It has recently been shown that the use of strong organic solvents as diluent is possible in RPLC, provided that the solvent used as diluent is retained more strongly by the column than the analytes in the sample. In this study, the phenomenon was further studied experimentally using several water-immiscible solvents (ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, and methyl isobutyl ketone) and several model analyte compounds. In all cases, analyte peak distortion was minimal provided the analyte eluted earlier than the diluting solvent, in contrast to substantial broadening and distortion when the analyte eluted after the diluting solvent. The potential analytical utility of this approach is discussed, and an example of a practical application is also presented.

Urine, as a non-invasive sampling specimen, offers significant advantages for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. However, as a water-based matrix, most metabolites in urine are high polarity, which limits the ultrafast extraction and high enrichment of these polar metabolites from urine. Though solvent-based extraction method has demonstrated considerable benefits in extraction rates, the necessity for selecting water-immiscible solvents restricts the extraction of highly polar metabolites.

Plant-derived triterpenoids are in high demand due to their valuable applications in cosmetic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries. To meet this demand, microbial production of triterpenoids is being developed for large-scale production. However, a prominent limitation of microbial synthesis is the intracellular accumulation, requiring cell disruption during downstream processing.

As an alternative to conventional plastic dishes, the interface between water-immiscible hydrophobic fluids, such as perfluorocarbons and silicones, permits cell adhesion and growth. Thus, it is expected to replace the petroleum-derived products in a sustainable society. However, most hydrophobic fluids are cytotoxic, which limits the range of mechanical and chemical cues exposed to the cells.

A surfactant's equilibrium spreading pressure (ESP) is the maximum decrease in surface tension achievable at equilibrium below the Krafft point. Difficulties in measuring the ESP have been noted previously but no well-established experimental protocols to overcome them exist. We present a case study of three solid amphiphiles with different propensities to spread on the air-water interface.

Activation of fatty acids as acyl-adenylates by fatty acid-AMP ligase (FAAL) is a well-established process contributing to the formation of various functional natural products. Enzymatic characterization of FAALs is pivotal for unraveling both the catalytic mechanism and its role in specific biosynthetic pathways. In this study, we recombinantly expressed and characterized a novel FAAL derived from marine Pseudoalteromonas citrea (PcFAAL).
