Determination of 15 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in lotus root by QuEChERS-high performance liquid chromatographyEI北大核心CSCD

A method for the determination of 15 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbonsPAHsin lotus root by QuEChERS technique combined with high performance liquid chromatography HPLC was established. Lotus root samples were extracted by acetonitrilefiltrated after salting out and purified by C18 and primary secondary aminePSAsorbent. Then the 15 kinds of PAHs were analyzed by HPLC with diode array detector or fluorescence detector after being separated by Athena PAHs column. When the 15 kinds of PAHs were analyzed by diode array detectorthe linear relationships were good between 0.02 and 1.0 mg/L with the correlation coefficients above 0.99 for all the 15 kinds of PAHs. The limits of quantitation were 0.02 mg/kg for allthe average recoveries of the 15 kinds of PAHs were 84.7%-117.1%and the relative standard deviations were 0.73%-11%. When the 14 kinds of PAHsexcept for acenaphthyleneanalyzed by fluorescence detectorthe linear relationships were good between 0.001 and 1.0 mg/L with the correlation coefficients above 0.99 for all the 14 kinds of PAHs except for acenaphthylene. The limits of quantitation were 5 μµg/kg for allthe average recoveries of the 14 kinds of PAHsexcept for acenaphthylenewere 69.1%-111.8%and the relative standard deviations were 0.18%-9.7%. Diode array detector and fluorescence detector are complementary. Diode array detector can analyze all the PAHsbut its sensitivity is relatively low. Fluorescence detector is not suitable for acenaphthylene with weak fluorescence signalbut its sensitivity is much higher than that of diode array detector. This method is suitable for simultaneously and quickly determination of 15 kinds of PAHs in lotus root. © 2022, Youke Publishing Co.,Ltd. All rights reserved.     

Composition determination of binary polymer mixtures by size exclusion chromatography with light scattering detection

<正>Base on the principle of absolute quantification of size exclusion chromatography(SEC),a light scattering(LS) detector coupled with a concentration detector(refractive index detector) is utilized to determine the compositions of complicated binary mixtures.A theoretical analysis predicts that the response factors for both LS and RI detectors are linear functions with the composition of any specified polymer mixtures in the binary polymer mixtures.Two pairs of complicated binary mixtures were used to test the theory mentioned in the present paper,and the experimental results show an excellent accordance with the theory.     

Analysis of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables by matrix solid phase dispersion (MSPD) and different gas chromatography element-selective detectors

Summary A comparison between different element selective detectors for the determination of organophosphorus and organochlorine pesticide residues, from fruit and vegetables, was performed by capillary GC with electron capture detector (ECD), nitrogen phosphorus detector (NPD), flame photometric detector (FPD) in the sulphur and phosphorus modes, and mass spectrometry detector (MSD) in selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Pesticides were extracted from the different foodstuffs by Matrix Solid Phase Dispersion (MSPD). Recoveries of 41–108 % with relative standard deviation of 2–14 % in the concentration range 0.5–10 μg L⁻¹ were obtained in oranges, lemons, grapefruit, pears, plums, lettuces and tomatoes. The results demonstrated that the extracts of all the samples can be analyzed by the detectors used since no interfering co-extracted compounds were detected.     

A Study on Microwave Induced Plasma Ionization Detector for Gas Chromatograph

Among various ionization detectors for gas chromatography(GC), the most promising one is perhaps the nonradioactive ionization detector which makes use of a microwave induced plasma(MIP). The use of MIP for gas chromatography was first studied by McCormack, et al. in 1965, Freeman developed a photoionization detector utilizing helium microwave discharge. In 1971, we developed a microwave     

气相色谱分析中是否一定要用质谱检测器？

The detector, as well as being an essential supporting device for the gas chromatography (GC) has also played a critical role in the development of the technique as a whole. The mass spectrometer (MS) is still the commonly praised detector as before. In fact, the information of fragmentation patterns is seldom used in practice, and the GC-MS instrument is even more expensive. For today’s analytical problems, it seems that element specific detectors can and should be used for many applications rather than GC-MS.     

Dispersion measurements on conventional and miniaturised HPLC systems

Summary The volume dispersion produced by a number of commercial detector/injector (DI) system and of laboratory designed detector/injector systems has been measured by three different techniques: (A) by direct connection of injector to detector using a "zero-length" column; (B) by measuring the plate number N as a function of capacity ratio, k′; (C) by placing a 2m × 100μm bore straight open tube between injector and detector, and subtracting the contribution from the tube according to the Taylor-Aris equation. Setting as a criterion of adequate performance that there should be less than a 10% loss in plate efficiency due to the DI system for an unretained solute peak, it is found that in general the commercial systems examined show excessive dispersion in relation to the types of column for which they are claimed to have been designed. A 1μl flow cell designed in our laboratories offers a standard deviation below 1μl and is a possible candidate for use with miniaturised systems. However, extreme precautions to avoid extra-column dispersion must be taken. The column must enter into the detector cell and injection must be by flow splitter. It is considered unlikely that current HPLC technology can be adapted for use with high efficiency columns of bore below 2mm.

Impulse-response functions of several detectors used in flow-injection analysis

A procedure for the determination of the impulse-response function of a detector is given. Its application to photometers, ion-sensitive field effect transistors, a potentiometric detector at constant current and a voltammetric detector shows that the impulse-response function can be used to obtain specific information about the performance of the detector in the manifold. This function clearly shows the contribution of the detector to the peak broadening and how the detector generates the final signal from the presented concentration profile. From this information one could derive improvements to the detector, such as changing the construction of the detector cell, minimizing the influence of other parts of the manifold or adapting the attached electronics.     

