Partial selectivity

More difficult situations occur when only some components exhibit selectivity. A common example is a completely embedded peak in HPLC-DAD. In the case of LC-MS or LC-NMR, this problem is often solved by finding pure variables, but because UV/vis spectra are often completely overlapping it is not always possible to treat data in this manner. 

Fortunately, PCA comes to the rescue. In Chapter 5 we discussed the different applicabilities of PCR and MLR. Using the former method, we stated that it was not necessary to have information about the concentration of every component in die mixture, simply a good idea of how many significant components there are. So in the case of resolution of two-way data these approaches can easily be extended. We 

One approach uses the idea of a zero concentration window. The first step is to identify compounds that we know have selective regions, and determine where they do not elute. This information may be obtained from a variety of approaches such as eigenvalue or PC plots. In this region we expect the intensity of the data to be zero, so it is possible to find a vector r for each compound so that 

The profiles of all the compounds can now be obtained over the entire region by 

We will illustrate this with the example of Table 6.2. From inspecting the data we might conclude that compound A elutes between times 4 and 13, B between times

Many fluids of natural origin contain detectable quantities of high molecular weight organic anions, such as those from humic, fulvic, and tannic acids, which can be carried to and deposited on AX membranes. Such deposits can behave as thin films partially selective to cations (6). The iaterfaces between such films and the undedyiag AX membranes then act as very thin stagnant depletion compartments and the AX membranes may exhibit polarization at current densities that are much lower than would be expected for new membranes ia the abseace of such anioas.

The Eqs. (10) and (11) functionally connect thep parameter, the initial electron s velocity Vo and velocity s constituents Vqx and Voy in plane-parallel structure with distributed potential with the coordinate of its entry s point xo, on the electrode with distributed potential. Let us analyze Eq. (10) Under pxo < B the electron will lose the initial kinetic energy completely with generation of electromagnetic radiation (the kinetic energy is absorbed completely). Under these conditions the electron doesn t leave the structure. There is the partial selection of energy under px0 > B and the electron comes beyond the limits of structure. If electron enters the structure normally (Voy = Vo, Vox = Vo) the boundary condition after that electron leaves the structure can be written as ...

Orciprenaline is a partially selective adrenoceptor-agonist and hence it is more likely to have effects on the cardiovascular system, such as arrhythmias, than the selective adrenoceptor-agonists, such as salbutamol, terbutaline and the long-acting beta-agonists salmeterol and formoterol. Orciprenaline is available only as tablets or syrup and can be prescribed to 4-year-old children. 

Meloxicam is a partially selective cycloHDxygenase-2 inhibitor and is therefore less likely to cause gastrointestinal side-effects, such as bleeding, than other NSAIDs. 

In patients with lymphocytic CSF cytological syndromes, elevation of CSF C4 concentrations was observed. Leakage of several proteins across the blood-CSF barrier was also found. Leakage of C4 complement into CSF depends on the functional state of the barrier to a certain extent, being partially selective. Under pathological circumstances, the rate of penetration of protein fractions across the blood-CSF barrier can be modified selectively, which has been proved in CSF acute-phase reactants. They are highly influenced by the production of cytokines. These considerations evoke the question as to whether similar mechanisms of penetration can be expected in cytokines. Elucidation of the pharmacokinetics of interferons in CSF could substantially influence our approach not only to MS patients but to others as well (A18).

This observation opens a window of opportunity, enabling a partially selective targeting of tumor cells in preference to host cells. By designing agents which attack nucleic acids at particular times during the cell cycle, it is possible to devise molecules with improved specificity for tumor cells.

Even using uncertainty factors, the problem of determining the reliability of qualitative methods has not be solved because the usual statistical approaches are often not applicable. In residue analysis, this problem is often amplified because concenftations frequently are in the low or even sub-ppb range. Most promising appears to be a model that helps in estimating, in arbitrary units, the overall selectivity of an analytical method on the basis of partial selectivity indices. Selectivity indices are nothing more than a combination of the above-mentioned tools with the experience obtained within the European Union from recognized laboratory experts (26). 

A number of techniques have been used previously for the study of state-selected ion-molecule reactions. In particular, the use of resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) [21] and threshold photoelectron photoion coincidence (TPEPICO) [22] has allowed the detailed study of effects of vibrational state selection of ions on reaction cross sections. Neither of these methods, however, are intrinsically capable of complete selection of the rotational states of the molecular ions. The TPEPICO technique or related methods do not have sufficient electron energy resolution to achieve this, while REMPI methods are dependent on the selection rules for angular momentum transfer when a well-selected intermediate rotational state is ionized in the most favorable cases only a partial selection of a few ionic rotational states is achieved [23], There can also be problems in REMPI state-selective experiments with vibrational contamination, because the vibrational selectivity is dependent on a combination of energetic restrictions and Franck-Condon factors.

Most ultramicrobiosensors use differential measurement to overcome the problems of interferences and electrode fouling. The practical use of these biosensors for direct measurement is limited by interferents, such as ascorbic acid, acetaminophen (paracetamol), uric acid, etc., which are present in complex matricies such as serum. The specificity of the biochemical system is compromised by the partial selectivity of the electrode. The electrode not only oxidizes the desired product (e.g., H2O2 formed in the enzymatic oxidation of glucose by glucose oxidase), but also any other species oxidizable at the working potential. This produces a larger current response and a positive error. 

An electrochemical flow detector, based on four working electrodes coated with different permselective film types, for use in flow-injection measurements of multiple nitroaromatic explosives was recently developed [18]. The resulting array response (Fig. 4) offers unique fingerprints of such explosive compounds. Electrochemical devices are extremely attractive for designing such e-nose-type multi-electrode arrays that combine several partially selective electrodes and lead to a distinct response pattern (signature) for mixtures of organic vapors without prior separation [2],...
