The study of historical documents: morphine in Bulgakov´s famous manuscript

Mikhail Bulgakov was a recognized writer born in Kiev in 1891. His famous novel, The master and Margarita, criticizes the soviet society and the literature establishment. He wrote the novel by the end of his life. In these days, Bulgakov was suffering nephrosis that caused his death in 1940.(read more)

Magnetic solid phase extraction coupled to ambient ionization mass spectrometry

Direct coupling of microextraction techniques and ambient ionization mass spectrometry opens a door to rapid, selective and sensitive analyses that are quite attractive in the bioanalytical field. The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in this combination may be problematic since they are not fully compatible with MS although they have a great potential as sorbent in microextraction techniques.(read more)

Magnetomotive ionic liquids

The potential of ionic liquids (ILs) in the microextraction context is beyond any doubt. ILs, especially those that are liquid at room temperature (RTILs), present a negligible vapour pressure (attractive in HS-SDME), tuneable solubility in water (interesting in in-situ solvent formation technique) and they may be tailored to extract target analytes by the proper selection of the forming ions. (read more)
