Determination of nitroimidazole antibiotics based on dispersive solid-phase extraction combined with capillary electrophoresis

For a long time, the detection of nitroimidazole antibiotics (NIABs) has been a research focus in environmental analytical chemistry. In this work, a novel technique for the analysis of nitroimidazoles was established based on capillary electrophoresis (CE). UiO-66, synthesized using a solvothermal method, was utilized as an adsorbent in the dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) of five different NIABs. The separation and detection of NIABs in environmental water samples were accomplished using the CE diode array detection method. The optimal extraction conditions were obtained after systematically studying the effects of adsorption time, the amount of extractant, and elution solvent on extraction efficiency. According to the results of the study, the limit of detections of the five NIABs were between 16 and 97 ng/mL, the relative standard deviations were between 0.32% and 0.55%, and the spike recoveries were between 87.43% and 104.8%. This study presents a novel technique for measuring NIABs in complex water samples.

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Emission Spectra of Lanthanum(III) Coordination Polymer with 1,5‐Naphthalenedisulfonate Ligand

The first two‐dimensional lanthanum(III) coordination polymer, [La(1,5‐NDS)_1.5(H₂O)₅]_n (1) (1,5‐NDS^2? = 1,5‐naphthalenedisulfonate), was synthesized and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis. The disulfonate ligands act in the η¹:η¹:μ₂ and η¹:η¹:η¹:μ₃ binding modes to link the LaO₉ tricapped trigonal prisms into a lamellar structure. It exhibits strong purple emission in the solid state.     

EFFECT OF THE PHASE STRUCTURE EVOLUTION ON THE PROPERTIES OF FILMS FORMED FROM PBA/P(St-co-MMA) COMPOSITE LATEX

A group of heterogeneous latexes poly(butyl acrylate)/poly(styrene-co-methyl methacrylate)(PBA/P(St-co-MMA)) were prepared by a semi-continuous seeded emulsion polymerization process under monomer starved conditions.The glass transition temperature(T_g)and the mechanical properties of the film formed from the composite latex changed with the evolution of the particle morphology.A photon transmission method was used to monitor the phase structure evolution of films which were prepared from core-shell PBA/...     

Stationary phase retention and preliminary application of a spiral disk assembly designed for high-speed counter-current chromatography

A spiral disk assembly composed of five single-channel units was designed for high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The retention of different solvent systems ranging from moderately polar to polar organic-aqueous systems to aqueous two-phase systems (ATPs) was investigated under different elution modes. The results indicated that the spiral disk assembly can produce excellent retention of stationary phase for moderately polar organic-aqueous solvent systems, such as chloroform-methanol-water (4:3:2) and hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (1:1:1:1) by pumping lower mobile phase from head (H) to tail (T), and upper mobile phase from tail (T) to head (H) even at a high flow-rate (8 mL/min, Sf>70%), regardless of whether the inlet is at the inner or outer terminal of the channel. This makes it possible for fast analysis of some small molecular compounds. This has been proved in the separation of mixtures of three flavones, including isorhamnetin, kaempferol, and quercetin. The spiral disk assembly can also provide satisfactory retention for polar to ATPS such as 1-butanol-acetic acid-water (4:1:5) (<3 mL/min, Sf>70%), 12.5% poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) 1000-12.5% K2HPO4-75% water (< or =1 mL/min, Sf>70%) and 4% PEG 8000-5% Dextran T500-91% water (< or =0.5 mL/min, Sf>50%) by pumping lower mobile phase from inner terminal (I) to outer terminal (O), and upper mobile phase from outer terminal (O) to inner terminal (I) at a low flow-rate, while this is not possible with the multilayer coil column. Acceptable resolutions were achieved when it was used for the separation of peptides such as Leu-Tyr and Val-Tyr, and proteins including cytochrome c and myoglobin, lysozyme and myoglobin, and fresh chicken egg-white proteins.     

On-wire lithography-generated molecule-based transport junctions: a new testbed for molecular electronics

On-wire lithography (OWL) fabricated nanogaps are used as a new testbed to construct molecular transport junctions (MTJs) through the assembly of thiolated molecular wires across a nanogap formed between two Au electrodes. In addition, we show that one can use OWL to rapidly characterize a MTJ and optimize gap size for two molecular wires of different dimensions. Finally, we have used this new testbed to identify unusual temperature-dependent transport mechanisms for alpha,omega-dithiol terminated oligo(phenylene ethynylene).     

A one-step highly sensitive method for DNA detection using dynamic light scattering

A one-step homogeneous DNA detection method with high sensitivity was developed using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coupled with dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurement. Citrate-protected AuNPs with a diameter of 30 nm were first functionalized with two sets of single-stranded DNA probes and then used as optical probes for DNA detection. In the presence of target DNA, the hybridization between target DNA and the two nanoparticle probes caused the formation of nanoparticle dimers, trimers, and oligomers. As a result, the nanoparticle aggregation increased the average diameter of the whole nanoparticle population, which can be monitored simply by DLS measurement. A quantitative correlation can be established between the average diameter of the nanoparticles and the target DNA concentration. This DLS-based assay is extremely easy to conduct and requires no additional separation and amplification steps. The detection limit is around 1 pM, which is 4 orders of magnitude better than that of light-absorption-based methods. Single base pair mismatched DNAs can be readily discriminated from perfectly matched target DNAs using this assay.     

LC–MS Determination and Pharmacokinetic Study of Salidroside in Rat Plasma after Oral Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicinal Preparation Rhodiola crenulata Extract

A simple, rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) method was developed for the quantification of salidroside in rat plasma and the study of its pharmacokinetics after oral administration of 15 g kg^?1 Rhodiola crenulata extract to Wistar rats. A 200 μL plasma sample was extracted by acetonitrile and performed on Kromasil C₁₈ column (150 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with the mobile phase of acetonitrile–water (11:89) within a run time of 8 min. The analyte was monitored with electrospray ionization (ESI) by selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. The target ions were m/z 299.20 for salidroside and m/z 150.00 for internal standard (IS) paracetamol. A good linear relationship was obtained over the range of 100–20,000 ng mL^?1 and the lower limit of quantification was 100 ng mL^?1. The validated method was successfully applied for the pharmacokinetic study of salidroside in rat. After oral administration of Rhodiola crenulata extract, the main pharmacokinetic parameters T _max, T _1/2, C _max, AUC _0?t and AUC _0?∞ were 0.56 ± 0.21 h, 7.91 ± 4.42 h, 3,386 ± 2,138 ng mL^?1, 16,146 ± 6,558 ng h mL^?1 and 18,599 ± 6,529 ng h mL^?1, respectively.
