Performance of hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation in protein separation

Since hollow-fiber flow field-flow fractionation (HF FIFFF) utilizes a cylindrical channel made of a hollow-fiber membrane, which is inexpensive and simple in channel assembly and thus disposable, interests are increasing as a potential separation device in cells, proteins, and macromolecules. In this study, performance of HF FIFFF of proteins is described by examining the influence of flow rate conditions and length of fiber (polyacrylonitrile or PAN in this work) on sample recovery as well as experimental plate heights. The interfiber reproducibility in terms of separation time and recovery was also studied. Experiments showed that sample recovery was consistent regardless of the length of fiber when the effective field strength (equivalent to the mean flow velocity at the fiber wall) and the channel void time were adjusted to be equivalent for channels of various fiber lengths. This supported that the majority of sample loss in HF FIFFF separation of apoferritin and their aggregates may occur before the migration process. It is finally demonstrated that HF FIFFF can be applied for characterizing the reduction in Stokes' size of low density lipoproteins from blood plasma samples obtained from patients having coronary artery disease and from healthy donors.

Studies of the soluble part of oxidised coals

Soluble products obtained from the oxidation of four types of coal, each characterised by different degree of coalification and different degree of sulphur content, are studied. The coals are oxidised with peracetic acid (PAA) and nitric acid. Analyses are performed by Atmospheric Pressure-Temperature Programmed Reduction (AP-TPR) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The soluble products contain much more sulphur than the insoluble products of oxidation. The products obtained from the reaction with HNO₃ contain higher amounts of inorganic sulphur compounds, while those obtained from the reaction with PAA are characterised by an increased content of organic sulphur species.     

第三组分Et2Mg对二茂锆/铝氧烷体系催化乙烯聚合反应的影响

研究发现在二茂锆-铝氧烷催化体系中添加少量Et2Mg能够明显促进在低Al/Zr摩尔比条件下乙烯高聚.以MAO作为助催化剂,Al/Zr/Mg摩尔比为1012时,得到高聚物,粘均分子量(Mv)为1.37×105,催化活性为2.83×104g聚合物/mol(Zr)h.而在同样的反应条件下,Cp2ZrCl2-MAO和-EAO二组份催化体系在如此低的Al/Zr摩尔比条件下无催化活性或以很低的催化活性生成低碳烯烃.对于这类三组份烯烃高聚催化体系的研究目前仍在进行中,以期得到有效的低Al/Zr比乙烯高聚茂金属催化体系.

Thermostating in capillary electrophoresis

Summary The use of high voltages across a electrophoresis capillary will increase the temperature of the buffer due to Joule heating. As a result temperature control in CE is rather important since variations in the buffer temperature will result in changes in the pH of the buffer, peak shape, migration time, reproducibility, efficiency, 3-D structure of macromolecular analytes, etc. Six different thermostating systems have been evaluated: (i) natural convection, (ii) fan, (iii) home-made and (iv and v) two commercially available high-speed air and a (vi) liquid thermostated device. In all cases the temperature of the buffer in the capillary is calculated according to the temperature-conductivity relationship. For this purpose two parameters are introduced describing temperature control: the temperature onset (δT) and the temperature rise factor (α). From these results, it can be concluded that high speed air thermostating can be as efficient as liquid thermostating.

Determination of estrogenic steroids in surface water and wastewater by liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

An analytical method is presented which permits trace level determination of 17alpha-ethynylestradiol (EE2), 17beta-estradiol (E2), and estrone (E1). Using this method, the estrogenic steroids were analyzed in drinking water, surface water, and wastewater (sewage influents and effluents) at concentrations down to 0.1 ng/L. Sample volumes between 100 and 500 mL are concentrated using automated solid-phase extraction. Analysis is performed by liquid chromatography with detection by tandem mass spectrometry. Applying simple clean-up procedures and internal standard calibration, recovery losses resulting from matrix-dependent ion suppression during electrospray ionization could be compensated for all of the investigated compounds. Recoveries around 100% were obtained for all analytes after correction using the internal standards. Limits of quantification (LOQ) were between 0.1 and 0.4 ng/L for purified sewage, surface, ground, and drinking water and between 1 and 2 ng/L in the case of raw sewage. Water treatment by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) or by a surface water treatment plant affected the removal of all estrogenic steroids. Thus, E1, E2, and EE2 were removed in the municipal WWTPs to the extent of 93%, 93%, and 80%, respectively. In the effluents of the WWTP in Ruhleben (Berlin, Germany), E1, E2, and EE2 were detected at the low ng/L level. E2 and EE2 were, however, not present in the Berlin surface water above the LOQ (0.2 ng/L). E1 was the only compound that could be detected in surface water samples. After additional surface water treatment it was still detectable but only at trace-level concentrations with a mean value of 0.16 ng/L.
