Published: October 1990

In this work, we investigated the effects of pre-columns and press-fit connectors on automated cold on-column injection capillary gas chromatography. Verapamil, a calcium channel blocking vasodilator used in the treatment of angina, arrhythmias and hypertension, and norverapamil, an active metabolite, were used as model compounds in these investigations. Wide-bore fused-silica tubing deactivated with OV-1701-vinyl was also studied with respect to its suitability as pre-column material. The detector response of verapamil versus an internal standard was consistent at micrograms/ml and ng/ml levels, while that of norverapamil decreased with the amount injected. However, the decrease in response of norverapamil appeared to be unrelated to the presence of a pre-column or press-fit connector in the chromatographic system.

Free fatty acids (FFAs) are important energy sources and significant for energy transport in the body. They also play a crucial role in cellular oxidative stress responses, following cell membrane depolarization, making accurate quantification of FFAs essential. This study presents a novel supercritical fluid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SFC-MS) method using selected ion recording in negative electrospray ionization mode, enabling rapid quantification of 31 FFAs within 6 min without derivatization.

Odor-active compounds are major quality parameters in food and other consumer products. In the analysis of odorants, gas chromatography (GC) plays a dominant role and is particularly indispensable for odorant screening by GC-olfactometry (GC-O). Whereas artifact formation during workup before GC analysis has been widely discussed, artifact formation during GC injection has not been adequately addressed so far.

Unveiling trends in migration of iron-based nanoparticles in saturated porous media.

Article Synopsis
  • Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is commonly used for environmental cleanup, but understanding its movement in various conditions is challenging, limiting its effectiveness.
  • This study presents a new method to predict how nZVI moves in a saturated porous environment using advanced devices that measure magnetic properties, along with numerical modeling.
  • The findings indicate that nZVI's mobility is influenced by its surface charge, with negatively charged particles moving more effectively, and suggest that slight sulfidation and organic modifications can improve nZVI's distribution in groundwater.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method was developed to quantify enantiomeric barbiturates in serum by combining ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (UA-DLLME) with large-volume sample stacking (LVSS) in capillary electrophoresis (CE) for improved sensitivity.
  • The process involves optimizing various parameters such as sample preparation at pH 10.0 and using specific buffers to achieve high enrichment efficiencies, ultimately enhancing detection limits to 0.1 ng/mL.
  • The method demonstrated excellent performance with good linearity and low variability in migration times and peak areas, and it was successfully applied to analyze human serum samples.

Aiming at the problem of luminance uniformity for injection electroluminescent display panels, we present a new sample compensation method based on column-control according to successive scans theory. On the basis of our ideas, a small part of pixels of each column are selected as samples, and the column gating time calculated by sample average luminance value of corresponding column is written in hardware program. We adopt the 64 × 32 LEDs display panel as an example to expound the compensation method and obtain good result that the reduction in amplitude of luminance non-uniformity is 65.
