Based on the serum pharmacochemistry technique and high-performance liquid chromatography/diode-array detection (HPLC/DAD) coupled with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ESI-MS/MS), a method for screening and analysis of the multiple absorbed bioactive components and metabolites of Jitai tablets (JTT) in orally dosed rat ...

A new method involving the use of electrospray mass spectrometry was developed for the detection of trace levels of perchlorate in ground water and drinking water. Electrospray mass spectrometry was shown to be both sensitive and selective for the detecti...

Hyperforin, which is a major active constituent of the antidepression herbal medicine-Hypericum pertoratum (St. John's wort), is very sensitive to oxygen and light. Our paper reports for the first time an air/light-free extraction-separation-detection hyphenated system and its application to St. John's wort. It involves on-line coupling of supercritical fluid extraction with ...

A high-performance liquid chromatographic separation coupled to diode array absorbance and positive mode electrospray mass spectrometric detection has been developed for the analysis of ginsenosides, malonyl ginsenosides, and hydrolyzed ginsenosides in extracts of Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) and American ginseng (P. quinquefolius). ...

Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) mass spectrometry is used for rapid, specific and sensitive detection of trace amounts of the notorious explosive TATP present on ambient surfaces by alkali metal complexation in a simple spray technique. PMID:16491173

with the analysis of solutions containing the drugs verapamil and reserpine, for which detection limits of 8 and 25

Current electrospray ion trap methodology for rapid mixture analysis of proteins used for the identification of microorganisms is described. Development of ion/ion reaction techniques (e.g. reactions of multiply-charged protein cations with singly-charged...

A new high-throughput method was developed to detect simultaneously riboflavin (Vitamin B(2)), pyridoxine (Vitamin B(6)), nicotinamide (Vitamin B(3)), caffeine and taurine in energy drinks by multiple detection. Ten samples of energy drinks and six samples of beverages containing caffeine were prepared by degassing in an ultrasonic bath for 20 min. After ...

The extreme toxicity of cyanide and environmental concerns from its continued industrial use continue to generate interest in facile and sensitive methods for cyanide detection. In recent years, there is also additional recognition of HCN toxicity from smoke inhalation and potential use of cyanide as a weapon of terrorism. This review summarizes the literature since 2005 on ...

Samples of raw red wine (Primitivo di Manduria, Apulia, Southern Italy) were analysed without any pre-treatment (except 1:2 dilution with water) using HPLC with detection based on UV absorbance and Electrospray Ionisation Sequential Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MSn, with n = 1-3) in a series configuration. In particular, ...

Absorption and metabolism of a natural compound, 6-O-caffeoylsophorose (CS) from acylated anthocyanins in a red vinegar fermented with purple sweet potato, were clarified. The absorption of CS and conjugated CS in blood from orally administrated Sprague-Dawley rats at a dose of 400 mg/kg was investigated by electrochemical detection-high performance liquid chromatography. As a ...

Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI), an ambient mass spectrometry technique, is used for trace detection of the explosives trinitrohexahydro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX), 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), Pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN), and their plastic compositions (Composition C-4, Semtex-H, ...

Radar is a sensitive detection tool and since its development, methods for reducing microwave reflections have been explored. Radar absorbers can be classified as impedance matching or resonant absorbers. Radar absorbing materials are made from resistive ...
