Summary Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) has been used for direct determination of 6-thioguanine, methotrexate, and 5-fluorouracil
in human urine, by use of a fused-silica capillary (60.2 cm×75 μm i.d.). Separation was performed after hydrodynamic injection
for 7 s; the separation potential and capillary temperature were 25 kV and 35°C, respectively. A 45mm borate buffer solution (pH 9.2) was used as separation electrolyte. Under these conditions the analysis takes approximately
10 min and interday precision of migration times and corrected peak areas is satisfactory. A linear response over the concentration
range 3.0–20.0 mg L1 was observed for the three chemotherapeutic drugs in diluted human urine. Detection limits (s/n=3) for 6-thioguanine and methotrexate were approximately 1.60 mg L1 in diluted human urine; that for fluorouracil was 2.60 mg L1. A 2-ml volume of human urine was diluted with 2-mL of water and introduced directly into the electrophoresis system. CZE
was shown to be a good method with regard to simplicity, satisfactory precision, and sensitivity. This method resulted in
especially excellent recoveries for determination of methotrexate in all the different urine samples analysed (n=10). 相似文献
We present Raman spectroscopy experiments in dimethylacetylene (DMA) using a sapphire anvil cell up to 4 GPa at room temperature. DMA presents phase transitions at 0.2 GPa (liquid to phase I) and 0.9 GPa, which have been characterized by changes in the Raman spectrum of the sample. At pressures above 2.6 GPa several bands split into two components, suggesting an additional phase transition. The Raman spectrum of the sample above 2.6 GPa is identical to that found for the monoclinic phase II (C2/m) at low temperatures, except for an additional splitting of the band assigned to the fourfold degenerated asymmetric methyl stretch. The global analysis of the Raman spectra suggests that the observed splitting is due to the loss of degeneracy of the methyl groups of the DMA molecule in phase II. According to the above interpretation, crystal phase II of DMA extends from 0.9 GPa to pressures close to 4 GPa. Between 0.9 and 2.6 GPa, the methyl groups of the DMA molecules rotate almost freely, but the rotation is hindered on further compression. 相似文献
Vertical movement of zirconia-yttria stabilized 2 mm balls is measured by a laser facility at the surface of a vibrated 3D granular matter under gravity. Realizations z(t) are measured from the top of the container by tuning the fluidized gap with a 1D measurement window in the direction of the gravity. The statistics obeys a Fermi-like configurational approach which is tested by the relation between the dispersions in amplitude and velocity. We introduce a generalized equipartition law to characterize the ensemble of particles which cannot be described in terms of a Brownian motion. The relation between global granular temperature and the external excitation frequency is established. 相似文献
The synthesis of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) of low molar mass under safe conditions is difficult due to the high polymerization rate of acrylic acid (AA) and the fast heat generation. The aqueous‐solution “semibatch” polymerization of non‐ionized AA in almost starved conditions involves high initiator loads when low molar masses are required. This article proposes the simultaneous feeding of AA and nonconventional chain transfer agents (CTA) as a strategy aimed at controlling both the molar masses and the generated heat rate. Three CTAs are investigated: 2‐mercaptoethanol, thioglycolic acid, and isopropyl alcohol. Even when PAA of relatively low molar mass can be produced by adequately selecting the flow rates and concentrations of both AA and CTA, it is found that the nature of CTA can have a significant effect on the polymerizations kinetics. The mechanisms responsible for these effects are discussed with the help of a representative mathematical model.
Measurements of the refractive index from 288 to 318 K at five fixed wavelengths, from 656.3 to 404.7 nm, are reported for benzene, toluene (methylbenzene), o-xylene (1,2-dimethylbenzene), m-xylene (1,3-dimethylbenzene), and p-xylene (1,4-dimethylbenzene). We also report the temperature and wavelength dependencies of the refractive index obtained from a least-squares routine. The agreement between the measured and calculated refractive indices lies within the experimental uncertainty. 相似文献
We report on the fabrication of a SERS substrate comprising magnetic and silver particles encapsulated within a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAM) thermoresponsive microgel. This colloidal substrate has the ability to adsorb analytes from solution while it is expanded (low temperature) and reversibly generate hot spots upon collapse (high temperature or drying). Additionally, the magnetic functionality permits concentration of the composite particles into small spatial regions, which can be exploited to decrease the amount of material per analysis while improving its SERS detection limit. Proof of concept for the sequestration of uncommon molecular systems is demonstrated through the first SERS analysis of pentachlorophenol (PCP), a chlorinated ubiquitous environmental pollutant. 相似文献
The fluorimetric characteristics of pipemidic acid (PIPE) have been investigated. It has been proven that the fluorescence emission band of pipemidic acid at 439 nm is significantly intensified in the presence of γ-cyclodextrin. The inclusional complexation between the antibacterial pipemidic acid and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) has been studied. A 1:1 stoichiometry of the complex was established and its association constant was calculated by a nonlinear regression method, monitoring the changes in the fluorescence signal of pipemidic acid in the presence of γ-CD. According to the results obtained, a spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of PIPE has been proposed. The best limits of detection and quantification were obtained in presence of γ-CD, in acidic media. The dynamic range of the method was comprised between 0.18 and 1.40 μg/ml. 相似文献
Acoustic emission has been observed in the α ? β transition of monocrystalline samples of paradichlorobenzene. No acoustic emission has been detected in the β → α transition of single crystals nor in the α ? β transitions in polycrystalline samples. The simultaneous observation of acoustic emission and Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance when several α ? β transition cycles are carried out reveals some features of this solid state phase transition. 相似文献
