Detection Considerations

Additional detection techniques that can be employed to help solve mass balance issues with RP-HPLC are MS [30], chemiluminescent nitrogen-specihc detector [31], evaporative light-scattering detector, ELSD [32], and corona charged aerosol detection [CAD] [33],

Post-reaction XPS detected considerable amounts of CH (about 0.7 ML), indicating that CHx may again have been involved in the reaction, and also a Pd3d BE shift (approximately 0.6 eV), which points to a partial oxidation of the palladium nanoparticles during the reaction (297,504) (Fig. 55c). It is inferred that the oxidation was not complete, because the frequencies of adsorbed CO were still characteristic of CO on metallic palladium (Fig. 55b), and full oxidation to PdO particles would result in BE shifts of about + 1.5eV (514). The observed BE shift (characteristic of oxidized palladium) could be (partly) reversed by reaction... 

Derivatization is another form of sample preparation. It is utilized for the analysis of labile analytes or to enhance retention or detection with a preferred type of detector. Derivatization can be performed to enhance detection by UV/Vis, fluorescence, or electrochemical detection. Consideration must be given to the stability of the derivatize to solvolysis and thermal degradation. In our labs alendronate, a bisphosphonate with a primary amine functionality, was derivatized with FMOC to enhance detection by UV/Vis as well as to increase retention in RPLC mode [19]. An acylchloride was derivatized with... 

LALLS Detection. Consideration of the treatment of light scattering for heterogeneous copolymers (6) permits the dependence of the apparent molar mass M at the ith elution volume interval in a SEC-on-line LALLS experiment to be represented in terms of Pi and Qi by... 

RPA are most reliable for relatively short probes (200-400 bases) the longer the probes, the stronger the need for intact mRNA. In contrast to SI analysis, gel puriHcation of the probe is not required, although recommended, after runoff synthesis. Another important advantage of RPA is that probes are internally labeled so that the specific activity of RNA probes is determined by specific activity of precursors and not by the activity of kinase (as in common SI probes) although internally labeled DNA probes have also been used in SI analysis (Ley et al., 1982). Internally labeled probes have a much higher specific activity than end-labeled probes and improve the detectability considerably. Finally, RNases are not as sensitive to reaction conditions as SI nuclease and thus yield more reproducible results. 

As in the ideal instrument simulation. Fig. 6.7 (left) shows the profile of the dirty image in the FOV direction (for FOVy = 0) for the previous wavenumbers. The presence of noise and errors in the simulation have reduced the contrast of the spatial detection considerably. Spectrally, as presented in Fig. 6.7 (right) one can observe that the spectra contained in the source presents a strong continuum component, but... 

As noted earlier, the addition of a counter ion with a strong chromophore allows for the extremely sensitive detection of non-absorbing solutes in either normal- or reversed-phase applications. The advent of electrochemical detectors, however, increases the list of counter ions appropriate for analytical detection considerably. Ion-pair chromatography therefore not only provides a new dimension for the use of HPLC in the isolation of natural products, it is also a new methodology for resolving and detecting trace amounts of compounds such as various metabolites in biological fluids that were previously elusive. 

Once the shock has subsided, you will be able to detect considerable inventory reducing potential in this value. After all, with so many delayed deliveries your production is actually not supposed to run at all. If it does, you can assume that you have a safety stock and backlog that is too high - they both have the same effect.
