Laboratory data analyses shift analysis

The laboratories of Lakowicz and Gratton in particular have developed phase-shift techniques and associated data analysis methods to considerable power in many respects its capabilities are now quite similar to those of the SPT technique. Nevertheless, the SPT technique is more widely applied, and research groups accustomed to working with pulsed lasers generally still prefer the SPT technique over the phase-shift technique. Apart from the fact that pulse techniques are more intuitive, this situation is also related to the fact that some instrumentation available in laboratories that use other pulsed spectroscopies can be also used for SPT, but only to a lesser extent for the phase-shift technique. At present commercial instrumentation is available for both kinds of techniques, and it is no longer necessary, as was the case until a couple of years ago, that researchers buy and assemble independent parts of the apparatus. Rather, complete and integrated instruments, including data analysis software, are now available commercially for both techniques. It thus becomes a practical choice to decide which instrumentation is more suitable for the particular task at hand. 

Over the years, many instruments have been developed for and used in the scientific laboratory. Today, the computer is used as a major tool in the scientific laboratory for the capture, manipulation, transfer, and storage of data. Consequently, the concern for data quality has shifted from the instruments that are used in the generation of the data to these electronic systems, often neglecting the fact that the data are only as accurate as the instrument measurements. For instance, many electronic systems can be used in chromatography analysis, from the electronic log book where the test substance inventory is kept, throughout data capture in the instrument, to the digitized electronic signal that is the raw data on the computer network. For crop residue samples, the...

For the rearrangement of dopachrome, one possible mechanism which has been accepted by different authors 66, 218, 255), involves a hydrogen shift from position 3 and the formation of a quinone methide followed by subsequent decarboxylation to 13. Analysis of the anal5hical data from various laboratories 66, 108, 202) has shown that the yield of DHI vs DHICA is about 95 to 5, at a pH range from 3 to 8.5 which indicates that tyrosinase-catalyzed synthetic dopamelanin is made up mainly of DHI-derived units, as proposed by Mason 163). Hence, the... 

The identification of compounds comprising more than 1 wt% in the oils can be also carried out by C-NMR and computer-aided analysis. " The chemical shift of each carbon in the experimental spectrum can be compared with those of the spectra of pure compounds. These spectra are listed in the laboratory spectral database, which contains approximately 350 spectra of mono-, sesqui-, and diterpenes, as well as in the hterature data. Each compound can be unambiguously identified, taking into account the number of identified carbons, the number of overlapped signals, as well as the difference between the chemical shift of each resonance in the mixture and in the reference.
