This paper presents an analytical method for the determination of minor metals in white cast iron fused buttons. This method enables the measurement of metals in cast iron with rapidity and excellent analytical results. Buttons of 40 g appear to be ideal but smaller button samples can be tolerated. The fused buttons have good homogeneity, very slight weight loss, and no significant change in composition. Metal cast spectrochemical samples are analyzed in an inert atmosphere utilizing a high voltage spark.

In this paper we review the cell-poking technique as an approach for investigating the mechanical properties of living cells. We first summarize the rationale for the technique and the mainly qualitative results obtained so far. Then we provide a technical description of the instrument as it is configured at present. This is followed by a discussion of the current status of analytical results available for interpreting cell-poking measurements. In the final section we apply these results to an analysis of unmodulated and modulated lymphocytes and neutrophils, and conclude that the mechanical response of these leukocytes to indentation is not consistent with simple models developed by previous investigators on the basis of micropipette-aspiration experiments.

Abstract The European Commission's Directorate General Joint Research Centre has organized several proficiency tests on the determination of acrylamide (AA) in food. This paper presents the results and outcome of a proficiency test that focused on the determination of AA in crispbread samples. One of the goals was the identification of the influence of different parameters such as analyte extraction or instrument calibration on the analytical results. A set of samples, containing 3 different crispbread samples as well as extracts of one crispbread sample and AA standard solutions, was shipped to each participant. A total of 42 European laboratories reported analytical results that were evaluated by applying internationally accepted protocols and procedures. The study found that, for each sample, the results of 4–8 laboratories were outside the range formed by the target value plus or minus the 2-fold of the target standard deviation; thus, they did not perform satisfactorily. In transferring this knowledge to the data of monitoring databases of AA in food, care must be taken that data are quality controlled, as it is likely that some of them may be biased.

Abstract We describe an adaptation of automated multiple flow-injection analysis instrumentation to an analysis for albumin in serum. The bromcresol green reaction was used to test the utility of the system. The approach yielded albumin results with excellent sensitivity, no measurable carryover, a relative standard deviation of less than 1%, good correlations with published procedures, and no measurable interferences. The simplicity and flexibility of the instrumentation and its performance integrity, as indicated by the analytical results, make this a viable clinical chemical tool.

Data from interlaboratory surveys for the determination of CA 125 (1987 to 1998) show large differences depending on the commercial kit used. Samples of the same material produced different analytical results in different interlaboratory surveys, thus showing that some kits did not have a satisfactory rate of reproducibility over a longer period of time.

AbstractA method for the determination of menthol in tobacco, in filters before and after smoking as well as in the smoke of mentholated cigarettes is presented which is based on the combination of steam distillation and liquid-Iiquid partition followed by gas chromatography on polypropylene glycol in the presence of benzylpropionate as an internal standard. The procedure also permits menthone to be quantitatively determined as a characteristic constituent of peppermint oils. Analytical results concerning reproducibility, recovery and sensitivity of the method are detailed. The transfer of menthol from the tobacco rod to the acetate filter and vice versa as a function of the storing period of mentholated cigarettes has been investigated as well as the menthol distribution due to the smoking process. A considerable selective retention of menthol by cellulose acetate filters could be demonstrated. Various mentholated cigarettes of different origin and of different menthol contents have comparatively been analysed.

The Asian bee mite (Varroa jacobsoni Oud.) causes variable damage in Hungarian apiaries due to the different and changing conditions. Plastic and wooden strips impregnated with synthetic pyrethroid-type active ingredients show a high efficacy against the mites. These treatments, however, may leave residues in bee products (honey, propolis, wax). After experimental treatment with Gabon PA 92, the levels of active ingredient (acrinathrin) residues were determined in honey and beeswax samples. The analytical results proved that the average concentration of acrinathrin residues was less than 0.01 mg/kg in honey and less than 0.10 mg/kg in beeswax. From the food-hygienic point of view it is favourable that the honey did not become ‘contaminated’ with acrinathrin during the experimental treatment. The analytical results serve as a basis for the registration of this veterinary product in Hungary.
