Coupling continuous subcritical water extraction, filtration, preconcentration, chromatographic separation and UV detection for the determination of chlorophenoxy acid herbicides in soils.

Subcritical water extraction has been coupled with filtration, preconcentration and chromatographic analysis for the determination of acid herbicides in different types of soil. Two experimental designs were used for the optimization of the leaching step. The use of water as extractant in the continuous mode at a flow-rate of 1 ml/min and 85 degrees C was sufficient for quantitative extraction of the analytes. A static extraction time was unnecessary for reducing the extraction time to 1 h. A minicolumn containing C18-Hydra as sorbent proved an excellent material for the quantitative preconcentration of the herbicides prior to individual chromatographic separation. A flow-injection manifold was used as interface for coupling the four steps, thus allowing automation of the whole analytical process. Recoveries of the target analytes ranged between 94.2 and 113.1%, and repeatabilities, expressed as relative standard deviations, were between 0.61 and 6.83%.

Efficacy of permanent and retrievable vena cava filters: experimental studies and evaluation of a new device.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy of vena cava filters and to compare them with the new TrapEase filter. METHODS: Thrombus capture rates of 10 permanent and retrievable vena cava filters were tested in vitro in vertical and horizontal positions with thrombus diameters of 3 and 5 mm (length 30 mm) and tube diameters of 21 and 28 mm. Testing included the new TrapEase filter. Results compared statistically using Fisher's exact test (capture rates) and the Kruskal-Wallis test (construction). RESULTS: Best-ranked filters were the Bird's Nest, the TrapEase and the Simon Nitinol filters. The Tempofilter, the Greenfield and the Keeper filter performed worst. Thrombus capture rates were significantly higher in the vertical position and also higher for large thrombi and in the small cava diameter. Conical filters performed worse than filters with two or more filtration levels. CONCLUSION: Filters with two or more filtration levels show the highest filtration efficiency in vitro and can be recommended, especially for the critically ill who will probably not tolerate even small emboli. The TrapEase filter is a promising device and should be evaluated clinically.
