In this book, I have tried to show the way in which high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has developed, somewhat slowly it has to be said, into a powerful hybrid analytical technique. 

Hybrid technique The combination of two or more analytical techniques. 

Radioactive isotopes provide a very convenient way of monitoring the fate or metabolism of compounds that contain the isotopes. When used in this way, the isotope is described as a tracer and compounds into which the radioactive atom has been introduced are said to be labelled or tagged. The labelled molecules need only comprise a very small proportion of the total amount of the unlabelled radioactive substance because they act in the same way as the non-radioactive substance but can be detected very much more easily. The varied applications of tracers in biochemistry range from studies of metabolism in whole animals or isolated organs to sensitive quantitative analytical techniques, such as radioimmunoassay. Phosphorus-32 is used in work with nucleic acids, particularly in DNA sequencing and hybridization techniques. In these instances the isotope is used as a means of visualizing DNA separations by autoradiographic techniques. 

This book is a part of the series. Analytical Techniques in the Sciences (AnTS). Please assume from the outset that this is neither a textbook of analytical chemistry or electrochemistry, nor is it a textbook of their hybrid, electroanalysis . There are many extremely good texts on these topics already available (e.g. see the Bibliography for a list). There is simply no need for a new textbook if a new one was required, then this would not be it. 

Figure 1.3.A shows the scheme for another analytical information hierarchy that is complementary to the previous ones. Thus, gravimetries, titrimetries, classical qualitative analyses and sensors provide onedimensional information of the form F = where x is the signal concerned. On the other hand, instrumental techniques provide two-dimensional information that can be of two types depending on whether the signal (x) is combined with an instrumental parameter (y), time (f) or space (s). Some modem analytical techniques (several of which use hybrid instruments) furnish three-dimensional information by combining signals with one or two instrumental parameters (y, z), time and space. The great...

Host-cell and vector-derived DNA. Residual DNA is detected by hybridization analysis, using suitably sensitive sequence-independent analytical techniques or other suitably sensitive analytical techniques. 

Abstract. The synthesis and study of dendrimers has been truly dramatic in the last ten years. This review gives a brief introduction to some of the key concepts and main synthetic strategies in dendrimer chemistry. The focus of the chapter is a survey of modern analytical techniques and physical characterization of dendrimers. Results of model calculations and experiments probing the dimensions and conformation of dendrimers are reviewed. In the final sections the experimental work on dendrimer-polymer hybrids is highlighted. The dense spherical conformation of dendrimers has been combined with the loose random-coil conformation of ordinary polymers to form new hybrids with potentially interesting new properties. 

The presence of cooperative motion of chain segments present in intercalated polymer chains can be examined using various analytical techniques such as Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), thermally stimulated current (TSC) and dielectric spectroscopy. DSC measurements on an intercalated PEO, (Mw= 100,000)/montmorillonite hybrid (20 wt. % polymer), indicated the absence of... 

Tandem technique A term used for the combination of two or more analytical techniques (see also Hybrid technique). 

The present lecture summarizes some of tiie most recent joint research results from tiie cooperation between the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, and tiie University of Miami, USA, on tiie fransient analysis of both fluid flow and heat transfer within microchannels. This collaborative link is a natural extension of a long term cooperation between the two groups, in the context of fimdamental work on transient forced convection, aimed at tiie development of hybrid numerical-analytical techniques and tiie experimental validation of proposed models md methodologies [1- 9]. The motivation of this new phase of tiie cooperation was thus to extend the previously developed hybrid tools to handle both transient flow and transient convection problems in microchannels within the slip flow regime.
