Abstract

A method of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was established for the determination of pyriproxyfen residue in vegetables and fruits. The pyriproxyfen residue in the sample was extracted by acidified acetonitrile with the presence of sodium acetate buffer, and cleaned up by PSA (primary secondary amine) sorbent, and the separation was performed by ultrafast liquid chromatography (UFLC) on a CAPCELL PAK C18 column (50 mm x 2.0 mm, 3 microm) and the gradient elution of acetonitrile (containing 0.1% formic acid) and 2 mmol/L ammonium acetate solution (containing 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The calibration curve was linear between the peak area and the con centration of 2.5 - 50 microg/L with the correlation coefficient more than 0.9999. The limit of quantification of pyriproxyfen was 5 microg/kg. The average recoveries spiked at three concentrations of 5, 50 and 100 microg/kg ranged 84.7% -91.5%. The relative standard deviations (n = 10) were all less than 10%. The method is selective without interference and suitable for the determination of pyriproxyfen residue in vegetables and fruits.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
