Integrated flow-injection processing for on-line quantification of plasmid DNA during cultivation of E. coli.

An integrated flow-injection processing (FIP) system for the quantification of plasmids during cultivation is described. The system performs on-line sampling, cell lysis, and quantification of plasmids in an integrated manner during cultivation of E. coli. The system was operated by using a miniaturized expanded-bed column which can be used for handling samples containing cells and cell debris without interfering with the binding analysis. Two types of detectors (one measuring UV absorbance at 254 nm and a fluorometer) are used for on-line plasmid detection. The system was developed using standard solutions and it was successfully applied in monitoring plasmid contents during a cultivation of E. coli.

The use of real time video magnification for the pre-clinical teaching of crown preparations.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect on the undergraduate learning process of using an alternative method designed to enhance the visual demonstration of taper on full veneer crown preparations (better understanding of the value of taper on preparations early in the teaching programme in restorative dentistry). DESIGN: A comparison between the conventional teaching of full veneer crown preparations and the same teaching with the additional use of a magnified real time video display using a surgical microscope was investigated in this study. OUTCOME MEASURES: The degree of taper was measured for replica full crown preparations and results compared between different cohorts of undergraduates and experimental conditions. RESULT: Undergraduates taught using the real time video produced more accurately tapered preparations. This ability was retained over one year. CONCLUSIONS: A possible explanation for the result was that the use of magnification improved the undergraduates' precise understanding of taper by enhancing their ability to evaluate this critical measurement during the teaching process.

Field portable XRF analysis of environmental samples.

One of the critical factors for successfully conducting contamination characterization, removal, and remedial operations at hazardous waste sites is rapid and appropriate response to analyze samples in a timely fashion. Turnaround time associated with off-site analysis is often too slow to support efficient utilization of the data. Field portable X-ray fluorescence (FPXRF) techniques provide viable and effective analytical approaches to meet on-site analysis needs for many types of environmental samples. Applications include the in situ analysis of metals in soils and sediments, thin films/particulates, and lead in paint.
