Feasibility of shotgun urinary proteomics for investigating prematurely born preschoolers (PBP)
2016
Background: Preterms and twins are at higher risk of respiratory morbidity later in life. Advances in proteomic approaches may allow the characterization of biomarkers involved in respiratory diseases (Mauri et al. Imm. Lett. 2014;162:2-10). Gel-free approach quantitatively identify differentially expressed proteins in relation to physiopathological conditions (Mauri&Dehò, Meth Enzymology 2008;447:99-117). This can improve the clinical reliability of the next generation of biomarkers to discriminate multiple phenotypes of childhood respiratory diseases. Aim: To assess the ability of gel-free proteomics for identifying specific protein profiles related to PBP. Methods: Urine samples were…
Extraktionschromatographische trennung der freien porphyrine auf tri-n-butylphosphat-s?ulen im pH-gradienten
1969
Abstract The method described allows the separation of the free porphyrins on a tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) column by elution with a pH gradient. The prophyrins are eluted from the column at discrete pH values (xD) according to the number of carboxyl groups in the side chains. Separation of isomers could not be observed under the conditions used. The xD values indicate the centre of the pH-interval, in which the dissociation of the carboxyl groups occurs. This finding could be confirmed by spectro-photometric measurements. By combining the method proposed with the method of separation by extraction chromatography in the TBP/IN HCl partition system and the thin-layer technique in the 2,6-lut…
Multivariate optimization of the hollow fibre liquid phasemicroextraction of muscimol in human urine samples
2016
A liquid phase microextraction based on hollow fibre followed by liquid chromatographic determinationwas developed for the extraction and quantitation of the hallucinogenic muscimol from urine samples.Method applicability on polar hallucinogens was also tested on two alkaloids, a psychedelic hallucinogen,tryptamine and a polar amino acid, tryptophan which exists in its charged state in the entire pH range. Amultivariate design of experiments was used in which a half fractional factorial approach was applied toscreen six factors (donor phase pH, acceptor phase HCl concentration, carrier composition, stirring rate,extraction time and salt content) for their extent of vitality in carrier media…
Method and apparatus using selected superparamagnetic labels for rapid quantification of immunochromatographic tests

The principle and performance of the method was demonstrated by measuring the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) present in urine. The test format was a sandwich assay using two distinct monoclonal antib…
Thermal Lens Spectrometric Detection of Catecholamines after Oxidation to Aminochromes
1992
Abstract Experimental conditions for the spectrophotometric and thermal lens spectrometry (TLS) detection of catecholamines after oxidation to aminochromes with hexacyanoferrate (III) are optimized. At the low concentrations used in TLS, and in a 0.07 M citrate buffer, catecholamine oxidation can be performed at pH 7 and is immediate, whereas a lower pH value is required in spectrophotometry to avoid aminochrome polymerisation, the oxidation reactions being much slower. Similar TLS sensitivities are obtained for all catecholamines which facilitates HPLC evaluation. Sensitivity can be enhanced using a 50% ethanol-water medium. The linear dynamic range extends over two orders of magnitude, th…
