Although classical split and splitless injection is more than 30 years old, we only start to understand the vaporization process in the injector. Solvent evaporation determines much of the process and is the first obstacle to overcome. Videos recorded on devices imitating injectors showed that sample (solvent) evaporation is often a violent process which is poorly controlled and might well expl...

A system for the simultaneous measurement of small-angle X-ray scattering and wide-angle X-ray diffraction (SAXS–WAXD) and the thickness of a coating film, obtained with an automatic coater, during film formation has been developed. The system was installed on beamline BL03XU at SPring-8. As model specimens, poly(methyl methacrylate)-b-poly(n-butyl acrylate)-b-poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA-b-...

the first aim of the present investigation was to prepare solid dispersions to improve the dissolution properties of oxcarbazepine and quetiapine using peg 6000 as a carrier with the help of two methods of preparations viz. spray drying and modified solvent method, and to compare the two methods. the second objective was to apply the modified solvent method for preparation of sustained release ...

© Appl. Rheol. 15 (2005) 390–397 Abstract: We report on the design and implementation of an evaporation blocker for cone-plate and plate-plate geometries. In addition to minimizing sample evaporation by trapping the saturated vapor inside a sample chamber, an important feature of the evaporation blocker is the suppression of solvent transport through condensation. Validation tests with DI-water...

       Cyproterone acetate (CA) has been loaded to liposome by solvent evaporation and thin film formation technique. The effects of some formulation variables such as temperature of organic solvent evaporation, rotary evaporator speed, volume of organic solvent, volume of balloon and temperature of hydrating buffer has been evaluated. The data showed that bigger balloon with higher surface are...

Disposable Pipette Extraction (DPX) has been shown to be a rapid, effi cient and reproducible method for performing solid-phase extraction (SPE) of pesticides from fruits and vegetables. DPX is a unique SPE method because the solid phase sorbent is contained inside a disposable pipette tip and is mixed with sample solutions. This mixing allows for the use of less solid phase sorbent material an...
