low levels of marker compounds.

Biogenic hydroxyapatite is known for its osteoinductive potential due to its similarity to human bone and biocompatibility, but insufficient vascularization compared to autogenous bone during early implantation limits bone integration and osteogenesis. Fluorine has been shown to improve hydroxyapatite's mechanical properties and the coupling of osteogenic and angiogenic cells. In this study, fluorine-modified biogenic hydroxyapatite (FPHA) with varying fluorine concentrations was prepared and tested for its ability to promote vascularized osteogenesis.

Department of Energy Resources, University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway.
Salt caverns are widely regarded as a suitable option for the underground storage of hydrogen. However, an accurate assessment of the hydrogen leakage through the walls of salt caverns into the surrounding formations remains crucial. In this work, the flow of hydrogen into the surrounding formation is evaluated by assuming that salt rock consists of bundles of tortuous nano-capillary tubes.

Our study aims to assess the thermal inactivation of non-proteolytic type B spores in a plant-based fish and to evaluate the potential of alternative heat treatments at temperatures below the safe harbor guidelines established for vacuum-packed chilled products of extended durability. First, the heat resistance of the spore suspension was determined using capillary tubes in potassium phosphate buffer at 80°C. The D value was estimated to be 0.
