Drug concentrations in post‐mortem femoral blood compared with therapeutic concentrations in plasma

Published: Jul 23, 2013

Author(s): Terhi Launiainen, Ilkka Ojanperä

Journal: Drug Testing and Analysis

Therapeutic drug concentrations measured in plasma are of limited value as reference intervals for interpretation in post‐mortem (PM) toxicology. In this study, drug concentration distributions were studied in PM femoral venous blood from 57 903 Finnish autopsy cases representing all causes of death during an 11‐year period. Cause‐of‐death information was obtained from death certificates issued by forensic pathologists. Median, mean, and...

Chemical effects of high‐resolution Yb 4 emission spectra: a possible probe for chemical analysis

Published: Jul 23, 2013

Author(s): Hisashi Hayashi, Noriko Kanai, Naomi Kawamura, Yasuhiro H. Matsuda, Kentaro Kuga, Satoru Nakatsuji, Tetsuro Yamashita, Shigeo Ohara

Journal: X-Ray Spectrometry

An ‘eccentric’ X‐ray emission, YbLγ4, was measured for Yb metal, Yb2O3, YbF3, β‐YbAlB4, YbNi3Al9, and YbNi3Ga9 with a resolution of ~0.9 eV. Peak splitting of the YbLγ4 line was observed in all the recorded spectra and was attributed to the two components originating from the LS coupling of the Yb5p hole, the Yb5p1/2 (LIOII: Lγ4′) and Yb5p3/2 components (LIOIII: Lγ4). The spectra were substantially different depending on the chemical environment of Yb. The position of the...

Click chemistry immobilization strategies in the development of strong cation exchanger chiral stationary phases for HPLC

Published: Jul 22, 2013

Author(s): Denise Wolrab, Peter Frühauf, Michal Kohout, Wolfgang Lindner

Journal: Journal of Separation Science

Enantioseparation of chiral amines with HPLC has developed into a widely used analytical and preparative tool. Chiral basic molecules, which act as cationic species upon protonation, are suited for an enantioselective cation exchange process. Novel strong cation exchangers (SCX) based on different 3,5‐disubstituted benzoic acids functionalized with trans‐(R,R)‐ and trans‐(S,S)‐2‐aminocyclohexanesulfonic acid as the chiral selector (SO) and ion...

Travelling wave ion mobility and negative ion fragmentation for the structural determination of N ‐linked glycans

Published: Jul 22, 2013

Author(s): David J. Harvey, Charlotte A. Scarff, Matthew Edgeworth, Max Crispin, Christopher N. Scanlan, Frank Sobott, Sarah Allman, Kavitha Baruah, Laura Pritchard, James H. Scrivens

Journal: ELECTROPHORESIS

Travelling wave ion mobility was investigated for its ability to separate N‐glycans from other compounds and for resolution of isomers. Charged glycans, exemplified by sialylated complex N‐glycans released from bovine fetuin and ionised by electrospray, could be separated from residual glycopeptides allowing the minor, more highly sialylated compounds to be detected where their ions were obscured by ions from other compounds in different charge...

Efficient excitation of Raman coherence by a gradient force

Published: Jul 21, 2013

Author(s): Dongxia Ma, Yuri V. Rostovtsev

Journal: Journal of Raman Spectroscopy

The vibrational molecular excitation by strong laser fields have been studied. Starting with the molecular Hamiltonian, we derive the vibrational excitation rate due to a gradient of laser field and show that the rate can be two to three orders of magnitude larger than the regular Raman rates. The developed theory contributes to understanding of interaction of powerful laser pulses with molecular systems, and it might be used in...

Pump power dependence in resonance femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy

Published: Jul 21, 2013

Author(s): Joohyun Lee, J. Reddy Challa, David W. McCamant

Journal: Journal of Raman Spectroscopy

Femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) has emerged as a powerful new technique that is capable of obtaining resonance Raman spectra of fluorescent species and transient photochemical intermediates. Unlike related transient infrared absorption techniques, the FSRS signal is quite sensitive to the laser power utilized in the vibrational probing event. In particular, FSRS spectra are highly sensitive to the intensity of the...

A direct sensitivity comparison between flow‐modulated comprehensive 2D and 1D GC in untargeted and targeted MS‐based experiments

Published: Jul 19, 2013

Author(s): Peter Q. Tranchida, Flavio A. Franchina, Mariosimone Zoccali, Ivana Bonaccorsi, Francesco Cacciola, Luigi Mondello

Journal: Journal of Separation Science

The present contribution is focused on the measurement of the analytical sensitivity attained in untargeted/targeted MS/MS experiments, performed using flow‐modulator comprehensive 2D and 1D GC. The comprehensive 2D experiment was performed by diverting part of the high flow (circa 80%) to flush the accumulation loop (about 28 mL/min) to waste, to reduce the gas flow entering the ion source. 1D analyses were performed through: (i)...

Protein purification by aminosquarylium cyanine dye‐affinity chromatography

Published: Jul 19, 2013

Author(s): M. S. Silva, V. C. Graça, L. V. Reis, P. F. Santos, P. Almeida, J. A. Queiroz, F. Sousa

Journal: Biomedical Chromatography

ABSTRACT The most selective purification method for proteins and other biomolecules is affinity chromatography. This method is based on the unique biological‐based specificity of the biomolecule–ligand interaction and commonly uses biological ligands. However, these ligands may present some drawbacks, mainly because of their cost and lability. Dye‐affinity chromatography overcomes the limitations of biological ligands and is widely...
