Micro-spotting

Assuming that the reaction probability of all the elementary processes is equal in the reaction of 1,4-DCB crystals, the calculated yields of unreacted 1,4-DCB, cyclophane, and oligomer by simulation, should be 1.8, 37.7, and 60.5% by weight, respectively. Furthermore, if all the photoexcited species of the monocyclic dimer are assumed to be converted into cyclophane, these yields should become 6.9, 65.6 and 27.5%. It is, therefore, rather surprising that in an extreme case of the experiment the yield of cyclophane is more than 90% while the amount of unreacted 1,4-DCB is less than 2%. One plausible mechanism to explain this result is that the first formation of cyclophane induces the successive formation of cyclophane so as to enhance its final yield. If such an induction mechanism plays an appreciable role, an optically active cyclophane zone may be formed, at least in a micro spot surrounding the first molecule of cyclophane, as illustrated in Scheme 13. The assumption of an induction mechanism was verified later in the photoreaction of 7 OMe crystals (see p. 151).

Various different spotting solutions have been described including IX Array-IT micro-spotting solution (TeleChem International, cat. no. MSS-1), 5X SSC, 3X SSC, 150 mM sodium phosphate buffer, pH 8.5, and IX PCR buffer. We find the spotting buffers providing optimal spot size shape and effective binding of the target DNA to the slide are either IX Array-IT or 150 mM sodium phosphate/0.01% SDS. 

In direct excitation systems, the source is directed toward the sample thus exciting the sample directly with the radiation from the target or isotope source (Figure 8.15). To modify the excitation or attenuate undesired parts of the excitation spectra, primary beam filters are used. To reduce the spot size and enable micro spot analysis, pinhole masks are in use as well. For micro spots below...

When a beam of primary X-rays with (microscopically) small cross-section irradiates the sample, it induces the emission of fluorescent X-rays from a micro-spot, which carries information on the local composition of the sample. If the sample is moved either manually or under computer control in the X-ray beam path, spot or line analysis will be possible. 

Of particular interest for in situ determinations of the composition of alloys is the technique of laser micro-spectral analysis [15.91] where a micro-spot of the material surface is evaporated by a laser pulse and the fluorescence spectrum of the evaporated plume serves as monitor for the composition.
