An inexpensive, microcomputer-based, video densitometer for quantitating thin-layer chromatographic spots.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An inexpensive video densitometer based on an Apple II microcomputer using commercially available components was developed. The device was used to quantitate charred lipid and colored spots on thin-layer chromatography plates. The method is useful for lipid samples weighing 0.1 to 4 micrograms on high-performance plates and 1 to 20 micrograms on ordinary plates. The software automatically corrects for baseline drift due to dirt or nonuniformity in the plate.

Quantitation of thin-layer chromatograms with an Apple II computer-based videodensitometer.
An inexpensive, high-speed densitometer made from an Apple II computer, a black-and-white video camera, and an image digitizing board is described. By supplementing the computer with a very fast coprocessor, one can obtain a measurement of a typical thin-layer spot in 30-40 s. Only minimal electronic expertise is required for assembling the system from the commercially available components. Coe...
متن کاملThin-layer chromatographic in situ analysis of insect ecdysones via fluorescence-quenching.
The possibility of quantitating insect ecdysones in situ on thin-layer chromatographic plates was examined. Two approaches were evaluated: 1) the induction of ecdysone fluorescence by sulfuric acid treatments and 2) the fluorescence-quenching of fluorescent thin-layer chromatographic plates by ecdysones. The fluorescence-quenching method was found to be most suitable and had a linear response r...

1-Alkyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids (tetrafluoroborate, L-(þ)-lactate and ethyl sulfate) were used as mobile phase additives to assess the effect of its anionic part on the retention mechanism of perazine in pharmaceutical formulation in reversed-phase highperformance thin-layer chromatography (RP-HPTLC) method. In all cases, significant changes and improvements in the retention fac...

متن کاملA microcomputer-based image analyzer for quantitating neurite outgrowth.
An automated device that recognizes and quantitates neurite outgrowth from goldfish retinal explants is described. The system components include a video camera-inverted microscope and an Apple II microcomputer with an attached Motorola 68000 coprocessor. Values for neurite outgrowth were generated within 30 s, required no user input other than defining the microscopic field, and correlated well...
