Spotting color

Instmments like colorimeters and spectrophotometers are used less often. These ate used primarily for manufacturing control of printing inks. Ftequentiy, however, inks other than yellow, magenta, and cyan ate used for spot-color appHcations, and in those instances a spectrophotometer ensures the correct match of an ink blend to standard. 

Figure 7.7 Peptide spot color intensity as a function of doubling dilutions of primary (PR) antibody. PR peptides and PR+ tissue sections were both placed on the same slides and stained with various dilutions of the PR mAb. Color intensity of the peptide spots (square symbols) or tumor cells (triangle symbols) was measured and plotted on the y-axis. The figure shows a linear decline in intensity with decreasing antibody concentrations for both the peptide spots and the tissue sections. Tissue color intensity is measured as optical density on a 0-2 scale. Peptide spot color is measured as mean pixel intensity on a 1-256 scale. Copied with permission from Sompuram et al.6...

After drying the plates, identify the food dyes by matching the spot colors and positions with those of the commercial colorants. Your instructor may request that you measure the Rf factors for this identification.

The test may be carried out directly on the residue from the alkaline-chloroform extract, or on the spot on a paper or thin-layer chromatogram, or on the material eluted from such a spot. Colors from crude extracts always tend to be duller than those obtained from pure materials owing to the charring of the impurities by the sulfuric acid. 

Conversion if sample is ink jet but bulk production is by screen-based print system. Ink jet printing uses process color, mixing as required. Screen-based printing is a spot color system, premixing colors beforehand.

TEC with both silica and aluminum oxide adsorbents has been used to separate and isolate tertiary PAs, sometimes with ion-pairing using lithium chloride, potassium chloride, or sodium iodide [28]. Unsaturated PAs can be detected on TLC plates after spraying with Erlich s reagent [28-30]. Calibration is obtained by comparison of spot color intensity with external reference standard alkaloids. PAs can be isolated from TLC plates by excising the PA spot or band and dissolving the alkaloids from the stationary phase with polar organic solvents. Spots on TLC plates can be scanned with instruments (densitometers) that can compare their intensity with those of standards of known concentration. By this means quantities of about 1 pg can be detected reasonably quickly. 

Patil and Shingare (1993) reported on TLC detection of certain benzodiazepines. Otsubo et al. (1995) detected benzodiazepines and zopiclone in human serum at 0.1-0.4 pg/ml by HPTLC Rf values and spot colors in three systems. Sarbu and Cimpan (1996) developed a quantitative TLC method using plates with a fluorescent indicator to determine certain 1,4-benzodiazepines in pharmaceuticals. They provided calibration curves for the quantitative analysis of diazepam, oxazepam, and chlordiazepoxide. 

The spots are identified under UV-Iight 366 nm and with spray reagents, like 0.2% ninhydrin in ethanol, 0.1 ml 1M HCI + 300 pi of 10% hexachloroplatinate (IV) acid solution + 20 ml of acetone + 0.2 ml of aqueous 20% Kl- solution and 1% starch solution/acetic acid/O.lM solution (1(X) 8 1) (see Table 3). The chromatographic details concerning decomposition or spot colors were discussed.
