Simultaneous chiral and chemoseparation of R-(+)-rabeprazole and related (enantio)impurities was achieved on a cellulose tris-(3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamate) stationary phase chemically bonded to silica gel (Chiralpak IC). A gradient elution was applied in the reverse-phase separation mode. The mobile phase consisted of a mixture of acetonitrile and aqueous phosphate buffer at pH 7. The other operational parameters were flow rate of 1 mL min−1, column temperature of 35 °C and ultraviolet (UV) detection at 282 nm. Quantification limits for R-(+)-rabeprazole and the related impurities ranged in the interval of 0.02–0.03 %. Linear response intervals of 0.02–0.66 % were obtained with UV detection. Validation of the proposed method was achieved according to current regulations in force. For better understanding of the R-(+)-rabeprazole impurity profile, (+)-EMS/MS and
MS/MS detection were also used.
A radiotracer technique was used to investigate the leaching of an antifouling agent from different marine paint formulations with an objective to select the best paint formulation for bulk production. The antifouling agent (Diuron) itself was labeled with carbon-14 (half-life: 5,730?years, ??-energy: 156?keV) and used as a radiotracer. The different paint formulations added with radiolabeled Diuron were applied onto suitably selected substrates and measured for initial intensity of ??-radiation using a Geiger-Muller detector connected to a ratemeter. The painted substrates were subjected to shower tests for a pre-decided time and subsequently measured for ??-radiations. The comparison of intensity of ??-radiations in substrates prior and post shower tests provides information about leaching of antifouling agent Diuron from the paint formulation. The high leaching percentage of antifouling agent Diuron post shower tests indicates non-suitability of paint formulation for marine and civil structures. However, low leaching rate of Diuron will make a paint formulation more efficient and suitable. Based on the results of investigation, a paint formulation with minimum leaching rate was identified and selected for bulk production by a paint company. 相似文献
The performance evaluation studies of three indigenously manufactured amperometers were carried out for uranium determination in U3O8 standard solution. Three analysts independently carried out ten determinations each of uranium by Biamperometric end point detection method with each of these amperometers. Two-way ANOVA test was performed on the data using MATLAB-7.0 software to test whether the variation in the observed data is statistically significant. No significant bias in the data produced by three analysts with three independent instruments was observed. The results obtained show that the indigenous amperometers are suitable for uranium determination in fuel materials and for nuclear material accounting, with high precision and accuracy. 相似文献
The effect of salt on the associative behavior of intramolecular aggregates obtained from poly(ethylene glycol)-based amphiphilic comb-like polymers in aqueous medium at pH 6.2 has been investigated by surface tension, fluorescence probe, dynamic light-scattering, and viscometry techniques. Results reveal that the addition of salt screens the electrostatic repulsion between the charges along the polymer backbone in the aggregates and consequently (1) reduces the surface activity at the air/water interface, (2) leads to the contraction of the polymer backbone, and (3) reduces the hydrodynamic sizes of the aggregates. In contrast, the hydrophobicity of the aggregates remains unperturbed. 相似文献
ZnSe films were pulse-electrodeposited on conducting glass substrates with and without the addition of phosphotungstic acid.
X-ray diffraction studies indicated the formation of single phase cubic ZnSe. Addition of phosphotungstic acid resulted in
films with nanocrystallites. The band gap of the films was found to increase due to addition of phosphotungstic acid. The
films had a crystallite size of the order of 15nm and a surface roughness of 1.8nm. Laser Raman studies exhibited the LO phonon
peaks of ZnSe. The films were found to possess a slight excess of Se as evident from the energy dispersive X-ray analysis
measurements. 相似文献
Abstract A simple method for the surface grafting of crosslinked polystyrene latex particles of narrow size distribution as core is described. Amino groups were generated on the surface of these microspheres by a two-step process of nitration and subsequent reduction. Polyethylene glycol chain of desired molecular weight was covalently linked to the surface amino group using diiso-cyanate-coupling reaction. The method is appropriate for designing brush polymers. 相似文献
Monothiol-terminated hyperbranched polyglycerols (HPGs) were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization of glycidol from partially deprotonated 2,2'-dihydroxyethane disulfide as the initiator and subsequent reduction of the disulfide group. Two molecular weights of HPG thiols were synthesized. The molecular weights of the polymers were determined by MALDI-TOF analysis, and the presence of thiol was verified by Ellman's assay. The self-assembly of HPG thiols on gold was studied and compared with that of linear poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) thiols utilizing various surface analysis techniques. Monothiol-functionalized HPGs readily adsorbed to a gold surface and formed highly uniform thin films on the surface. The graft density of the HPG layer decreased with an increase in the molecular weight of the polymer. The amount of polymer on the surface increased with increasing incubation concentration and saturated above 6 g/L polymer concentration. Generally, HPG thiols gave lower graft density compared to linear PEG thiols of similar molecular weight. AFM morphological studies showed that HPG thiols form more uniform and smooth surface films compared to PEG thiols. Incubation of a polymer-coated surface (HPG thiols and PEG thiols) with bovine serum albumin and immunoglobulin showed that the high molecular weight hyperbranched polyglycerol was more resistant to protein adsorption than linear PEG of similar molecular weight or lower molecular weight HPG. The protein adsorption decreased with increasing graft density of the HPG chains on the surface. Our results show that HPG could be a good alternative to PEG in the development of nonfouling functional surfaces. 相似文献
