This study describes the design and optimisation of a field flow system for the in-situ collection and on-line determination
of phosphate, nitrate and nitrite by flow injection analysis-spectrophotometry. The method is based on the initial determination
of phosphate as its phosphoantimonylmolybdenum blue complex which is then oxidized on-line by nitrite and the decrease in
absorbance is monitored at 880 nm. Nitrate is determined as the difference between total and initial nitrite content in a
separate flow after reduction to nitrite in a cadmium reductive column. The calibration curves were linear in the range 0–2.00 mg L−1 P-phosphate, 0–10.00 mg L−1 nitrite and 0–7.00 mg L−1 nitrate with correlation coefficients of 0.9979, 0.9993 and 0.9995, respectively. The detection limits, calculated as 3S/N,
were 0.15 mg L−1 for P-phosphate, 0.17 mg L−1 for nitrite and 0.09 mg L−1 for nitrate. The reproducibility was below 3.0% (n = 7). Method validation in the analysis of natural water and wastewater samples revealed that it can efficiently be applied
to the determination of the target analytes, with recoveries in the range of 92–108%.

This paper examines the effect of glass fibre reinforcements on the mechanical and morphological properties of polyurethane rigid foams. The processing parameters of the polyurethane foam were maintained constant while the influence of the filler was evaluated in terms of fibre mass content variation (5%, 10% and 20%) and fibre length variation (12.5 mm, 25 mm and 50 mm). Tests were carried out in compression, three-point bending, tension and shear for all material configurations, the variation in fibre mass content having a larger influence on mechanical properties than fibre length. The structure of the specimens was investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy and Computer Tomography in order to investigate the filler influence on morphology and the scatter in results. 相似文献
A timesaving and convenient method for bacterial detection based on one‐step, one‐tube deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) hybridization on hydrogel array while target gene amplification is described. The hydrogel array is generated by a fast one‐pot synthesis, where N,N′‐dimethylacrylamide/polyethyleneglycol(PEG1900)‐bisacrylamide mixture polymerizes via radical photoinitiation by visible light within 20 min concomitant with in situ capture probe immobilization. These DNA‐functionalized hydrogel droplets arrayed on a planar glass surface are placed in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) mixture during the thermal amplification cycles. The bacterial cells can be implemented in a direct PCR reaction, omitting the need for prior template DNA extraction. The resulting fluorescence signal is immediately detectable after the end of the PCR (1 h) following one short washing step by microscopy. Therefore a valid signal can be reached within 1.5 h including 10 min for pipetting and placement of the tubes and chips. The performance of this novel hydrogel DNA array was successfully proven with varying cell numbers down to a limit of 101Escherichia coli cells.
MaiLuoNing injection is a traditional Chinese medicine that used clinically since the 1950s in China. However, anaphylactic reactions, through the potentiation of mast cell degranulation, have been reported. In the present study, a rat basophilic leukemia‐2H3 cell membrane chromatography coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization‐ion trap‐time of flight‐mass spectrometry method was established for screening, analyzing, and identifying the potential anaphylactic components of MaiLuoNing injection. Harpagoside, a potential degranulator of rat basophilic leukemia‐2H3 cells, was retained in rat basophilic leukemia‐2H3 cell membrane chromatography. We aimed to evaluate the retained components to determine which of those were capable of inducing degranulation of basophilic leukemia cells. A β‐hexosaminidase assay revealed that harpagoside can induce rat basophilic leukemia‐2H3 cell degranulation in a dose‐dependent manner. BLBA/c mice also exhibit passive cutaneous anaphylaxis in response to harpagoside. These results indicate that rat basophilic leukemia‐2H3 cell membrane chromatography coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization ion trap time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry is effective in screening for the anaphylactic components of MaiLuoNing injection. 相似文献
