2. 1. New methods for determination of airborne pollutants : Focus on tetrabromobisphenol A, organophosphate triesters and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

   Author : Johanna Tollbäck; Ulrika Nilsson; Peter Haglund; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Air sampling; sampling methods; indoor air; SPE; SPME; extraction; dynamic extraction; online coupling; SWE; subcritical water extraction; GC MS; LC MS; organophosphate triesters; PAH; tetrabromobisphenol A; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry; analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis concerns the development and evaluation of new methods of sampling and analysis of organic pollutants in the indoor and outdoor environment. In Paper I, the development of a new method was reported for the determination of the brominated flame retardant tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) in air using sampling with glass fiber filter and polyurethane foam (PUF), ultrasonic solvent extraction and liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (LC-ESI/MS).

4. 2. Determination of biomarkers for lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress : Development of analytical techniques and methods

   Author : Kristina Claeson Bohnstedt; Bo Karlberg; Niels Heegaard; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; capillary electrophoresis; mass spectrometry; electrospray; porous graphitic carbon; oxidative stress; lipid peroxidation; biomarker; malondialdehyde; hydroxynonenal; isoprostane; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : Oxidative stress can be defined as a state of disturbance in the pro-oxidant/antioxidant balance in favour of the former, leading to potential damage. Processes associated with oxidative stress involve reactive oxygen species and radicals and can result in elevated levels of oxidatively modified or toxic molecules that can cause cellular malfunction, and even cell death.

5. 3. Variance Reduction in Analytical Chemistry : New Numerical Methods in Chemometrics and Molecular Simulation

   Author : K. Magnus Åberg; Sven P. Jacobsson; Richard G. Brereton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; chemometrics; pulse-coupled neural networks; peak alignment; class separability; molecular dynamics; Monte Carlo; expanded ensembles; free energy; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis is based on five papers addressing variance reduction in different ways. The papers have in common that they all present new numerical methods. READ MORE

6. 4. Characterisation of starch: development of analytical methods

   Author : Gunilla Nilsson; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; substitution pattern; microdialysis; HPAEC-PAD; NMR; biosensor; IMER; potato amylopectin starch; amylose; amylopectin; chain length; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : Starch, comprised of amylose and amylopectin, is a very complex biopolymer. Different methods are therefore needed for the investigation of the molecular structures of amylose and amylopectin. In this thesis analytical methods have been developed and various techniques were combined for the characterisation of starch. READ MORE

7. 5. Electrochemical Aspects of Miniaturized Analytical Platforms

   Author : Oliver Klett; Frank-Michael Matysik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Analytical chemistry; electrochemical detection; microanalytical systems; on-chip CE; ESI; Analytisk kemi; Analytical chemistry; Analytisk kemi; Analytical Chemistry; Analytisk kemi;

   Abstract : This thesis ties some electrochemical aspects of development and fabrication of an analytical system on a microchip together. These aspects develop through the fundamentals of amperometric detection in microsystems and microfabrication via the interaction of electrochemical detection and electrophoretic separation finally to the interfacing of a microsystem to the macro world.
