An analytical test element for blood analyses is provided having an application site and a microfluidic channel structure in fluid communication with the application site. The channel structure includes at least first and second analytical channels for receiving first and second portions of a blood sample applied to the application site. The first analytical channel includes a first analytical site to determine the total haemoglobin value (Hb) of the blood sample. The second analytical channel includes a second analytical site to determine a glycohaemoglobin value (HbA1c) of the blood sample.

The present invention relates to a mineral processing technology and method for refractory chalcopyrite ores, particularly to a mineral processing technology and method for the separation of chalcopyrite from multiple natural types of copper ores containing chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, talc and serpentine, which belongs to the technical field of mineral processing. It's characterized by: conducting a two-stage grinding on the chalcopyrite ore, with each grinding stage followed by size grading, and treating ores in different size fractions separately, wherein coarse-grain ores are separated in the presence of xanthate, with calcium oxide and CMC controlling the pH and acting as depressor respectively, while fine-grained ores are subjected to rougher in the presence of kerosene, and subsequently subjected to cleaner in the presence of xanthate.

A method of analysing a sample includes providing a first part of the sample and a second part of the sample. A first analysis is conducted on the first part of the sample and the results of the first analysis are considered. A second analysis is conducted on the second part of the sample, the second analysis being conducted according to a procedure using a value for each of one or more characteristics of the procedure. The consideration of the results of the first analysis is used to determine whether the value for one or more of the characteristics of the procedure is changed to a different value. The second analysis is started before the results of the first analysis are obtained.

Methods and apparatus are described for the processing (for example washing, incubation, etc.) of particles in which the particles suspended in a first fluid are introduced under laminar flow conditions into at least one first microchamber or first region of the same, in which a second fluid is introduced under laminar flow conditions into at least one second region of the microchamber or of a second microchamber, in such a way as not to mix with the first fluid, and in which at least one field of force acting on the particles is activated in the microchamber(s), to provoke a shift of the particles alone in a predetermined direction and to transfer the same in suspension into the second fluid; an apparatus is preferably used including at least three microchambers n microchambers arranged in sequence with each other in one direction and each connected with the microchamber immediately before it and after it with two orifices offset from each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of sequence of the microchambers.

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a compound of the general Formula (I), comprising: a) reacting a compound of the general Formula (II) with a compound of the Formula III R2COOH and a compound of the general Formula IV R3NC under such conditions that compound I is formed, wherein R1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aromatic or non-aromatic, mono-, di- or tricyclic, or heterocyclic structure, and R2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aromatic or non-aromatic, mono-, di- or tricyclic, or heterocyclic structure, and R3 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl structure. In further aspect the subject invention relates to the use of the obtained products as intermediates for various peptidomimetics, and preferably as a building block in a convergent synthesis of prolyl dipeptide structures.

The invention discloses a sampling membrane and a sampler capable of enriching heavy metals in ambient air and an application method of the sampler. The sampling membrane comprises a nanometer fiber membrane and an air-permeable supporting padding arranged below the nanometer fiber membrane. The sampler comprises the sampling membrane and a sampling clamp; the sampling clamp is composed of an upper cone and a lower cylinder, wherein the upper surface of the cone is horizontal, the cylinder is composed of an upper cylinder and a rotary lower cylinder, the side surfaces of the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder are provided with uniformly distributed vertical ridges, the vertical ridges on the upper cylinder and the lower cylinder are aligned by rotating the lower cylinder, so fixation of the sampling membrane on the horizontal surface of the sampling clamp is realized. After heavy metals in air are acquired by using the sampler, a filter membrane is taken out and put into a centrifuge tube filled with a buffer solution, a solution is used for desorption of the heavy metals on the filter membrane, and after desorption, the solution is determined. According to the invention, detection sensitivity can be substantially improved, pre-treatment of a sample is easy and feasible, and nanometer fiber filter membranes with different functions are used for different detection objects, thereby improving absorption and acquisition efficiency.

A metallic structure is provided on a surface of a substrate. A component having a longer wavelength than excitation light is detected from luminescence from fixation positions of biomolecules and emitted from a material other than the biomolecules, and is used for photometrical analysis. As the structure, usable is a particulate (a metallic structure of a size not larger than a wavelength of the excitation light), a minute protrusion, or a thin film with minute apertures, which are made of a metal such as gold, chrome, silver or aluminum. In the case of the particulate or the minute protrusion, photoluminescence of the structure is detected with a biomolecule being fixed thereon. In the case of the thin film with minute apertures, Raman scattered light of specimen solution around the biomolecules, and photoluminescence of the metallic structure near the biomolecules are detected with biomolecules being fixed in the apertures.

A smear preparation apparatus comprises a blood processing unit, a washing unit, a controller, an information obtaining unit. The controller changes the washing condition for washing after processing a blood sample to a second washing condition which is stronger than the first washing condition when abnormal blood cells occur in the blood sample.
