Investigation of the effects of 24 bio-matrices on the LC-MS/MS analysis of morinidazole

This study compares and evaluates the effect of various matrices on liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis. Permanent post-column infusion (PCI) was used to quantify matrix effects. In this way, the suppressed or enhanced signal of the target material resulting from different co-eluting matrix components could be assessed. Twenty-four biological samples from in vivo and in vitro experiments were selected for this study. In addition, 7 sample components were further analyzed after sample preparation by protein precipitation. Multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the collinear relationship between matrix effects and co-eluted components at different time intervals. We found that salt was the dominant factor which impacted changes in signal detection. In order to eliminate it, we used ammonium formate as a modifier of the mobile phase which resulted in charge-state redistribution profiles so that a homogeneous matrix formed. By employing pulse gradient chromatography in the presence of 5 mM ammonium formate, favorable improvements of enhanced signal intensity and reduced matrix effects were obtained. These experiments also indicated the feasibility of using analogue IS during bio-analysis which contributed to an overall faster assay that would be suitable for drug discovery and development purposes.     

Speciation of aluminium fluoride complexes and Al in soils from the vicinity of an aluminium smelter plant by hyphenated High Performance Ion Chromatography Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry technique

The paper presents a new tool for the determination of inorganic speciation forms of aluminium: AlF_n^{(3 − n)+}, and Al³⁺ by means of the HPIC-FAAS. The proposed method has been successfully used for speciation analysis (qualitative and quantitative) of inorganic aluminium forms AlF_n^{(3 − n)+} in soil samples. In order to isolate the most environmentally available fraction, 5 g of the sample was collected and extracted in deionised water (water soluble fraction) for 1 h using a magnetic stirrer. The determinations in a hyphenated technique system were performed for a number of prepared water extracts. Concentration determinations of particular aluminium forms were performed based on model studies and real samples. The separation of Al species with nominal charge of + 1, + 2, and + 3 required a run time of less than 4 min during a single analysis. Based on the analysis of water extracts of soil, it was obtained that aluminium forms elute in the following order: 1PA (first signal) — AlF₂⁺ and/or AlF₄⁻; 2PA (second signal) — AlF²⁺ and/or AlF₃⁰; 3PA (third signal) — Al³⁺. In order to confirm the occurrence of these forms a simulation using the Mineql program was conducted. The details of speciation analysis of aluminium fluoride forms by means of an HPIC-FAAS instrument equipped are presented. Interpretation of the speciation analysis of the water soluble fraction of soil samples is proposed, based on the separation during chromatographic run and calculated data by Mineql.

Potential solutions to improved sound performance of volume based lightweight multi-storey timber buildings

Lightweight building systems in general suffer from poor sound insulation, especially in the low frequency region. Since no reliable mathematical models that can predict the impact sound pressure level exists, the lightweight building design is to a high extent based upon previous experience and upon measurements. A special difficulty is related to experimental measurements since the variation among identical units must not be neglected. A modern volume based lightweight wooden building concept has here been tested by numerous well controlled measurements, in laboratory as well as in more field like conditions. The volume construction technique offers new possibilities and challenges to improve sound insulation in light weight timber construction. The main purpose was to investigate how different constructional solutions in the floor, like plaster board, mineral wool, elastic glue, dividing board, floating floor etc., affect the sound insulation. Many of the tested modifications resulted in only marginally changed impact sound pressure level but parameters that substantially can improve the sound insulation were found in using elastic glue to mount the floor boards, to install extra board layers and to use floating floors.
