We evaluated the efficiency of continuous solvent extraction with ether for the analysis of organic acids by gas chromatography using a representative group of organic acids and urine from several normal children. Variables examined were the time of extraction, volume of sample, and the quantity and chemical class of acid present. In terms of the decreased time required and invariant extraction of acids of pathologic significnace continuous solvent extraction compares favorably with the more time consuming albeit less discriminatory ion-exchange procedure. Continuous solvent extraction appears especially well suited for analysis of short chain aliphatic acids by gas chromatography.

Continuous Production of Docetaxel-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Using a Coaxial Turbulent Jet Mixer with Heating System.

Molecules

January 2025

Department of Electronic Materials, Devices, and Equipment Engineering, Soonchunhyang University, 22 Soonchunhyang-ro, Shinchang-myeon, Asan-si 31538, Chungcheongnam-do, Republic of Korea.

The continuous synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) has been actively studied due to its great potential to produce NPs with reproducible and controllable physicochemical properties. Here, we achieved the high throughput production of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) using a coaxial turbulent jet mixer with an added heating system. This device, designed for the crossflow of precursor solution and non-solvent, combined with the heating system, efficiently dissolves solid lipids and surfactants.

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as versatile, sustainable media for the synthesis of nanomaterials due to their low toxicity, tunability, and biocompatibility. This study develops a one-step method to modify commercially available screen-printed electrodes (SPE) using laser-induced pyrolysis of DES, consisting of choline chloride and tartaric acid with dissolved nickel acetate and dispersed graphene. The electrodes were patterned using a 532 nm continuous-wave laser for the in situ formation of Ni nanoparticles decorated on graphene sheets directly on the SPE surface (Ni-G/SPE).
