    摘要: The present invention provides photo-cleavable anionic surfactants, particularly 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate (Azo) and sodium 4-hexylphenylazosulfonate derivatives, which can be rapidly degraded upon UV irradiation, for top-down and bottom-up proteomics. These surfactants can effectively solubilize proteins and peptide fragments with performance comparable to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and are compatible with mass spectrometry analysis of the solubilized proteins and peptide fragments. Top-down proteomic studies using the present photo-cleavable anionic surfactants has allowed the detection of 100-fold more unique proteoforms as compared to controls and has enabled the solubilization of membrane proteins for comprehensive characterization of protein post-translational modifications. In addition, the present photo-cleavable anionic surfactants are also suitable for dissolving polypeptides in bottom-up proteomic experiments including extracellular matrix proteomics, and are suitable as a substitute for SDS in gel electrophoresis.

    摘要: Operations performed according to the example techniques described herein include controlling a probe to pierce a stopper of a container containing a substance, where the stopper provides an air-tight seal for the container, and where the air-tight seal supports an internal pressure in the container. The operations also include detecting the internal pressure based on information from a pressure sensor; determining that the internal pressure is not at a target pressure and, based on determining that the internal pressure is not at the target pressure, controlling the probe either to aspirate air from the container or to dispense air into the container in order to move the internal pressure toward the target pressure.

    摘要: Methods for determining a volume of stored gas within a rock sample includes loading a rock sample into an overburden cell. A hydrocarbon gas at a gas pressure is applied to the rock sample and a confining fluid at a confining pressure is applied to the overburden cell. The confining pressure and the gas pressure are increased until a first pressure and temperature condition is met. With the rock sample maintained at the first temperature and pressure condition, a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer is used to scan the rock sample and measure a hydrocarbon gas volume within the rock sample. This measured hydrocarbon gas volume is then corrected using a Real Gas Index to determine the volume of stored gas within the rock sample.

    摘要: To provide an automatic analyzer capable of relaxing the effect of a previously created mixed liquid when a new mixed liquid is created. An automatic analyzer according to the present disclosure: is configured so as to create a second mixed liquid after a first mixed liquid is created; and introduces a relaxation reagent to relax the effect of a first reagent remaining in a mixed liquid chamber when the second mixed liquid is created into the mixed liquid chamber on the basis of characteristics of the first mixed liquid.
