The existence of fluorescent impurities has been a long-standing obstacle in single-molecule imaging, which results in sample misidentification and higher localization uncertainty. Spectroscopic single-molecule localization microscopy can record the full fluorescent spectrum of every stochastic single-molecule emission event. This capability allows us to quantify the spatial and spectral characteristics of fluorescent impurities introduced by sample preparation steps, based on which we developed a method to effectively separate fluorescent impurities from target molecules.

The real-time measurement of the content of impurities such as iron and aluminium ions is one of the keys to quality evaluation in the production process of high-purity lithium carbonate; however, impurity detection has been a time-consuming process for many years, which limits the optimisation of the production of high-purity lithium carbonate. In this context, this work explores the possibility of using water-soluble fluorescent probes for the rapid detection of impurity ions. Salicylaldehyde was modified with the hydrophilic group dl-alanine to synthesise a water-soluble Al fluorescent probe (Probe A).

Post translational modifications (PTMs) of proteins play an integral role in maintaining the overall structure and function of proteins including their proper folding, binding, and potency. However, not all PTMs play a positive role in protein drugs as some can lead to product-related impurities that negatively impact protein function. One example of a PTM is trisulfide formation, which appears as a product related species in multiple biologic drug products.

H NMR, C NMR, ESI-HRMS, IR, element analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy and fluorescence spectroscopy were performed to comprehensively characterize their chemical structures, spectral properties and stability. Nitrosamine impurities were not detected in 3a-3d, and the systemic toxicological assessment indicated that the toxicity of 3a-3d was lower.

This paper presents progress made toward the overarching goal to adapt single-photon-counting microcalorimeters to magnetic fusion energy research and demonstrate the value of such measurements for fusion. Microcalorimeter spectrometers combine the best characteristics of x-ray instrumentation currently available on fusion devices: high spectral resolution similar to an x-ray crystal spectrometer and broad spectral coverage sufficient to measure impurity species from Be to W. As a proof-of-principle experiment, a NASA-built x-ray microcalorimeter spectrometer has been installed on the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) at the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory.
