Summary Esculin (ESC) and rutin (RUT) have been simultaneously isolated from pharmaceutical natural materials by solid phase extraction (SPE). Determination of both substances was performed by reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (RPHPLC) with UV detection. Optimization of the separation conditions showed that simultaneous isolation and determination of rutin and esculin from pharmaceutical material was possible. The recovery obtained was not lower than 95±2%. 相似文献
Summary Packings containing chemically bonded C18 groups with different coverage density were prepared using monochlorooctadecylsilane. The method permitting the determination of the free surface energy on the basis of adsorption measurements of two different liquids, noctane and water, was utilized to evaluate the coverage homogeneity of the silica gel surface by the alkylsilyl ligands. It was found that the packing is characterized by a coverage greater than 3.8 mol/m2, it is homogenous and the support surface is fully screened. 相似文献
Stationary phases with specific structural properties for high-throughput liquid chromatographic (LC) techniques are described. Special attention was paid to phases with special structural properties, mainly containing internal functional group (e.g. amide). Such materials are generally called "embedded phases". There are phases created in amidation process of aminopropylated silica gel, especially phases based on biological compounds, like phospholipids and cholesterol, which are called immobilized artificial membranes (IAM's). The synthesis and applications of polar embedded amide LC stationary phases were also reviewed. Methods of characterization of synthesized packing materials were presented, with general focusing on spectroscopic measurements like (13C and 29Si CP/MAS NMR and FT-IR), elemental and thermal analysis as well as chromatographic quantitative structure-retention relationships (QSRR) and extended chemometric tests. The potential applications of various dedicated stationary phases in a high-throughput LC screening procedures were also presented. 相似文献
A one-step solid-phase extraction procedure, based on a new silica gel adsorbent modified with cholesterol groups, has been
investigated for measurement of cotinine in urine. Cotinine is the main metabolite of nicotine in the human body and is analyzed
as a biomarker for assessment of direct or passive exposure to tobacco smoke. New cholesterol-modified adsorbents have been
obtained by chemical modification of silica gel of different porosity with cholesterol ligands. Although recovery by this
extraction procedure were optimum over a relatively broad range of sample pH (3.1–8.0), analytical conditions such as sample
loading, washing and elution conditions, concentration of cotinine to be extracted, and the type of adsorbent used for extraction
were found to affect the efficiency of the procedure and had to be controlled for optimum recovery. When these conditions
were controlled, recovery of cotinine from spiked human urine was reproducible and depended on compound ionization. Quantitative
analysis of cotinine was performed by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection.

A surgical site infection (SSI) is an infection that occurs after surgery in the part of the body where the surgery took place. An SSI may range from a spontaneously limited wound discharge within 7–10 days of an operation to a life‐threatening postoperative complication, such as a sternal infection after open heart surgery. Most SSIs are caused by contamination of an incision with microorganisms from the patient's own body during surgery. From the analytical point of view, the complex nature of these samples as well as the low concentrations of analytes require a system with high sensitivity and efficiency. Such situation requires a technique such as CE, which is a powerful and versatile separation technique that promises to rival HPLC when applied to the separation of both charged and neutral species. During the study, it has been demonstrated that CZE identifies characteristics of such groups of pathogens such as bacteria Gram (+) and different species of bacteria Gram (?), and also develops weekly individual profiles for patients after application of antibiotics. This was done in order to show the impact of antibiotic therapy in change “numbers” of bacteria present in the wound after surgery. The method proved to be the ideal straight specificity in the case of Escherichia coli (100%). Finally, analysis of the spectra and the second derivatives of the UV‐Vis spectra confirmed the similarity in the profiles and showed that the CZE is a great method for fast screening test in bacterial infection. 相似文献
Chemotherapy used as a treatment against lung cancer has influence on metabolic processes occurring in healthy cells. The changes of biochemical pathways proceeded inside cells might be observed in expired air. In the experiment, breath analysis was carried out before and after anticancer therapy. Expired air samples were collected from 22 patients with a biopsy confirmed lung cancer. Volatile organic compounds present in breath were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. For enrichment of analytes solid‐phase microextraction technique was applied. Eight fibers covered by different sorbents were tested. Carboxen‐polydimethylsiloxane fiber revealed the highest extraction efficiency in relation to analytes in breath. The data showed that cytostatic drugs increase the concentration of acetone and isoprene in the breath collected after chemotherapy. Volatile metabolites of administrated drugs were not identified in expired air. 相似文献
An artificial neural network model of supported liquid membrane extraction process with a stagnant acceptor phase is proposed. Triazine herbicides and phenolic compounds were used as model compounds. The model is able to predict the compound extraction efficiency within the same family based on the octanol–water partition coefficient, water solubility, molecular mass and ionisation constant of the compound. The network uses the back‐propagation algorithm for evaluating the connection strengths representing the correlations between inputs (octanol–water partition coefficients logP, acid dissociation constant pKa, water solubility and molecular weight) and outputs (extraction efficiency in dihexyl ether and undecane as organic solvents). The model predicted results in good agreement with the experimental data and the average deviations for all the cases are found to be smaller than ±3%. Moreover, standard statistical methods were applied for exploration of relationships between studied parameters. 相似文献
The goal of the study was to investigate separation mechanism of selected “essential” amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, threonine, tryptophan, proline, and glycine) and vitamin B6 in hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) with the evaporative light scattering detection. Chromatographic measurements were made on three different HILIC columns: amide-silica (TSK-gel Amide-80), amino-silica (TSK-gel NH2-100), and cross-linked diol (Luna HILIC). The retention behaviour of the analytes was investigated as a function of different binary hydro-organic mobile phases containing 10–90 % (v/v) acetonitrile. The compounds studied were separated under isocratic and gradient conditions. The best results of tested biologically active compounds separation were obtained on the TSK-gel NH2-100 column. TSK-gel NH2 column showed mixed HILIC–ion-exchange mechanism, the highest separation efficiency and better selectivity and resolution for tested analytes than the other studied column, especially at concentration of water in mobile phase lower than 30 % (v/v). Special attention was dedicated to the study of interactions among the stationary phase, mobile phase and the analytes.
A sequential extraction procedure (three-step), proposed by the Standards, Measurements and Testing Programme (formerly BCR) of the European Union, was applied to street dust and spiked soil samples for the determination of PGEs. Analyses were carried out using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The results indicate that up to 5% from Pt, 70% from Pd and 14% from Rh are in mobile forms in street dust. The results for the soil samples spiked with crushed catalytic converter are significantly lower indicating that PGEs are oxidised more efficiently in natural conditions. Additionally Pt and Pd bound to humic acids were investigated. 相似文献
