The present study was carried out to determine the fatty acid profile of rainbow trout (Oncorynchus mykiss) from three Slovenian fish farms; Zalog, Želimlje and Povodje. Fatty acids composition determined on a gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector (GC-FID). results showed that farming conditions have significant influence trout. predominant saturated (SFA) palmitic acid, oleic main m...

Zanthoxylum nitidum (Roxb.) DC is a traditional Vietnamese medicine to treat coughs, stomachache, toothache, blood stagnation, and sore throats. The essential oils (EOs) of the leaves, fruits, stems this plant were extracted by hydrodistillation subjected analysis gas chromatography (GC)-flame ionization detector (FID) GC-mass spectrometry (MS). isolated EOs then evaluated in terms their antimi...

background: volatile organic compounds (vocs), including carcinogens and toxic compounds, are produced in petrochemical industries. we undertook this study in order to study workers’ respiratory exposure to different voc concentrations and compare the results with the urinary levels of its metabolites and study the correlation between them in petrochemical industries. materials and methods: exp...

Gas chromatography with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC-QTOFMS) and soft ionization generated by a rare-gas plasma is described here for the determination of various chlorophenoxy acid methyl esters and a few chlorinated herbicides. This plasma-based, wavelength-selectable ionization source, which can use Xe, Kr, Ar, Ne, or He as the plasma gas, enables ionization of GC-amenable...

A small set of amphetamines has been analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) using a microplasma photoionization (MPPI) soft-ionization source. This plasma-based, wavelength selectable ionization source enables ionization of the test compounds and their corresponding derivatives at ~8-12 eV that is a softer alternative to electron ionization ...

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to detect 2-docosanol, a secondary alcohol characteristic of Mycobacterium xenopi, in 7 of 10 analyzed drinking water samples culture positive for that species. GC-MS was also used to detect tuberculostearic acid. Both of these chemical markers were analyzed as halogenated derivatives in the negative-ion-chemical-ionization mode. The numbers...

Dual-energy measurements are presented utilizing a novel slot-scan digital radiographic imaging detector, operating on gaseous solid state ionization principles. The novel multimedia detector has two basic functional components: a noble gas-filled detector volume operating on gas microstrip principles, and a solid state detector volume. The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential ...

A gas-chromatographic analysis of vinylidene chloride (1,1-dichloroethylene) is presented. Vinylidene chloride was sampled by adsorbing on activated carbon. It was desorbed with carbon disulfide. The desorption efficiency was 97.2 +/- 1.05 (mean +/- standard error). The analytical column was packed with 10% Apiezon L on acid-washed Chromosorb-P. The analysis was conducted on a gas chromatograph...

The oxygen (O2) barrier properties of ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) have been widely investigated, but for other gases the available data are usually limited to dry conditions due limitations in measurement equipment. Innovative permeation systems with low detection limits required determine gas transmission rate (GTR) gases, such as nitrogen (N2) at varying temperature and relative h...

A simple method to pre-concentrated derivative aromatic compounds on active carbon in column has been applied as stationary phase which is used to measure the concentration of derivative aromatic compounds in water samples by means of solid-phase extraction. To measure 250 cc water samples and 250mg active carbon could be applied. Next step is to measure the derivative aromatic compounds by inj...
