OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship between changes in emulsion globule size distributions and container uptake of lipid emulsions in total nutrient admixtures. METHODS A total nutrient admixture was prepared from a commercial lipid emulsion, 20% ClinOleic®, separated into glass (borosilicate) and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) plastic containers, and then stored at ambient conditions for ap...

Modified iron phosphate glasses have been prepared with nominal molar compositions [(1−x)·(0.6P2O5– 0.4Fe2O3)]·xRySO4, where x = 0–0.5 in increments of 0.1 and R = Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Ba, or Pb and y = 1 or 2. In most cases the vast majority or all of the sulfate volatalizes and quarternary P2O5–Fe2O3–FeO–RyOz glasses or partially crystalline materials are formed. Here we have characterized the ...

Piezoelectric dispensing of proteins from borosilicate glass capillaries is a popular method of protein biochip fabrication that offers the advantages of sample recovery and noncontact with the printing substrate. However, little regard has been given to the quantitative aspects of dispensing minute volumes (1 nL or less) at the low protein concentrations (20 μg/mL or less) typically used in mi...

An effective compliant substrate for Si1−xGex growth is presented. A silicon-on-insulator substrate was implanted with B and O forming 20 wt % borosilicate glass within the SiO2. The addition of the borosilicate glass to the buried oxide acted to reduce the viscosity at the growth temperature of Si1−xGex , promoting the in situ elastic deformation of the thin Si (∼ 20 nm) layer on the insulator...

Sorption of hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) to hydrophilic inorganic surfaces in aqueous systems is an important process, because HOCs are common contaminants and the sorption controls their concentration and rate of transport in the environment. Furthermore, in environmental chemistry and analysis, sorption of HOCs to inorganic surfaces, in particular to untreated (uncoated) glass surface...
