A multi-column system has been developed for automated analysis of basic drugs in urine. Two polymeric pre-columns, containing PRP-1 and Aminex A-28, were used to isolate the drugs. A short reversed-phase column, coupled to a 150 x 4.6 mm I.D. silica column, produced the analytical separation. Sample preparation consisted of dilution and centrifugation. The entire procedure required less than 30 min. Careful optimization of mobile phase conditions led to retention of benzoylecgonine and barbiturates. For most drugs, levels of 0.3 mg/l were sufficient to produce peaks that could be matched against stored spectra with a computerized library search program. 相似文献
The mixed metal complex [Zn(TFA)(3)(μ-OH)Cu(3)(dmae)(3)Br]·THF (1) and its isostructural analogues ([Zn(TFA)(3)(μ-OH)Cu(3)(dmae)(3)Cl]·THF (2) and [Zn(TFA)(3)(μ-OH)Cu(3)(dmae)(3)Cl/Br]·THF (3)) have been prepared by a simple metal ligand assembly method and were characterized by their melting points, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry and single crystal X-ray structures. The compounds are distinguished only by the nature of the halide ions and are made up of the same [Zn(TFA)(3)(μ-OH)Cu(3)(dmae)(3)X]·THF molecular building block with Cu(3)ZnO(4) cubane moieties as the central core in which the four metal ions and four oxygen atoms are joined together in alternate positions of the cuboid. All the complexes crystallize with similar packing and crystallographically related symmetry settings, distinguished mainly by the degree of disorder within the complexes and the ordering of the complexes in the structures. The triclinic cell of (1) emulates the monoclinic cell of (2) and is pseudomerohedrally twinned by a symmetry operation of the monoclinic cell. The molecules in (2) are 1:1 disordered around a crystallographic mirror plane. The structure of the mixed halogen compound (3) in turn is a superstructure of the less symmetric structures of (1) and (2) formed by ordering of the complexes along the longest axis of (3). Aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD) experiments showed that they are promising precursors to deposit thin films of crystalline Cu/ZnO composites. The surface morphology, microstructure, chemical composition and crystallinity of the resulting Cu/ZnO composite thin films were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), which suggest that the films are thin, crystalline, uniform, smooth and tightly adherent to the substrates with average crystallite sizes in a range between 40.2 and 80.0 nm. Particle sizes, shapes and film morphology were investigated as a function of precursor and decomposition temperature. 相似文献
Hyperbolic metamaterials comprised of an array of plasmonic nanorods provide a unique platform for designing optical sensors and integrating nonlinear and active nanophotonic functionalities. In this work, the waveguiding properties and mode structure of planar anisotropic metamaterial waveguides are characterized experimentally and theoretically. While ordinary modes are the typical guided modes of the highly anisotropic waveguides, extraordinary modes, below the effective plasma frequency, exist in a hyperbolic metamaterial slab in the form of bulk plasmon‐polaritons, in analogy to planar‐cavity exciton‐polaritons in semiconductors. They may have very low or negative group velocity with high effective refractive indices (up to 10) and have an unusual cut‐off from the high‐frequency side, providing deep‐subwavelength (λ0/6–λ0/8 waveguide thickness) single‐mode guiding. These properties, dictated by the hyperbolic anisotropy of the metamaterial, may be tuned by altering the geometrical parameters of the nanorod composite.
In this paper, we utilized the instinct peroxidase-like property of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) to establish a new fluorometric method for determination of hydrogen peroxide and glucose. In the presence of Fe3O4 MNPs as peroxidase mimetic catalyst, H2O2 was decomposed into radical that could quench the fluorescence of CdTe QDs more efficiently and rapidly. Then the oxidization of glucose by glucose oxidase was coupled with the fluorescence quenching of CdTe QDs by H2O2 producer with Fe3O4 MNPs catalyst, which can be used to detect glucose. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a linear correlation was established between fluorescence intensity ratio I0/I and concentration of H2O2 from 1.8 × 10−7 to 9 × 10−4 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10−8 mol/L. And a linear correlation was established between fluorescence intensity ratio I0/I and concentration of glucose from 1.6 × 10−6 to 1.6 × 10−4 mol/L with a detection limit of 1.0 × 10−6 mol/L. The proposed method was applied to the determination of glucose in human serum samples with satisfactory results. 相似文献
