Sodium dodecyl sulfate 10 percent

Wash particles (e.g., 100 mg of 1 pm carboxylated latex beads) into coupling buffer (i.e., 50 mM MES, pH 6.0 or 50 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.2 buffers with pH values from pH 4.5 -7.5 may be used with success however, as the pH increases the reaction rate will decrease). Suspend the particles in 5 ml coupling buffer. The addition of a dilute detergent solution may be done to increase particle stability (e.g., final concentration of 0.01 percent sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)). Avoid the addition of any components containing carboxylates or amines (such as acetate, glycine, Tris, imidazole, etc.). Also, avoid the presence of thiols (e.g., dithiothreitol (DTT), 2-mercaptoethanol, etc.), as these will react with EDC and effectively inactivate it.

In Fig. 2, the weight ratio mx/m2 of hydrocarbon to water is plotted as a function of the concentration of surfactant in the continuous phase (in weight percent) when sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) is employed as emulsifier. The above ratio is calculated for the point at which a small amount of hydrocarbon remains as a distinct phase. The ratio mjm2 depends upon the nature of the hydrocarbon employed and increases with the surfactant concentration, more rapidly at lower concentrations. A similar behavior was observed for a non-ionic surfactant, Triton X-100 (Fig. 3), but the values of mllm2 are smaller in this case than in Fig. 2. This happens because the electrostatic repulsion responsible for the stability of the concentrated emulsion containing SDS is stronger than the steric repulsion involved in the stability of the emulsion containing Triton X-100.

Surfactant concentration (varied after polymerization) greatly affects the viscosity of associating polymer systems. Iliopoulos et al. studied the interactions between sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and hydrophobically modified polyfsodium acrylate) with 1 or 3 mole percent of octadecyl side groups [85]. A viscosity maximum occurred at a surfactant concentration close to or lower than the critical micelle concentration (CMC). Viscosity increases of up to 5 orders of magnitude were observed. Glass et al. observed similar behavior with hydrophobically modified HEC polymers. [100] The low-shear viscosity of hydrophobically modified HEC showed a maximum at the CMC of sodium oleate. HEUR thickeners showed the same type of behavior with both anionic (SDS) and nonionic surfactants. At the critical micelle concentration, the micelles can effectively cross-link the associating polymer if more than one hydrophobe from different polymer chains is incorporated into a micelle. Above the CMC, the number of micelles per polymer-bound hydrophobe increases, and the micelles can no longer effectively cross-link the polymer. As a result, viscosity diminishes. 

Analysis of urinary nicotine and cotinine has been widely studied. A study by Reynolds and Albazi [294] reported extraction of the analytes from urine followed by baseline resolution on a 40°C cyanopropyl column (A = 260 nm). Complete elution was achieved in <15 min when using a 3/97 IPA/water (50 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 2 with 0.1 M sodium dodecyl sulfate [SDS]) mobile phase. Plots of k vs. percent IPA show a decrease in retention from 0 to 5% IPA then an increase in retention starting at 8% IPA. The authors attribute this increase in K to the disruption of the SDS micelles. The mechanism appears to change from a micelle-based to an ion pair-mediated separation over this IPA range. Standard concentrations for both nicotine and cotinine covered the range from 0.2 to 3 ppm. 

Eight isoquinoline alkaloids (e.g., chelidonine, berberine, coptisine, dihydrosan-guinarine) were extracted from Chelidonium majus and resolved on a Cjg column (A = 290 nm) using a 46/10/44 acetonitrile/methanol/water (0.05 M tartaric acid with 0.5% sodium dodecyl sulfate) mobile phase [1172]. Peaks were slightly tailed. Elution was complete in 40 min. Standards of 0.01-0.28 mg/mL were used and 1 pL aliquots were injected. Capacity factors for all compounds were presented and plotted versus percent acetonitrile (43-47%), over which range the average capacity factor deceased by 40%. 

A typical formula for membrane fabrication consisted of an aqueous phase containing 1 1 0.5 weight percent piperazine sodium hydroxide dodecyl sodium sulfate, and a hexane phase containing 1.0 percent weight/volume of isophthaloyl chloride. This membrane exhibited up to 26 gfd and 98% seawater rejection (3.5% synthetic seawater, 1,500 psi, 25°C) and up to 4 gfd and 99.2% magnesium sulfate rejection (0.5% magnesium sulfate, 200 psi, 25°C). Unfortunately, seawater salt rejections in excess of 96% could not be produced routinely, and brackish water fluxes were too low to be attractive. 

When furfuryl alcohol was added as a comonomer to the THEIC, water fluxes were increased tenfold. In addition, the extremely high salt rejections characteristic of NS-200 were obtained, while the high organic rejections characteristic of the isocyanurate moiety were retained. A typical patent example of membrane fabrication uses a water solution of 1 2 2 1 weight percent THEIC fur-furyl alcohol sulfuric acid dodecyl sodium sulfate, deposited on microporous polysulfone and cured at 150°C for 15 minutes. This membrane, possessing a thin active layer 100 to 300 angstroms thick, showed 99.9% rejection and 12 gfd flux under seawater test conditions at 1,000 psi.