A novel ion detector aiming at the homogeneous of drift gas

In standalone ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) instruments, the effect of drift gas turbulence reduces the sensitivity and resolution of the instrument. A traditional ion detector constructed with a Faraday plate and used to detect ions in an IMS is positioned at the end of the drift region. Drift gas flowing through this detector may introduce turbulence near the detector, possibly affecting the sensitivity and resolution of the device. To address this problem, a novel Faraday detector with a double layer structure was constructed. A number of dense and staggered holes were created on each layer of the detector. This design enabled the drift gas to pass through the holes of the detector, and the staggered nature of holes in the detector ensured that the ions could be detected. Theoretical simulations were conducted using the finite element method to obtain velocity distributions for both a standard Faraday detector and the modified Faraday detector. The results indicated that the novel ion detector created a homogenous gas under at high inlet flow rate while turbulence was still evident for the traditional Faraday detector. When the inlet flow rate was 1000 mL/min, the range of the unstable region of the drift gas in the axis of the drift tube with the novel ion detector was reduced by 97% relative to that for the traditional detector. The data suggests that due to such gains, sensitivity and resolution may be improved for standalone IMS instruments.

Comparison of different detectors for amino acid analysis

Summary Three different detectors for gas chromatography are compared in respect to sensitivity and selectivity: the flame-ionization detector, the nitrogen-selective alkali-flame ionization detector and the electron-capture detector. Their suitability for amino acid analysis is discussed, especially concerning sensitivity and linearity of detection. The nitrogen-selective detector proved to be most suitable both in respect to sensitivity and selectivity. The detection limit is in the range of less than 1 pg using the nitrogen-selective detector, about 1 – 2 pg with the electron-capture detector and about 5 –15 pg using the flame-ionization detector.

Electrochemical detector based on sol-gel-derived carbon composite material for capillary electrophoresis microchips

An on-chip disk electrode based on sol-gel-derived carbon composite material could be easily and reproducibly fabricated. Unlike other carbon-based electrodes reported previously, this detector is rigid, convenient to fabricate, and amenable to chemical modifications. Based on the stable and reproducible characters of this detector, a copper particle-modified detector was developed for the detection of carbohydrates which extends the application of the carbon-based electrode. In our experiments, the performance of the new integrated detector for rapid on-chip measurement of epinephrine and glucose was illustrated. Experimental procedures including the fabrication of this detector, the configuration of separation channel outlet and electrode verge, and the performance characteristics of this new electrochemical detector were investigated.     

Compton suppression system at Penn State Radiation Science and Engineering Center

A Compton suppression system is used to reduce the contribution of scattered gamma-rays that originate within the HPGe detector to the gamma-ray spectrum. The HPGe detector is surrounded by an assembly of guard detectors, usually NaI(T1). The HPGe and NaI(T1) detectors are operated in anti-coincidence mode. The NaI(T1) guard detector detects the photons that Compton scatter within, and subsequently escape from the HPGe detector. Since these photons are correlated with the partial energy deposition within the detector, much of the resulting Compton continuum can be subtracted from the spectrum reducing the unwanted background in gamma-ray spectra. A commercially available Compton suppression spectrometer (CSS) was purchased from Canberra Industries and tested at the Radiation Science and Engineering Center at Penn State University. The PSU-CSS includes a reverse bias HPGe detector, four annulus NaI(T1) detectors, a NaI(T1) plug detector, detector shields, data acquisition electronics, and a data processing computer. The HPGe detector is n-type with 54% relative efficiency. The guard detectors form an annulus with 9-inch diameter and 9-inch height, and have a plug detector that goes into/out of the annulus with the help of a special lift apparatus to raise/lower. The detector assembly is placed in a shielding cave. State-of-the-art electronics and software are used. The system was tested using standard sources, neutron activated NIST SRM sample and Dendrochronologically Dated Tree Ring samples. The PSU-CSS dramatically improved the peak-to-Compton ratio, up to 1000:1 for the ¹³⁷Cs source.     

Effects of contamination on ion mobility detection after gas chromatography

The ion mobility detector is a device that can be used for the selective, ultratrace detection of organic compounds after capillary gas chromatography. It is the only gas chromatographic detector which does not require heteroatomic compounds for selective response, yet concern is often expressed over its quantitative capabilities. Being a secondary ionization device, competitive charge transfer reactions from unseparated compounds or detector gas contamination may decrease the accuracy of measurement. This paper investigates the effects of both electronegative and electro-positive contaminants on the detector's response. In general, it was found that contamination of the detector did affect response but no more severely than in conventional detectors such as the electron-capture detector or the flame ionization detector.     

Estimation of the properties of an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer based on a composite double-layer detector

A mathematical model of double-layer Si-Ge and Si-AsGa energy-dispersive detectors of X-rays based on the analysis of processes of radiation and electron transfer in the detector is proposed along with a model of an energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer on the basis of this detector. The probabilities of recording of photons in different sections of the detector response function are calculated using the Monte-Carlo technique. It is shown that, in using an anticoincidence circuit and a Si detector as the first layer and Ge or AsGa detectors as the second layer, a detector with improved characteristics can be obtained, namely, the suppressed loss peaks of Ge or As and Ga and the efficiency of detection at the high radiation energy close to that of the Ge or AsGa detector. This detector in the energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer in some cases allows the reduction of the background level.
