One of the main drawbacks, however, for making microfluidic based separations more commercially viable is the non-specific adsorption of biomolecules at the channel walls during separations. Herein, we compare five commonly employed surface coatings, and evaluate their performance in terms of successful silanization of channel surface walls, long term stability, and antifouling performance, using BSA or IgG as model proteins. We compare adsorption of fluorescently-tagged proteins on glass slides with those confined within channels, showing similar behavior with static measurements, but differences when incorporating electrokinetic flow. Based on these data, we find that MPEG is an effective surface coating for applications where long term stability is critical. However, for separation experiments, where the channel is used shortly after coating, a silanized zwitterionic sultone has superior anti-fouling characteristics.","PeriodicalId":14865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of analytical and bioanalytical techniques","volume":"55 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82450313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both, 1a and 1b, showed free radical scavenging activity, which was quantified by the DPPH free radical scavenging activity assay. 1b crystallized in a P21/c space group. In 1b each molecule contains two CuII-(hidroxibenzyliden) groups bonded in the extremes of the organic DAB-Am nucleus. The CuII-(hidroxibenzyliden) groups of each extreme, form 1D chains along of the b-axis. IR and UV-Vis spectra showed d-d transitions and νCu-O, νCu-N vibrations respectively, confirming the formation of the compound. 1H-NMR spectra of 1a and 1b showed similar spectra, being characteristics of paramagnetic compounds. Bulk magnetization of 1a and 1b from 2 K to 300 K showed paramagnetic behaviour. The best fit for the susceptibility data was obtained using Curie-Weiss and modified Curie-Weiss equations with θ and C values of θ1a/1b C-W = 0 ± 1K, C1a/1b C-W = 0.82/0.66 cm3 K mol-1, and θ1a/1b modified C-W = 0.6 ± 1K and C1a/1b modified C-W = 0.80/0.70 cm3 K mol-1. The X-band ESR spectra of 1a and 1b in solid samples showed a single and a rhombic signals, respectively, with g values around 2.1 at 77 K and 300 K, however, in CH2Cl2 solutions at 77 K the spectra were similar. The spectroscopic and magnetic results allowed us to conclude that 1a and 1b are two different crystalline phases which were proven to act as effective antioxidants showing both an IC50 = 16.5 μM, in contrast with Trolox, IC50 = 39.3 μM, normally used as a vitamin E analog and a strong antioxidant. Additionaly the DPPH free radical is scavened by reduction mechanism of CuII to CuI. The overall electronic, magnetic and structural information about 1a and 1b provide us some characteristics of this kind of transitional metal ionic coordination compounds.","PeriodicalId":14865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of analytical and bioanalytical techniques","volume":"471 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75075982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The extraction equilibrium was established in 30 min for [MIm+][D2EHP-] and in 15 min for [BIm+][D2EHP-]. The maximum mercury extraction was obtained at pH 5.81. For the extraction of mercury, [([MIm+] [D2EHP-])5 (HgCl2)]org, [([MIm+][D2EHP-])5 (HgClOH)]org, [([BIm+][D2EHP-])3/2 (HgCl2)]org and [([BIm+][D2EHP-])3/2 (HgClOH)]org species were formed. Regarding the ionic strength for [MIm+][D2EHP-], the results show a significant improvement of the mercury extraction yield (100%) upon the addition of sodium acetate to the aqueous phase in a Na+/Hg2+ mass ratio ranging from 0.1 to 2.0. The relationship between the percentages of the extracted species and the extraction yield was established by calculations using CHEAQS V. L20.1 software. The results revealed a decrease in the extraction yield of Hg (II) with decreasing proportions of HgCl2aq from 65.15 to 40.31% and of HgClOHaq from 31.31 to 0.1%, when NaCl was added.

To perform this research work polar molecule niacin is considered as a model drug to evaluate the synergistic approach. Plasma was treated with three different conventional sample preparation procedures (PPT, LLE and SPE) and samples processed with the three methodology were then analyzed on three different instrument models of AB Sciex i.e., API-3000, API-3200, API-4000. Except for type of sample processing technique and instrument model, rest of the parameters like aliquot volume, internal standard working solution volume and chromatographic conditions were kept constant to avoid contribution of these factors due to these variables. Samples were analyzed using Inertsil® CN-3 as an analytical column and mobile phase consist of acetonitrile - solution-1(0.002% formic acid in water, v/v) in the ratio of 70:30, v/v. Result evidently showed that matrix effect was minimized through SPE technique over LLE technique and behavior of the co-elute matrix also changed significantly with ion-source design of the mass spectrometer. Consequently, the development result clearly showed that matrix effect was nullified by samples prepared by SPE technique and analyzed on API-3000. Results obtained from API- 3000 and API-4000 models were also comparable in terms of matrix effect. API-3000 in combination with solid phase extraction procedure was selected to further validate the method as API-4000 showed charge competition of internal standard. Overall, the results indicate that extraction procedure plays a crucial role to control matrix effect but to get the best result LC have to be coupled with mass spectrometer with proper ion source.","PeriodicalId":14865,"journal":{"name":"Journal of analytical and bioanalytical techniques","volume":"70 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79972181","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It can arrive at any stage during the course of the illness. In 15% to 20% of patients, conventional analgesic therapy either fails to relieve pain or induces adverse effects. Use of analgesic admixture has been recommended by the most recent consensus conferences. Several studies found evidence of synergistic effects of intrathecal analgesic admixtures, most notably these containing ziconotide, morphine and ropivacaine, administering by a fully implantable pumps. The refills were prepared under a laminar airflow hood under strictly aseptic conditions, by the hospital pharmacist. This group of drugs that commonly used can be at the origin of errors inducing adverse effects in patients. In order to evaluate the accuracy of compounding of intrathecal admixtures, a new analytical method by simple liquid chromatographyultraviolet spectrometry method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of three analgesic drugs (morphine, ropivacaine and ziconotide). The method was validated according to the recommendation of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The method was linear, between 0.1 to 4 μg/ml for ziconotide, 0.1 to 10 mg/ ml for ropivacaine and 0.1 to 32 mg/ml for morphine. Forced degradation of ziconotide by acidic conditions allowed formation and detection of degradation products by the analytical method. This method can be considered as a stability indicating method.
