Development and validation of an alternative method for ergosterol determination in alder leaves using liquid-liquid extraction and LC-MS/MS after saponification by Björn Kusebauch, Stefan Bader, Steffen Carl

“…The method was validated for alder leaves at 10 µg/g dw (LOQ) and 500 µg/g dw with mean recoveries between 95.1 and 100.2 % (relative standard deviations < 10 %) and has been successfully applied for the measurement of fungicide effects on leaf litter associated aquatic fungi. • Selective and flexible analytical method for ergosterol quantification in alder leaves using LLE and LC-MS/MS instead of SPE and HPLC-UV • Optional use of 7-dehydrocholesterol as internal standard to allow for compensation of volumetric variations during sample preparation and signal drift in LC-MS/MS • Method validation for three mass transitions according to guidance document SANTE/2020/12830 including matrix effect evaluation and stability investigations…”

METHOD FOR MEASURING ENERGY IN HEAT SUPPLY SOURCES by V. A. Bulanin

“…This study was aimed at determining the actual flow rate of a gaseous working fluid by the pressure drop in the constriction device with its changing parameters (speed, pressure, temperature, gas composition).Method. Since the pycnometric method provides high accuracy in determining the density and is simpler than the calorimetric method for determining the calorific value, the value of the latter can be checked using the dependence proposed in the article. …”

Association of Enzyme Inhibition with Methods of Museum Skin Preparation by L. Malcolm Hall, Mark S. Willcox, David S. Jones

“…This report: (i) demonstrates that while some methods of museum preparation inhibit both proteinase K digestion and the PCR, others do not; (ii) describes a change in buffer conditions that reduces proteinase K enzyme inhibition during tissue digestion; and (iii) uses electron-dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDXA) to show that the preparation methods for museum-preserved skin are often more complex than the treatment description provided with samples and also suggests that some of these descriptions are incorrect.…”
