Stripping voltammetry for the determination of trace metal speciation and in-situ measurements of trace metal distributions in marine waters

Progress in marine chemistry has been driven by improved sampling and sample handling techniques, and developments in analytical chemistry. Consequently, during the last 20 years our understanding of marine trace metal biogeochemistry has improved a great deal. Stripping voltammetric techniques (anodic stripping voltammetry and adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry) have made an important contribution to this understanding. The selectivity and extremely low detection limits have made stripping voltammetry a widely used technique for trace metal speciation and trace metal distribution measurements in seawater. Stripping voltammetry is very suitable for ship-board and in-situ applications because of the portability, low cost and capability for automation of the voltammetric instrumentation. Future developments in stripping voltammetry can be expected in the field of stand-alone submersible voltammetric analysers, capable of continuous trace metal measurements. Future applications of stripping voltammetry can be found in the interactions between trace metal speciation and growth and the functioning of organisms in pristine and metal polluted marine waters.     

Purity assessment problem in quantitative NMR—impurity resonance overlaps with monitor signal multiplets from stereoisomers

This paper describes the situation that can emerge when the signals to be evaluated in quantitative NMR measurements—so-called “monitor signals”—consist of several resonance lines from the stereoisomers of the analyte in addition to an impurity signal underneath. The monitor signal problem is demonstrated in the purity assessment of two samples of 2-(isopropylamino)-4-(ethylamino)-6-chloro-1,3,5-triazine (atrazine), a common herbizide which served as analyte in a CCQM intercomparison. It is shown that, in DMSO-d₆ solution, a mixture of stereoisomers leads to several individual overlapping singlets, which are further split by spin–spin coupling. A measurement protocol was developed for finding and identifying an impurity that has a signal that is positioned precisely beneath the methyl signal chosen as the monitor signal in one of the samples. Quantitative NMR purity assessment is still possible in this special case, but with higher uncertainty. Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available for this article at

傅里叶变换红外光谱实时监测乳腺癌细胞化疗反应性的研究

应用傅里叶变换红外光谱技术监测乳腺癌细胞株MCF-7在化疗药物5氟尿嘧啶(5-FU)干预过程中相应的红外光谱变化,验证其与药物作用的时间和剂量相关性。对数据结果整理发现,在时间相关性方面,随药物作用时间的延长,乳腺癌细胞株MCF-7对脂类的利用率下降,细胞中脂类含量增加,同时肿瘤细胞分裂增殖受阻,细胞内DNA和RNA的含量降低,实验中观察到,48 h内,乳腺癌细胞MCF-7的红外光谱中代表脂类变化的峰强比I_{2 920}/I_{1 460}逐渐升高,I_{1 400}/I_{1 460}逐渐降低,代表细胞内核酸变化的峰强比I_{1 080}/I_{1 550},I_{1 240}/I_{1 550}逐渐降低;在剂量相关性方面,癌细胞红外光谱中峰强比I_{1 640}/I_{1 550}较正常升高,实验中观察到峰强比I_{1 640}/I_{1 550}随药物浓度的增加而呈现逐渐降低的趋势。以上这些变化与乳腺癌细胞在化疗药物干预过程中的生物学改变相符,可作为FTIR实时监测乳腺癌细胞化疗反应性的参考指标。     

Design of BEPC Ⅱ bunch current monitor system

BEPC Ⅱ is an electron-positron collider designed to run under multi-bunches and high beam current condition. The accelerator consists of an electron ring, a positron ring and a linear injector. In order to achieve the target luminosity and implement the equal bunch charge injection, the Bunch Current Monitor (BCM)system is built on BEPC Ⅱ. The BCM system consists of three parts: the front-end circuit, the bunch current acquisition system and the bucket selection system. The control software of BCM is based on VxWorks and EPICS. With the help of BCM system, the bunch current in each bucket can be monitored in the Central Control Room. The BEPC Ⅱ timing system can also use the bunch current database to decide which bucket needs to refill to implement "top-off" injection.
