A new approach for the calibration of SEC-light scattering (SEC-LS) setups is proposed, which requires solely the molar mass of a reference polymer. Neither the specific refractive index increment of the calibrant nor of the analyte is required. Comparison of the molar masses derived in different solvents for a large number of chemically different polymers shows that the new approach yields the same molar masses as if molar masses were derived using dn/dc to calibrate the light scattering setup. The approach therefore allows easier determination of molar masses by SEC-LS.

Cyclic peptides have higher stability and better properties as therapeutic agents than their linear peptide analogues. Consequently, intramolecular click chemistry is becoming an increasingly popular method for the synthesis of cyclic peptides from their isomeric linear peptides. However, assessing the purity of these cyclic peptides by mass spectrometry is a significant challenge, as the linear and cyclic peptides have identical masses.

Background: The infrazygomatic miniscrew implants (IZC-MSI) serve as innovative temporary anchorage devices placed parallel to the roots of molars in the infrazygomatic crest region, leveraging their extra-radicular location to support the en masse distalization and intrusion of the maxillary dentition. The efficacy and stability of these screws are crucial for their application in contemporary orthodontic practices.
Objectives: This systematic review aimed to estimate the success rate and factors affecting the stability of IZC-MSI.

The characterization of industrial working solutions containing numerous structurally related compounds and isomers requires the use of two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC × LC-HRMS). The separation of alkyl-anthraquinone derivatives produced during hydrogen peroxide production was achieved by coupling a biphenyl and a C18 in the first and second dimensions, combined with the use of continuous shifting gradients in the second dimension (D). The use of shifting gradients offers a significant advantage over regular gradients, with a 20% increase in occupancy and better separation of isomers eluted within the same modulation.

Purpose: Suvorexant is an orexin receptor antagonist used in the treatment of insomnia. In this study, we investigated the urinary excretion profiles of suvorexant and its major metabolites, including conjugates, to obtain fundamental information for proving exposure to suvorexant in criminal cases.
Methods: Urine specimens were collected from three subjects for maximum 168 h after a single oral ingestion of suvorexant (10 mg), and suvorexant and its metabolites in urine were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with a C18 semi-micro column.
Photomediated Cationic Ring-Opening Polymerization of Cyclosiloxanes with Temporal Control.

Precision synthesis of polyorganosiloxanes and temporal control over the polymerization process during ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of cyclosiloxanes remain challenging due to the occurrence of side reactions, e.g., intramolecular transfer (backbiting) and intermolecular chain transfer, and irreversible catalyst transformation.
