Automated Femtoliter Droplet-Based Determination of Oil–Water Partition Coefficient

EXPERIMENTALl ANALYSIS OF PARTITION COEFFICIENT IN Al-Mg ALLOYS

Because the partition coefficient is one of the most important parameters affecting microsegregation, the aim of this research is to experimentally analyse the partition coefficient in Al-Mg alloys. In order to experimentally measure the partition coefficient, a series of quenching experiments during solidification were carried out. For this purpose binary Al-Mg alloys containing 6.7 and 10.2 w...

Determination of partition coefficient by the change of main phase transition.

The molar partition coefficients of amphiphilic additives, e.g. local anesthetics, between the aqueous phase, the liquid crystal and the gel phase of lipid membrane can be determined based on a combination of phase transition data obtained at high and low concentrations of the lipid in aqueous phase. The data obtained at high lipid concentration allow to find the phase diagram lipid-additive in...

Experimental determination of the metal/silicate partition coefficient of Germanium: Implications for core and mantle differentiation

A simple method of determination of partition coefficient for biologically active molecules.

A simple method is presented for the determination of partition coefficient of an effector between water environment and biological material, based on concentration-dependent effects. The method allows the determination of partition coefficients for biological objects such as algae, bacteria and other microorganisms.

Large-scale femtoliter droplet array for digital counting of single biomolecules.

We present a novel device employing one million femtoliter droplets immobilized on a substrate for the quantitative detection of extremely low concentrations of biomolecules in a sample. Surface-modified polystyrene beads carrying either zero or a single biomolecule-reporter enzyme complex are efficiently isolated into femtoliter droplets formed on hydrophilic-in-hydrophobic surfaces. Using a c...
