Turing played a key role in breaking the German Enigma codes by developing a pioneering electromagnetic analyser – a "bombe" – as well as a system for statistical analysis of the ciphers to help in the codebreaking.
The poster presents THERESA (THE REtro-Synthesis Analyser), a novel, web-based, easy-to-use tool for the stepwise retrosynthetic analysis of a given target compound.
Monitoring the efficiency of the biofiltration system was carried out using a photoionization analyser, a commercial electronic nose (e-nose) and gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
Table top analyser XE-5000 (Sysmex, Norderstedt, Germany) offers, beside its use as a haematology analyser, a protocol for the quantification of red and white blood cells in body fluids such as CSF including the differentiation between polymorphonuclear and mononuclear cells.
All A1C measurements were made using ion-exchange chromatography via the Menarini HA-8160 analyseryser (A. Menarini, Berkshire, U.K).
Each time a sample was tested on the patient-dedicated analyser, a concurrent sample was drawn and tested on the hospital's bench-top analyser (Cobas b221; Roche Diagnostics).
Fasting plasma glucose concentrations were measured using an automated analyser with an enzymatic assay (Pureauto S GLU: Daiichi, Tokyo, Japan).
Generally, a mass spectrometer consists of an ion source, a mass analyser and a detection system.
Fasting insulin was measured by immunoassay (Abbott Laboratories, Maidenhead, UK) and fasting glucose was measured on a multichannel analyser using an enzymatic colorimetric slide assay (Ektachem 700; Johnson and Johnson Clinical Diagnostic Systems, Amersham, UK).
For gold-standard tests, an immunoturbimetric CRP assay was performed using a Beckman analyser and a chemiluminescent Elecsys BRAHMS PCT immunoassay using a Cobas e602 analyser.
This meter was calibrated with an HP-8510C network analyser inside an anechoic chamber at the University of Valencia.
