The development of cation-exchange chromatography in free amino acids analysis

Although it was not called a liquid chromatograph, the first such instrument was introduced in late 1959 by Beckman Instruments and was designated the M.S. Amino Acid Analyzer in honour of Moore and Stein. Inject valves had yet to be invented, the buffer switching valves were glass stopcocks and the column temperature was controlled by circulating water baths. Two positive displacement pumps ...

Determination of hemoglobin adduct of a musk xylene metabolite in trout as biomarker of exposure by gas chromatography mass spectrometry

Musk xylene (MX) is frequently used as fragrances in formulation of personal care products. Quantification of a bound 4-amino-MX(4-AMX) as cysteine adducts in trout hemoglobin (Hb) was made by gas chromatography-ion trap-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The Hb samples were collected from trout after 24 h exposure to MX at 10µg/g, and or menhaden oil (control). The formation of cysteine-Hb adduct was ...

Laboratory Study of Conventional Alum Treatment versus MIEX® Treatment for Removal of Natural Organic Matter

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In recent years, considerable effort has been made in drinking water treatment research to develop methods with improved natural organic matter (NOM) removal from water. Reduction in the level of NOM before disinfection can minimise the formation of disinfection by-products and reduce the residual required to control bacterial regrowth in the distribution system. This ...
