  • Publication number: 20240100479
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to analysis of Hg(II) isotopes in the aqueous phase, and provides an in-situ enrichment method and an analytical method for Hg(II) isotopes in the aqueous phase. The in-situ enrichment method includes the following steps: conducting adsorption in the water sample by a diffusive gradient in thin-films (DGT) device to obtain an Hg(II)-adsorbed DGT device; where a binding gel of the DGT device is an NSBA gel; conducting elution on the NSBA gel in the Hg(II)-adsorbed DGT device to acquire an Hg(II)-containing eluate with a mercury concentration higher than or equal to 0.5 ng/mL; where the elution is carried out with an eluent of reverse aqua regia. In the in-situ enrichment method, the NSBA-DGT device only needs to be placed in the water sample to be investigated to perform in-situ Hg(II) adsorption without direct grab sampling.

    Abstract: A catheter reinforcement layer (100) and a catheter (10). The catheter reinforcement layer (100) includes a spring component (110) and at least one axial component (120). The at least one axial component (120) extends along the spring component (110) from a proximal end to a distal end, and has at least one intersection with the spring component (110). According to the catheter reinforcing layer (100), by introducing one or more axial components (120) into a reinforcing layer of an existing spring component (110), the axial modulus of the catheter (10) is increased, thereby avoiding axial deformation or even breakage of the tubular body of the catheter (10) due to axial force.
