The CSF sample was pretreated with silver cation resin to remove high concentration ofCl- ions in CSF. The separation was achieved in the buffer solution of 10 mmol/L Tris and 8mmol/L boric acid at the separation voltage of 20.0 kV. Glu showed linear response in the range of5.0×10-6 to 6.0×10-3 mol/L, the limit of detection was 1.0×10-6 mol/L.

Box-Behnken factorial design was effectively applied for the separation optimization of eight structurally related sulfonamides using capillary zone electrophorosis and reverse high performance liquid chromatography. Optimum values for volume ratio of THF to H2O in eluent, column temperature and flow rate of eluent are found as 12 to 88, 35℃ and 1.0 mL/min, respectively. Box-Behnken modified optimization model is extended to separation by capillary electrophoresis (CE). While using CE, a satisfactory separation is achieved with a minimum resolution larger than 1.0 for a separation time less than 10 min.展开更多
Separation and determination of metal ions based on the formation of chelate anions with 1-Nitroso-2, 7-dihydrexynaphthalene-3, 6-disulfonic acid (1N2, 7O3, 6S) was studied by rising HPCE of the nine metal ions examin...Separation and determination of metal ions based on the formation of chelate anions with 1-Nitroso-2, 7-dihydrexynaphthalene-3, 6-disulfonic acid (1N2, 7O3, 6S) was studied by rising HPCE of the nine metal ions examined, the ions that can be detected sensitively with 1-Nitroso-2, 7-dihydrexynaphthalene-3, 6-disulfonic acid were Fe2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Pd2+. The cobalt chelate could exist in two oxidation states of cobalt. When TBA(+) were added in electrophoretic solutions, the drastic changes in elertrophoretic mobilities of chelate were observed, which was due to the ion association between chelates anions and TBA(+). The ion association constants of chelate anions with TBA(+) were determined by using the change in electrophoretic mobilities of chelates, metal ions tested were separated within 10 min using 30cm silica capillary (50 m i. d).展开更多

While the concentration ...Inositol phosphates are essential for cell development and signaling in all living organisms. Inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) is the most abundant phosphoinositol in both plants and animals. While the concentration of inorganic phosphorous (Pi) is often limited in soil, some plants overcome this limitation by creating a phosphate reservoir that serves as a source of Pi during phosphate deficiency. Although this strategy benefits plant development and signaling under adverse environmental conditions, excessive accumulation of Pi in crop plants has raised serious concerns about its toxicity and ill effects on human health. Consumption of crop plants with high InsP6 content or food products made from these crops is found to reduce nutrient intake significantly by way of chelating essential metal cations in human and livestock fed by such plants. Therefore, it is necessary to determine InsP6 contents in crop plants. Several methods have been developed for the screening and detection of InsP6 in plants. These detection methods however, are complex, labor-intensive, and often provide inaccurate results. We have developed a fast, reliable, and cost-effective method for the detection and quantification of InsP6 in plants using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) with potential applications in industry, quality control labs, and research projects.展开更多

In general, enantioseparation of basic chiral compounds is carried out in acidic condition (pH 2.5) to prevent analytes from adsorption on the capillary wall. However, in the case of rivastigmine, the detection sensitivity was too limited to determine the optical impurity of S-rivastigmine lower than 1% when buffer pH was 2.5. It was found that the detection sensitivity was improved 1.6 times just by raising the buffer pH value from 2.5 to 5.8. The poor column efficiency due to the adsorption of the analytes on the capillary wall was resolved by using dynamical coating of the capillary wall with the linear polyacrylamide solution. The experimental parameters such as the concentration of HS-β-CD, buffer pH and buffer ionic strength were optimized, respectively. The method was validated in terms of repeatability, linearity, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ). Using the present method, the optical purity of nonracemic rivastigmine with the enantiomeric excess (ee) value of 99.14% was determined.展开更多

This method was fully investigated in theory. A flat tube with a 2a×ka-mm (2a<ka) channel develops the maximum radial temperature gradient (π/k)-1 times less than an a -mm i. d. circular one. Compared with a 2a-ram i. d. circular tube, the flat one has at least a ((2k/π)-1)-fold increase in absorption response or decrease in detection limits, and the same fold increase in allowable sample throughput. The highest efficiency with a flat tube is thus expected. These were all tested in electrophoresis with 0.2×0.6-mm, 0.2-ram i. d. and 0.4-mm i. d. plastic tubes. Besides, the 0.2×0.6-mm flat tube required a less recovery time than the 0.2-mm i. d. tube and allowed a higher working voltage than the 0.4-mm i. d. tube, which implied that the flat tube offered the highest speed. The optimum k was observed at the values of 6—10 in the experiment and the recovery time was affected by the size of the tube and the viscosity of the solution.A preparation process of flat fluorocarbon polymer tubes is described in the paper, with a discussion on heat-deformatlon of the flattened tube.展开更多

Some suggestions for establishing the production base of licorice were put forward based on the study.展开更多

Ten amino acids were detected out from four varieties, including histidine, lysine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, valine, threonine, proline, serine, alanine and glycine. The mass fractions of amino acids in leaves and roots were higher than those in rhizosphere soil and non rhizosphere soil. In rhizosphere soil and non-rhizosphere soil, the mass fractions of lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, proline and glycine in susceptible varieties ( Ⅲ, Ⅳ) were higher than those in resistant varieties ( Ⅰ, Ⅱ). In rhizosphere soil, the total amino acids successively were Ⅳ 〉 Ⅲ 〉 Ⅰ 〉 Ⅱ, and in non rhi- zosphere soil were Ⅲ 〉 Ⅳ 〉 Ⅰ 〉 Ⅱ. The total amino acids in roots of variety Ⅳ was the highest, up to 6 359. 195 μg/g. In leaves, the total amino acids in varieties I and If were higher than those in varieties IfI and IV. The results indicated that amino acids could secrete to rhizosphere via root secretion, and the compositions and mass fractions of amino acids varied with flue-cured tobacco varieties, thus the secretion amount of susceptible varieties was higher than that of resistant varieties.展开更多
