Enhancing chemical analysis with signal derivatization using simple available software packages

Derivative techniques for analytical signal processing are useful for solving some noise and signal resolution problems in various fields of study such as titrimetry, spectrophotometry, chromatography and electrochemistry. The broad use of these techniques, however, is often limited by costly inflexible built-in software packages in commercial analytical instruments. We propose here the application of commercial simple software packages such as Microsoft® Excel and Microcal Origin for signal smoothing and fitting, and for obtaining derivative analytical signals in batch and flow-based analyses, including potentiometric titration, spectrophotometry, chromatography, voltammetry and sequential injection analysis (SIA). The worldwide (especially Excel) software packages are easy-to-use for less experienced users and have also capabilities for advanced users, and therefore employing such packages can result in expansion of useful derivative techniques. We demonstrate application of the available package-aided derivative capabilities for enhancing some chemical analyses, including potentiometric acid–base titration, Bradford assay of protein, chromatographic separation of ajmaline and reserpine and anodic stripping voltammetry of copper. The derivative signals from smoothed and fitted curves offer better accuracy and precision, even for non-resolving peaks and tailing peaks. In some cases, the optimization of experimental conditions is not further required, which can lead to fast method development.     

Recent advances in the improvement of g-C3N4 based photocatalytic materials

g-C₃N₄ have been widely used in the fields of photocatalytic hydrogen production,photocatalytic degradation of dyes and oxidative degradation of toxic gases due to their excellent performance.It has attracted extensive attention in recent years due to its highly efficient photocatalytic capacity of hydrogen generation,water oxidation,carbon dioxide reduction and degradation of organic pollutants.Because of the abundant carbon and nitrogen composition of the earth,large-scale production and industrial applications of this material are possible.The modification of this material makes its performance more excellent so that this new material can obtain a steady stream of vitality.These outstanding works have become important materials and milestones on the road to mankind's photocatalytic hydrogen production.This review will begin with the basic idea of designing,synthesizing and improving g-C₃N₄ based photocatalytic materials,and introduce the latest development of g-C₃N₄ photocatalysts in hydrogen production from four aspects of controlling the carbon/nitrogen ratio,morphology,element doping and heterojunction structure of g-C₃N₄ materials.     

X射线荧光光谱检测多层薄膜样品的增强效应研究

研究了X射线荧光光谱检测多层薄膜样品的增强效应。根据多层膜中的X荧光强度理论计算公式编写了计算机程序,并计算了Zn/Fe和Fe/Zn双层膜样品中不同薄膜厚度时Fe Kα的一次荧光强度、二次荧光强度、二次荧光与一次荧光强度比以及二次荧光在总荧光强度中比例。研究发现,在多层膜样品的X射线荧光分析中,激发条件不变的情况下,元素谱线的一次荧光相对强度、二次荧光相对强度和二次荧光在总荧光强度中所占比例都随薄膜厚度及位置的变化而变化。当Fe和Zn层厚度相同时,随厚度的变化,对于Fe/Zn样品,Fe Kα二次荧光强度占总荧光强度最高为9％,而对于Zn/Fe样品这一比例最高可达35％。

Fluorescence enhancement of oxide fluoride glass co-doped with TbF3 and SmF3

The fluorescence property of xTbF₃-BaF₂-AlF₃-GeO₂+ySmF₃ (x=0.01-40 mol%, y=0-5 wt%) glasses were investigated. The enhancement of Sm³⁺ fluorescence was recognized in the presence of Tb³⁺. Increasing Tb³⁺ content, the emission color changed from green to orange. When the intensity of fluorescence at 540 nm originated from Tb³⁺ is compared with that at 600 nm originated from Sm³⁺, the information about the concentration quenching of Tb³⁺ and Sm³⁺ was obtained. From these results, rare earth ions were dispersed identically in the glasses. After heating to 673 K or cooling to 77 K, the emission color of 20TbF₃-20BaF₂-10AlF₃-50GeO₂/mol%+0.05 wt% SmF₃ glass was reversibly changed from orange to green. In addition, while the emission from 10TbF₃-20BaF₂-10AlF₃-60GeO₂+0.01 wt% SmF₃ glass was green, its crystallized sample, prepared by annealing at 1073 K, exhibited an orange emission due to Sm³⁺ at room temperature.     

一种用于测定F~-的比色和荧光增强型探针

本文利用F~-诱导Si-O键断裂原理,以亚胺香豆素为荧光母体,成功合成了一种比色和荧光增强型F~-探针。由于探针分子结构的自由度较大,探针分子在乙腈溶液中几乎没有荧光,但随着F~-的加入探针分子经历Si-O键断裂及成环反应,生成具有较大共轭结构的环化产物,其荧光光谱在452nm处呈现出显著的荧光峰(荧光增强46倍),溶液的最大吸收峰由315nm红移至410nm(红移95nm),溶液的颜色由无色变为黄色,适用于裸眼检测F~-。同时,相对于其他阴离子(Cl~-、Br~-、I~-、NO_3~-、HSO_4~-、ClO_4~-、Ac~-、H_2PO_4~-),探针分子表现出对F~-较高的选择性和专一性,为F~-浓度的监测提供了一种高效灵敏的分析方法。

Determination of Nucleic Acids Using Rivanol as the Fluorescent Probe in the Presence of SDS

ABSTRACT

The quantitative method for nucleic acids using rivanol as the fluorescent probe in the presence of SDS was proposed. Under proper conditions, addition of nucleic acids to a mixture of rivanol and SDS resulted in enhanced fluorescence and spectral shifts of rivanol-SDS system. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 0–10.0 μg/ml for CT DNA and 0–9.0 μg/ml for yeast RNA, the limit of detection was 62 ng/ml for CT DNA and 156 ng/ml for yeast RNA. CT DNA could be determined in the presence of 20%(w/w) yeast RNA.
