Background: The hemaPEN is a liquid microsampling device for the reproducible collection and storage of blood samples as dried spots, subsequent quantitative analysis. Materials & methods: We examined device's ability to collect accurate precise volumes, at different hematocrit levels, via in vitro studies using acetaminophen human blood. also investigated impact user training approaches on performance. Results: demonstrated acceptable volumetric accuracy precision, regardless medium used....

A convergent synthesis of a first generation dendrimer with biphenyl-based dendrons and hexaphenylbenzene core is reported. Suzuki coupling six biphenyl-dendrons the rigid hexakis(4-iodophenyl)benzene furnished title asterisk-cored in 60% yield. Twelve copies β-(1→6)-linked glucosamine-based oligosaccharides were then efficiently coupled acetylenyl surface groups via Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction to give series multivalent carbohydrate constructs that mimic globular nodules...

Self-initiated photografting polymerization is used to couple the polymerizable initiator monomer 2-(2-chloropropanoyloxy)ethyl acrylate a range of polymeric substrates. The technique requires only UV light surfaces. surface density can be varied by inclusion diluent or via selection and irradiation parameters. functionality demonstrated subsequent surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization. Surfaces are characterized x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry, atomic...

The major component of the matrix many bacterial biofilms is a linear polymer β-1,6-linked units N-acetylglucosamine (polysaccharide intercellular adhesin or poly-N-acetyl-β-1,6-d-glucosamine). In order to facilitate synthetic vaccine construction we have developed direct, inexpensive, and biologically compatible synthesis minimal building block this polymer, GlcNAc disaccharide, namely 6-O-[2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-d-glucopyranosyl]-2-acetamido-2-deoxy-d-glucopyranose.

Catalysts were invented to speed up chemical reactions, helping maximise yields from available resources. If the same logic is applied chemists themselves, what impact would this have on us Australian female talent in chemistry sector? This article aims provide information current problems faced by across categories of workplace culture, work–life balance, measures merit, and mentorship. It also serves as a call action for all who work sector be that catalyst (#catalystforchangeinchemistry)...
