This paper describes tetracycline (TCH), oxytetracycline (OTCH) and chlortetracycline (CTCH) determination by flow injection potentiometry. In the flow system proposed TC samples are inserted in a carrier solution and converged with a Cu(II) solution of known concentration; the Cu(II) decrease due to its complexation with tetracyclines (TC) was monitored. The detector used was a homogeneous crystalline CuS/Ag2S double membrane tubular electrode with increased sensitivity. The present system allows tetracyclines determinations within a 48.1-4.8 x 10(3) ppm for TCH, 49.1-4.9 x 10(3) ppm for OTCH and 51.5-5.1 x 10(3) ppm for CTCH and a precision better than 0.4% for the three TC species. This procedure accomplishes 150-200 samples h(-1) with a Cu(II) consumption of about 13 microg determination(-1).

Cordycepin, known for its tumor-suppressive and antiviral properties, has garnered attention due to its therapeutic and biological potential. Current Cordyceps militaris - based cordycepin production methods involve time-consuming and cost-intensive solid-state fermentation. Using an internet of things (IoT) architecture, we developed an active air-feed regulation fermentation system (AAFRFS) to detect CO2 emitted during C.

Primary and secondary alkyl iodides and primary alkyl bromides were quickly and conveniently converted into their corresponding alkyl chlorides via S2 halide-halide substitution. The resultant alkyl chlorides simultaneously demonstrated increased volatility and stability paired with standard headspace GC-FID methodology. The derivatization was performed on both standard and sample alike and occurred during the headspace oven equilibration phase, eliminating the extra reaction step traditionally performed during many derivatization analyses.

Tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) are extensively used as broad-spectrum antimicrobials. However, their excessive use and misuse have led to serious accumulation in foods and environments, posing a significant threat to human health. To solve such public issue, we have designed a novel dual-mode detection method, integrating colorimetric sensing with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, for sensitive and rapid evaluation on TCs.

A sustainable approach of farming involves using desi-cow waste products helps to improve soil biology. Jeevamrit, a traditional biofertilizer, enhances soil health and organic carbon and also reduces the need for farmyard manure, hence minimizing carbon footprint and supports eco-friendly agriculture. The present study investigated the effectiveness of Jeevamrit compared to chemical fertilizers and growth regulators for maintaining a healthy mother block of marigold.
