This study was designed to determine which combination of sorbent-trap and elution solvent provided the most efficient automated method of collection in supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), elution of analytes, and clean-up of orange, sweet potato and green bean extracts for analysis of 56 diverse pesticides using GC-ion-trap MS. The solid-phase traps evaluated consisted of octyldecylsilane (O...

OBJECTIVES Ti, which is biocompatible and resistant to corrosion, is widely used for dental implants, particularly in patients allergic to other materials. However, numerous studies have reported on Ti allergy and the in vitro corrosion of Ti. This study investigated the conditions that promote the elution of Ti ions from Ti implants. METHODS Specimens of commercially pure Ti, pure nickel, a ...

Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) appears recently to have the potential to replace the less environment-friendly analytical techniques. In the current work, a new eco-friendly, simple and rapid UHPLC method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of MTX and FA in human urine. The UHPLC analysis has been carried out on a Titan C18 column (100x2.1 mm, 1.9 μm) u s...

By M iiTIN J. CLINE AND NATHANIEL I. Bi ur. G RAY AND STERLING demonstrated that red cells can bind radioactive sodium chromate ( Na2 Cr51O4 ) in vitro rapidly and without apparent damage to the exposed cells.’ The chromium-51 labeling technic was rapidly adopted for the measurement of total red cell volume and red cell life span.26 As an erythrocyte label it possesses the advantage that it is ...

Elution is a procedure for recovery of antibody attached to intact,immunoglobulin-coated red blood cells (RBCs) by disrupting the antigen-antibody bonds. The recovered antibody is collected in an inert diluent and is referred to as an eluate. Testing of an eluate may be desired to identify antibody(ies) coating the RBCs of patients with a positive direct antiglobulin test. Many types of elution...

Dental alloys for direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) are available on the market today, but there is little scientific evidence reported on their characteristics. One of them is the release of ions, as an indicator of the corrosion characteristics of a dental alloy. Within this research, the difference in the elution of metals from DMLS and cast (CM) samples of Co-Cr-Mo dental alloy in saliva-...

A gradient elution high performance liquid chromatography method with detection at 230 nm for the analysis of perbenzoylated cerebrosides containing hydroxy and nonhydroxy fatty acids is described. The quantitative range of the method is 0.5-10 nmol of cerebrosides. The limit of detection for injected sample is about 10 picomol. The analysis time by liquid chromatography is less than 5 minutes ...

High-dose antibiotic-loaded acrylic cement (ALAC) is used for managing peri-prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The marked increase in resistant high-virulence bacteria is drawing the attention of physicians toward alternative antimicrobial formulations loaded into acrylic bone cement. The aim of this in vitro study was to determine the elution kinetics of 14 different high-dose ALACs. All ALAC...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of four different storage media on the elution of monomers from two composite materials. Samples (n = 10, diameter: 4.5 mm, thickness: 2 mm) of two different composite materials (Ceram X™ & Filtek™ Supreme XT) were stored after polymerization in four different media (NaCl, saliva, ethanol 75% & acetone) for 24 h, 7 days, and 28 days. From the sto...
