rssJournal Highlight: Tissue proteomics of the low-molecular weight proteome using an integrated cLC-ESI-QTOFMS approach
Date: Jun 24, 2013
Author: spectroscopyNOW
A tissue proteomics approach involving tissue homogenization followed by depletion of large proteins and then capillary LC-MS analysis has been evaluated for examining the low molecular weight/low abundance tissue proteome.
Read MoreJournal Highlight: DCE-MRI: a review and applications in veterinary oncology
Date: Jun 24, 2013
Author: spectroscopyNOW
This review summarises the derivation of the models developed to assess dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI), its applications to the study and treatment of human and animal cancer, and challenges in reproducibility.
Read MoreJournal Highlight: Core consistency diagnostic in PARAFAC2
Date: Jun 17, 2013
Author: spectroscopyNOW
The possibility of applying the core consistency diagnostic which is currently applied in PARAFAC1 to determine model complexity in PARAFAC2 has been investigated theoretically.
Read MoreSudan dyes in seconds: Paper spray mass spectrometry for chilli powder tests
Date: Jun 15, 2013
Author: Steve Down
Paper spray mass spectrometry has been applied to measure five Sudan dyes simultaneously in chilli pepper within 60 seconds, providing a green, high-throughput method that could be used in quality control labs.
Read MoreMicrobore protein digestor: Hollow fibre reactor for online proteolysis
Date: Jun 15, 2013
Author: Steve Down
A microbore enzyme reactor constructed from a hollow fibre that is linked directly to an LC/MS system has been designed for the online digestion, purification and analysis of low amounts of proteins.
Read MoreWhat's the beef? Bovine antibodies X-rayed
Date: Jun 15, 2013
Author: David Bradley
US researchers have used X-ray diffraction to study several novel bovine antibodies that might one day lead to new types of agent against infectious pathogens.
Read MoreQuasi on the inside: Rare earth crystals
Date: Jun 15, 2013
Author: David Bradley
Scientists at the Ames Laboratory in the USA have used an algorithm to fish for new rare-earth quasicrystals and have pulled out a new family of binary magnetic icosahedral quasicrystals containing several different rare earth elements and cadmium. The findings demonstrate that such materials have spin glass behaviour rather than magnetic behaviour.
Read MoreInvisible touch: What's the matter?
Date: Jun 15, 2013
Author: David Bradley
An explanation as to why we cannot detect 85 percent of the predicted mass of the universe has emerged from fundamental particle research carried out in the 1930s. US physicists have now proposed that dark matter, may be composed of Majorana fermions, which are anapoles with a doughnut-shaped electromagnetic field invisible to any known detector technology.
Read MoreConcentrate hard: Improving FAAS
Date: Jun 15, 2013
Author: David Bradley
A new preconcentration procedure for flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) determinations of heavy metals in food and water is both quick and simple to carry out.
Read MoreJournal Highlight: Time-resolved X-ray PIV technique for diagnosing opaque biofluid flow with insufficient X-ray fluxes
Date: Jun 10, 2013
Author: spectroscopyNOW
X-ray particle image velocimetry in which an image intensifier was combined with a high-speed camera was used to reduce exposure time to below 200 µs, and applied to measure high-speed blood flows in a tube
