Change: detection and modification.

Abstract

Because human physiology is always changing, one of the challenges for those interested in biofeedback applications is how to establish techniques to determine if the biofeedback has altered the physiology. This paper explores some of the areas of concern and some solutions that have been reported.

Semi-automated liquid--liquid back-extraction in a 96-well format to decrease sample preparation time for the determination of dextromethorphan and dextrorphan in human plasma.

A semi-automated, 96-well based liquid-liquid back-extraction (LLE) procedure was developed and used for sample preparation of dextromethorphan (DEX), an active ingredient in many over-the-counter cough formulations, and dextrorphan (DOR), an active metabolite of DEX, in human plasma. The plasma extracts were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS). The analytes were isolated from human plasma using an initial ether extraction, followed by a back extraction from the ether into a small volume of acidified water. The acidified water isolated from the back extraction was analyzed directly by LC-MS-MS, eliminating the need for a dry down step. A liquid handling system was utilized for all aspects of liquid transfers during the LLE procedure including the transfer of samples from individual tubes into a 96-well format, preparation of standards, addition of internal standard and the addition and transfer of the extraction solvents. The semi-automated, 96-well based LLE procedure reduced sample preparation time by a factor of four versus a comparable manually performed LLE procedure.

FIP: a highly automated beamline for multiwavelength anomalous diffraction experiments.

FIP is a French Collaborating Research Group (CRG) beamline at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) dedicated exclusively to crystallography of biological macromolecules, with a special emphasis on multiwavelength anomalous diffraction data collection in the 0.7-1.81 A wavelength range. The optics, consisting of long cylindrical grazing-angle mirrors associated with a cryocooled double-crystal monochromator, delivers an optimal beam in the corresponding energy range. The high level of automation, which includes automated crystal centring, automated data-collection management and data processing, makes the use of this beamline very easy. This is illustrated by the large number of challenging structures that have been solved since 1999.
