A new method was proposed to determine the nitrogen content of nitrocelluloses (NCs). It is based on the finding of a linear relationship between the nitrogen content and the molar ratio of nitrite-to-nitrate ions released after alkaline hydrolysis. Capillary electrophoresis was used to monitor the concentration of nitrite and nitrate ions. The influences of hydrolysis time and molar mass of NC...

In terahertz (THz) and far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopic measurements, weak absorption spectral features due to small quantities of test sample can be masked by undesirable etalon fringe artifacts caused by multiple reflections within a pellet or a rigid sample holder. A double-layered nitrocellulose (NC) membrane structure is proposed in this paper as an alternative holder for small quantities ...

We have used a recombinant bacteriophage that expresses the DNA-binding domain of C/EBP to optimize conditions for a screening technique that may facilitate the cloning of genes that encode sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. The method relies on the expression of cDNA inserts in bacteriophage lambda gt11. Fusion protein adsorbed onto nitrocellulose filters is probed with radioactive, doubl...
