A unidimensional Thin Layer Chromatography system for the separation of salicylic acid and its derivatives (sulfosalicylic acid and Aspirin) has been developed. The separation was successfully using a solvent system of chloroform-methanol-water-ammonium hydroxide 120:75:6:2 (V/V) as mobile phase on TLC plates impregnated with boric acid. The method is based on different behavior of investigated...

A modification to the chromatographic conditions of EPA method 539 has been developed that reduces the total run time by more than a factor of three, while providing complete baseline resolution of all seven hormones and DLs that meet the EPA requirements. Response is 7 to 11 times more sensitive in negative mode compared to the use of ammonium hydroxide, and 1.7 to 2.4 times more sensitive in ...

The paper presents the design and simulation of double spiral Pt-based microhotplate (MHP) for gas sensing application. A platinum resistor of 52 Ω has been designed and simulated on a 0.3 micron thick SiO2 suspended membrane of size 40 × 40 μm using ANSYS. The SiO2 membrane of size 40 × 40 μm and thickness 0.3 micron has been fabricated successfully by bulk micromachining in <100> orientation ...

4-Phenyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepin-2(3H)-one reacts in the pres-ence of a concentrated aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and a quaternary ammonium salt (as catalyst) in benzene (phase transfer catalysis) with propargyl bromide, affording the title benzodiazepine derivative, C(18)H(14)N(2)O. In the mol-ecule, the mean plane of the propargyl substituent is almost perpendicular with that of the amid...

Silicon nano-wires were fabricated using thin Silicon on Insulator (SOI) wafers and a combination of anisotropic wet etching by TetraMethyl Ammonium Hydroxide (TMAH) and Local Oxidation of Silicon (LOCOS). These nano-wires were submitted to laser exposure using gas immersion laser doping (GILD). The result was the formation of either periodic nano-structures or silicon balls. Since the process ...

WITTERS, WELDON L. Extraction and identification of clavine and lysergic acid alkaloids from morning glories. Ohio J. Sci. 75(4): 198, 1975. Seeds from three varieties of Ipomoea grown in Ohio were examined for clavine and lysergic acid alkaloids. Three systems of extraction of ergoline alkaloids were compared with the ammonium hydroxide-methanol-chloroform method proving superior to the others...
