Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy is an efficient tool for the detection of low nitric oxide (NO) concentrations down to the parts per trillion (ppt) range. The isotopic selectivity of this method provides a broad potential of applications. Whereas (14)N(16)O and (15)N(16)O have been described extensively this is not the case for the (14)N(18)O isotopologue. A (1+1) resonance enhanced multiphoton excitation time-of-flight mass spectrometer has been used for the simultaneous detection of (14)N(16)O, (15)N(16)O and (14)N(18)O isotopologues. Regions with single (14)N(18)O transitions have been studied in more detail by the LIF device. Electronic excitation of the A-X transition in the UV provides fluorescence which is monitored around 247 nm from A(2)Sigma(+)(v'=0)-->X(2)Pi(Omega)(v''=2). This transition has been used for an isotope specific online detection of (14)N(18)O from exhaled air. The detection limit for (14)N(18)O is 7.3+/-1.8 ppt. With respect to (18)O-labelled drugs and amino acids this denotes a novel extension to NO research.

Background: Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are primarily repaired through non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) and homologous recombination (HR). Given that DSBs are highly cytotoxic, PARP inhibitors (PARPi), a prominent class of anticancer drugs, are designed to target tumors with HR deficiency (HRD), such as those harboring BRCA mutations. However, many tumor cells acquire resistance to PARPi, often by restoring HR in HRD cells through the inactivation of NHEJ.

Accurate and efficient sorting of single target cells is crucial for downstream single-cell analysis, such as RNA sequencing, to uncover cellular heterogeneity and functional characteristics. However, conventional single-cell sorting techniques, such as manual micromanipulation or fluorescence-activated cell sorting, do not match current demands and are limited by low throughput, low sorting efficiency and precision, or limited cell viability. Here, we report an automated, highly efficient single-cell sorter, integrating laser-induced forward transfer (LIFT) with a high-throughput picoliter micropore array.

The hydroxysilylene (HSiOH) molecule has been spectroscopically identified in the gas phase for the first time. This highly reactive species was produced in a twin electric discharge jet using separate precursor streams of 16O2/18O2 and Si2H6/Si2D6, both diluted in high pressure argon. The strongest and most stable laser induced fluorescence (LIF) signals were obtained by applying an electric discharge to each of the precursor streams and then merging the discharge products just prior to expansion into vacuum.

With the increasing demand for energy, nuclear energy has been developing rapidly. The quantitative detection and qualitative identification of uranium (U) are of great significance for the comprehensive and efficient use of U resources and the control of nuclear and radioactive substances. In this study, the detection of U is divided into liquid sample detection, solid sample detection, gas sample detection, and industrial detection from the perspectives of the sample state and detection environment.

Hydrodynamic radius () is a descriptive metric of protein structure with the potential to impact drug development, disease diagnosis, and other important research areas of molecular biology. Common instrumental methods for molecular size characterization are disadvantageous due to high sample consumption, measurements made in non-physiological conditions, and/or inaccurate size determinations. Capillary Taylor dispersion analysis (TDA) is a molecular sizing method that utilizes nL sample volumes and achieves absolute size determination without calibration or comparison to standards.
