A gas chromatographic procedure was developed for the determination
of nanogram quantities of hydrocyanic acid using a
flame ionization detector. Excellent chromatograms were obtained
on a porous polyaromatic polymer column (Porapak Q) at 60°C. The
procedure was employed for the analysis of HCN in aqueous cyanide
solutions. Solutions as low...
Laboratory-based testing does not allow for the sufficiently rapid return of data to enable optimal therapeutic monitoring of patients with metabolic diseases such as phenylketonuria (PKU). The typical turn-around time of several days for current laboratory-based testing is too slow to be practically useful for effective monitoring or optimizing therapy....
Developmental bisphenol A (BPA) exposure is associated with adverse behavioral
effects, although underlying modes of action remain unclear. Because BPA is a
suspected xenoestrogen, the objective was to identify sex-based changes in adult
zebrafish social behavior developmentally exposed to BPA (0.0, 0.1 or 1 μM) or one of
two control...
