A simple and sensitive HPLC-ICP-MS method for the accurate determination of Vitamin B12 in Fortified Breakfast Cereals and Multivitamin Tablet Reference Materials

April 10, 2013
Author(s)
Siva K. Chinthalapati, Lee L. Yu, John E. Schiel, Stephen E. Long
A sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) method has been developed for the determination of vitamin B12. The method was based on efficient isocratic separation with a

Salivary Antigen-5/CAP Family Members Are Cu 2+ -dependent Antioxidant Enzymes That Scavenge O 2 -. and Inhibit Collagen-induced Platelet Aggregation and Neutrophil Oxidative Burst

Teresa Assumpcao, Dongying Ma, Alexandra Schwarz, Karine Reiter, Jaime Santana, John Andersen, Jose Ribeiro, Glen Nardone, Lee L. Yu, Ivo Francischetti
The function of the antigen-5/CAP family of proteins found in the salivary gland of bloodsucking animals has remained elusive for decades. Antigen-5 members from the hematophagous insects Dipetalogaster maxima (DMAV) and Triatoma infestans (TIAV) were

Characterization of Perchlorate in a New Frozen Human Urine Standard Reference Material

October 1, 2012
Author(s)
Lee L. Yu, William C. Davis, Rabia Oflaz, Gregory C. Turk, Jeff M. Jarrett, Liza Valentin, Benjamin C. Blount, Dennis D. Leber, Eric L. Kilpatrick
Perchlorate, an inorganic anion, has recently been recognized as an environmental contaminant by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Assessment of human exposure to perchlorate requires measurement of the anion in urine. Although the

Characterization of Surface Accumulation and Release of Nanosilica During Irradiation of Polymer Nanocomposites with Ultraviolet Light

August 12, 2012
Author(s)
Tinh Nguyen, Bastien T. Pellegrin, Coralie Bernard, Savelas A. Rabb, Paul E. Stutzman, Justin M. Gorham, Xiaohong Gu, Lee L. Yu, Joannie W. Chin
Nanofillers are increasingly used for enhancing multiple properties of polymeric materials in many applications. However, polymers are susceptible to photodegradation by solar ultraviolet (UV) radiation Therefore, nanofillers in a polymer nanocomposite

Quantification of ligand packing density on gold nanoparticles using ICP-OES

February 18, 2012
Author(s)
Sherrie R. Elzey, De-Hao D. Tsai, Savelas A. Rabb, Lee L. Yu, Michael R. Winchester, Vincent A. Hackley
In this study, a prototypical thiolated organic ligand, 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), was conjugated on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and packing density was measured on an ensemble-averaged basis using inductively coupled plasma optical emission

EVALUATION OF A MICROWAVE-ASSISTED METAL-LABELING STRATEGY FOR QUANTIFICATION OF PEPTIDES VIA RPLC-ICP-MS AND THE METHOD OF STANDARD ADDITIONS

November 26, 2011
Author(s)
Steven J. Christopher, Eric L. Kilpatrick, Lee L. Yu, William C. Davis, blakely adair
NIST has performed preliminary research on applying a calibration methodology based on the method of standard additions to the quantification of lanthanide-labeled peptides via reverse-phase liquid chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma mass

A Human Urine Standard Reference Materials for Accurate Assessment of Arsenic Exposure

March 17, 2011
Author(s)
Lee L. Yu, Carl Verdon, William C. Davis, Gregory C. Turk, Kathleen Caldwell, Robert Jones, Brian Buckley, Ruimin Xie
Arsenic is a toxic element, and the toxicity of the element is dependent upon the molecular form it is in. Accurate assessments of arsenic exposure require the measurement of a complete panel of inorganic, organic, and metabolite As species in urine

Elemental Analysis of a Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Candidate Reference Material

October 15, 2010
Author(s)
Rolf L. Zeisler, Rick L. Paul, Rabia Oflaz, Lee L. Yu, Jacqueline L. Mann, William R. Kelly, Brian E. Lang, Stefan D. Leigh, Jeffrey A. Fagan
A material containing single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) together with other carbon species, cata-lyst residues, and trace element contaminants has been prepared by the National Institute of Standards and Technology for characterization and

Translational Considerations for Cancer Nanomedicine

September 1, 2010
Author(s)
Stephen T. Stern, Jennifer B. Hall, Lee L. Yu, Laura J. Wood, Giulio F. Paciotti, Lawrence Tamarkin, Stephen E. Long, Scott E. McNeil
There are many important considerations during preclinical development of cancer nanomedicines, including: 1) unique aspects of animal study design; 2) the difficulties in evaluating biological potency, especially for complex formulations; 3) the
