Abstract We have developed two enzyme analyzers for use in "high-performance" liquid chromatography. In both systems two detectors are used, placed after the column effluent has been combined with assay reagent. In one system, an absorbance detector is placed before and after a post-column reaction coil. Peaks observed at one detector are subtracted from those at the other, to produce a two-point measurement of enzyme activity. The linear dynamic range was 17--1700 U/L for lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27). In the other system, two reaction coils were used and a single fluorescence detector was placed at the end of each coil. These coils were kept at different temperatures, and an automated switching valve diverted equal amounts of column effluent and reagent into both coils. The fluorescence readings were then subtracted to produce a differential measurement of enzyme activity. The linear dynamic range was 20--1000 U/L. We used both systems to chromatographically analyze lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes, and could separately determine both the distribution and activity of sample isoenzymes.

<p>The article demonstrates the importance of using a suitable approach to compensate for dead time relate count losses (a certain measurement artefact) whenever short, but potentially strong transient signals are to be analysed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Findings strongly support the theory that inadequate time resolution, and therefore insufficient compensation for these count losses, is one of the main reasons for size underestimation observed when analysing inorganic nanoparticles using ICP-MS, a topic still controversially discussed.</p>
