Purity assessment for avoparcin

Well-characterized pure-substance reference materials for the use as calibrants are essential to establish the metrological traceability of the results of chemical measurements. Normally, the characterization of this type of reference material is conducted through a thorough purity assessment of the compound concerned. For this reason, studies on purity assessment, especially for neat organic compounds, continues as an important part of work being undertaken by metrological institutions around the world. Among others, the need for certified pure reference standards continues to increase for residues analysis in foods, particularly for those compounds which have been banned for food safety reasons, but their residues in foods are still monitored under food surveillance program in many countries. In this respect, avoparcin serves as a very good example where testing laboratories have difficulties in obtaining traceable and comparable results on determination of avoparcin in food matrix samples due, in part, to the unavailability of certified pure-substance reference material as calibrant. In this study, it was attempted to assess the purity of a commercially available test material of avoparcin using the mass balance approach. The objective of this paper is to share the difficulties encountered during the course of purity assessment and how they were addressed. As expected, the most challenging part of work was to identify and estimate the amount of unknown impurities, both organic and inorganic-related ones, given the chemical structure and properties of avoparcin. For instance, avoparcin exists in two forms in the test material, i.e., α- and β-avoparcin, and they were found to be susceptible to hydrolysis under certain conditions.

A Rapid and Efficient Way to Dynamic Creation of Cross‐Reactive Sensor Arrays Based on Ionic Liquids

Based on the simple counterion exchange of ionic liquids, a rapid, facile, and efficient strategy to create a cross‐reactive sensor array with a dynamic tunable feature was developed, and exemplified by the construction of a sensor array for the identification and classification of nitroaromatics and explosives mimics. To achieve a good sensing system with fast response, good sensitivity, and low detection limit, the synthesized ionic liquid receptors were tethered onto a silica matrix with a macro‐mesoporous hierarchical structure. Through the facile anion exchange approach, abundant ionic‐liquid‐based individual receptors with diversiform properties, such as different micro‐environments, diverse molecular interactions, and distinctive physico‐chemical properties, were easily and quickly synthesized to generate a distinct fingerprint of explosives for pattern recognition. The reversible anion exchange ability further endowed the sensor array with a dynamic tunable feature as well as good controllability and practicality for real‐world application. With the assistance of statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and linear discrimination analysis (LDA), an optimized‐size array with a good resolution was rationally established from a large number of IL‐based receptors. The performed experiments suggested that the ionic‐liquid‐based sensing protocol is a general and powerful strategy for creating a cross‐reactive sensor array that could find a wide range of applications for sensing various analytes or complex mixtures.     

Bioconjugation of Proteins with a Paramagnetic NMR and Fluorescent Tag

Site‐specific labeling of proteins with lanthanide ions offers great opportunities for investigating the structure, function, and dynamics of proteins by virtue of the unique properties of lanthanides. Lanthanide‐tagged proteins can be studied by NMR, X‐ray, fluorescence, and EPR spectroscopy. However, the rigidity of a lanthanide tag in labeling of proteins plays a key role in the determination of protein structures and interactions. Pseudocontact shift (PCS) and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) are valuable long‐range structure restraints in structural‐biology NMR spectroscopy. Generation of these paramagnetic restraints generally relies on site‐specific tagging of the target proteins with paramagnetic species. To avoid nonspecific interaction between the target protein and paramagnetic tag and achieve reliable paramagnetic effects, the rigidity, stability, and size of lanthanide tag is highly important in paramagnetic labeling of proteins. Here 4′‐mercapto‐2,2′: 6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐6,6′′‐dicarboxylic acid (4MTDA) is introduced as a a rigid paramagnetic and fluorescent tag which can be site‐specifically attached to a protein by formation of a disulfide bond. 4MTDA can be readily immobilized by coordination of the protein side chain to the lanthanide ion. Large PCSs and RDCs were observed for 4MTDA‐tagged proteins in complexes with paramagnetic lanthanide ions. At an excitation wavelength of 340 nm, the complex formed by protein–4MTDA and Tb³⁺ produces high fluorescence with the main emission at 545 nm. These interesting features of 4MTDA make it a very promising tag that can be exploited in NMR, fluorescence, and EPR spectroscopic studies on protein structure, interaction, and dynamics.     

VAPOR PRESSURES OF FRAGRANCE COMPOUNDS DURING CONTROLLED EVAPORATION

The content of each of the three components in the vapor phase from a phenethyl alcohol, - limonene - decane solution was determined from the composition of the condensed phase during controlled evaporation with turbulent gas flow, with complete removal of the vapor phase once per second and the values compared to those from vapor pressures determined at equilibrium.

The results showed the vapor composition during rapid removal of the vapor to be surprisingly similar to the equilibrium values.

Large-area periodic lead halide perovskite nanostructures for lenticular printing laser displays

Lenticular printing technique provides a promising way to realize stereoscopic displays,especially,when microscopic optical structures are integrated into light-emitting materials/devices.Here,we fabricated large-area periodic structures with a spatial resolution at a wavelength scale from hybrid perovskite materials via a space-confined solution growth method.It takes advantages of both high refractive index contrast and high luminescence brightness,which allows the optical modulation on not only the reflection of illumination,but also the light emission from hybrid perovskites.The distributed feedback within these periodic structures significantly improves the degree of polarization and directionality of laser actions while their threshold is also reduced.These findings enable us to present a prototype of lenticular printing laser displays that vary emission colors at different view angles,which may find applications in creating high-resolution and high-contrast holographical images.
