acetaminophen; caffeine; carbon; desorption; inorganic ions; ionization; organic matter; personal care products; rain; sandy loam soils; sediments; sulfamethoxazole
Abstract:
... In the present work, the sorption of pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) (acetaminophen, atenolol, carbamazepine, caffeine, naproxen and sulphamethoxazole) onto the natural organic matter (NOM) and the inorganic surfaces of a natural sandy loam sediment was quantified separately. The quantification was based on the PPCP charge, their degree of ionisation, their octanol-water partitio ...

Subject:
acetaminophen; aspirin; brushes; caffeine; cocaine; cross contamination; desorption; dusting; illicit drugs; ionization; magnetism; mass spectrometry; methadone; powders; squirrels; therapeutics
Abstract:
... The process of dusting powders over latent fingermarks was shown to transfer drug contact residues between adjacent marks. This was seen for marks contaminated after contact with two drugs of abuse (cocaine and methadone) and three therapeutic drugs (caffeine, aspirin and paracetamol). The powders used were a commercial black powder, and α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid both of which also act as ion ...

Subject:
caffeine; desorption; detection limit; ionization; liquids; mass spectrometry; preservatives; quantitative analysis; screening; standard deviation; sunscreens
Abstract:
... Ambient ion sources for mass spectrometry have been frequently reported in the past 10 years. The most attractive features of these ion sources are that they are fast and an easy way to analyze various samples. The microwave induced plasma desorption ionization source, the MIPDI source, is one among them. In this study, the qualitative and quantitative behavior of the MIPDI source has been demonst ...

Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Phthalate esters (PAEs), pharmaceuticals, and personal care products (PPCPs) are used in industry, biosciences, agriculture, animal husbandry, food industry, and by humans. The aim of this study was to understand the occurrence, spatial distribution, and temporal variation of six phthalate esters and pharmaceuticals in river sediments in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Surface sediments we ...

Subject:
aerosols; caffeine; cellulose; gases; ionization; ions; pyrolysis
Abstract:
... The design and operation of an inexpensive, miniature low-temperature plasma ion source is detailed. The miniature low-temperature plasma ion source is operated in a “flow-through” configuration, wherein the gaseous or aerosolized analyte, caffeine or pyrolyzed ethyl cellulose, in a carrier gas is used as the plasma gas. In this flow-through configuration, the sensitivity for the caffeine standard ...
