Protein microarray technologies provide a means of investigating the proteomic content of clinical biopsy specimens in order to determine the relative activity of key nodes within cellular signaling pathways. A particular kind of protein microarray, the reverse-phase microarray, is being evaluated in clinical trials because of its potential to utilize limited amounts of cellular material obtain...

urinary 1-hydroxypyrene is frequently used as a major metabolite and biological indicator of the overall exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. in this study, solid phase extraction was appropriately conditioned with regard to sample ph, sample concentration, loading flow rate, elution solvent, washing solvent, sample volume and sorbent mass. octadecyl silica cartridge (c18) was used as ...

A new, rapid, economical and isocratic reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method was developed for the determination of eptifibatide acetate, a small synthetic antiplatelet peptide, in bulk drug substance and pharmaceutical dosage forms. The developed method was validated as per of ICH guidelines. The chromatographic separation was achieved isocratically on C18 colum...

This study investigates the influence of excess water on lipidic mesophase during phase transition from diamond cubic (Pn3m) to reverse hexagonal (HII). By a combination of...

In this article, ZnO and ZnO:Mn nanoparticles prepared by reverse micelle method. The various crystalline properties of these nanoparticles such as size, d-spacing, strain, stress, dislocation density and texture coefficient have been calculated with the help of XRD spectrum. The XRD results indicated that the synthesized ZnO and ZnO:Mn nanoparticles have a pure wurtzite (hexagonal phase) struc...

As part of a wider study into high internal phase emulsions, we have prepared and studied by SANS and USANS the structure of an unstable emulsion consisting of 90% by volume saturated ammonium nitrate dispersed as micron-scale droplets in hexadecane, stabilised by the surfactant Pluronic L92. Similar emulsions produced using polyisobutylene-based surfactants, reported earlier, are highly stabil...
