Abstract Compounds with primary amino groups react with o-phthalaldehyde in solution to yield highly fluorescent products. This reaction is now in wide use for detecting amino acids and amines in liquid-chromatography effluents. We report here a method for using o-phthalaldehyde to detect primary amines in the effluent of a gas-liquid-chromatographic column. The effluent gas, nominally 20 mL/min, is delivered to a scrubber consisting of a small-bore, simulated capillary chromatographic column that is simultaneously supplied with 1 mL/min of the reagent solution. The liquid effluent of the scrubber, separated from the gas, is drawn through the flow cell of a fluorometer. Short-chain amines and ammonia were quantitatively scrubbed. The response of the fluorometer was directly proportional to the number of nanomoles injected into the column. Less than a nanomole of amine was detectable. Comparison of results with those from a hydrogen flame-ionization detector showed minimal additional peak broadening or compromise of resolution. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using highly specific, as well as sensitive, liquid-chromatographic detection methods for gas-liquid chromatography.

Sectioning quality of epoxy resins can be improved by the addition of a 1% silicone 200 fluid (Dow Corning), however this produces a softer block. To compensate, a harder plastic has been used for embedding various tissues encountered in our pathology laboratory. Exact amounts of the plastic mixture can be directly made up for embedding as shown: The chart reveals a Poly/Bed 812 (WPE 145) to anhydride ratio of 1:0.7 and a NMA to DDSA ratio of 7:3. 1% silicone fluid is added to above mixtures.Due to impurities within the DDSA and NMA, the polymerized epoxy blocks vary in darkness and appear to affect sectioning quality. After discussing this problem with Polysciences Inc., they have agreed to purify their anhydrides in an effort to standardize the consistency of the plastic.

AbstractThe surface activity of carbon black (CB) is an important factor affecting the reinforcement of rubber. The quantitative determination of the surface activity (surface free energy) of CB is of great significance. A simplified formula is obtained to determine the free energy of CB surface through theoretical analysis and mathematical derivation. The surface free energy for four kinds of industrial CBs were measured by inverse gas chromatography, and the influential factors were studied. The results showed that the aging time of the chromatographic column plays an important role in accurate measurement of the surface free energy of CB, in comparison with the influences from the inlet pressure and carrier gas flow rate of the chromatographic column filled with CB. Several kinds of industrial CB were treated at high temperature, and the surface free energy of CB had a significant increase. With the increase of surface free energy, the maximum torque was decreased significantly, the elongation at break tended to increase, the heat generation of vulcanizates was increased, and the wear resistance was decreased.
