Estimation of physicochemical properties using supercritical fluid chromatography
1997
Sunol, S.G. | Mierau, B. | Serifoglu, I. | Sunol, A.K.
The selection of chromatographic techniques in determination of physicochemical properties over conventional static methods is due to quick data turnaround with such systems and readily available commercial equipment. Supercritical fluid chromatography is and can be applied to physicochemical property estimation and its use for this purpose has received considerable attention especially more recently. Moreover, some techniques that are used for determining properties of gas-solid systems using gas chromatography can easily be applied to supercritical fluid chromatography.

The measurement and induction of mixed function oxyigenases (MFOs) of limnetic gastropods were investigated to estimate their suitability as biomarkers. A determination of MFO activities was performed through the measurement of ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase (EROD), pentoxy-(PROD) and benzoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase-activity (BROD). Optimal measuring conditions of these activities were investigated in preparations of the digestive gland of 4 species of limnetic gastropods. Results indicate that MFO-activity inhibiting substances are accumulating in the microsomal pellet, the fraction commonly used for the measurement of MFO-activities. Therefore, the fraction used for induction studies was the postmitochondrial supernatant (PMS). EROD, PROD, and BROD activity ofPlanorbis planorbis andPlanorbis carinatus were measured after a treatment with Aroclor 1254 for 1–17 days. Maximal induction of EROD and PROD were 6 and 10 times the value in the control group ofP. carinatus, respectively induction inP. planorbis was lower. BROD-activity could not been measured inP. planorbis. InP. carinatus, BROD-activity increased to a maximum of 2 times after traetment with Aroclor 1254. The level of induction of EROD-activity is comparable to results described in analog studies with fish.
