The retention behaviour of four active compounds from Sophora Flavescens Ait using three ionic liquids as mobile phase modifiers was examined. The effect of the pH and the amount of ionic liquid modifier on the retention of these compounds was determined in methanol/water (v/v) as the mobile phase containing different ionic liquids ranging in concentration from 0.1 mmol/L to 3.0 mmol/L. The ion...

A new non-fluorinated malonamide-based ionic liquid extractant was synthesized and investigated for the extraction behavior of europium(III) and other trivalent rare-earth ions from nitric acid medium. The extractant was the functionalized ionic liquid trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium N,N,N',N'-tetra(2-ethylhexyl)malonate, [P66614][MA], and it was used in combination with the non-fluorinated ion...

Nanopores have emerged as promising next-generation devices for DNA sequencing technology. The two major challenges in such devices are: (i) find an efficient way to raise the DNA capture rate prior to funnelling a nanopore, and (ii) reduce the translocation velocity inside it so that single base resolution can be attained efficiently. To achieve these, a novel soft nanopore comprising a solid-...

the density (d), speed of sound (u) and electrolytic conductivity (λ) for systems containing acetaminophen, ionic liquid {1-octyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide, [omim] br} and water have been measured at t = 293.15-308.15 k. the measured data have been applied to calculate, standard partial molar volume ( ), hepler’s constant , apparent molar isentropic compressibility (kφ), transfer volume ( ),...

Beef pancreas ribonuclease activity is markedly accelerated by increased ionic strength (14). Since certain physical properties of nucleic acids are known to be altered by this factor, it becomes of interest to determine whether salt concentration affects primarily the enzyme, the substrate, or both. A second factor of importance in ribonuclease (RNase) assays is that of substrate concentration...

We demonstrate a recycled ion-flux through heterogeneous nanoporous junctions, which induce stable ion concentration polarization with an electric field. The nanoporous junctions are based on integration of ionic hydrogels whose surfaces are negatively or positively charged for cationic or anionic selectivity, respectively. Such heterogeneous junctions can be matched up in a way to achieve cont...

Ion transport through nanopores is an important process in nature and has important engineering applications. To date, most studies of nanopore ion transport have been carried out with electrolytes of relatively low concentrations. In this paper, we report on ionic current modulation from the translocation of dsDNA through a nanopore under high ionic strength and with an electrolyte concentrati...
