  • Publication number: 20220412902
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method of preparing a sample for crystallographic analysis used for structure determination of a compound having a nucleophilic group based on the crystalline sponge method. The present invention provides a method of preparing a sample for crystallographic analysis used for structure determination of a compound having a nucleophilic group based on the crystalline sponge method, the method including the steps: (A) derivatizing the nucleophilic group of the compound, and (B) soaking the derivatized compound into a crystalline sponge. The method of the invention allows the structure (particularly, absolute configuration) of a compound which is not amenable to structural analysis based on the crystalline sponge method to be quickly and precisely determined by a simple procedure.

  • Publication number: 20220381708
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a novel method for determining the structure of a target substance contained in a multicomponent sample. The present invention provides a method of determining the structure of a target substance contained in a mixture of two or more substances, wherein the method includes the steps of: isolating the target substance from the mixture by means of supercritical fluid chromatography, soaking the isolated target substance into a crystalline sponge to produce a sample for crystallography, and performing a crystallographic analysis on the sample for crystallography. A volatile solvent can be used as a mobile phase in the supercritical fluid chromatography.

  • Patent number: 6033508
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a ribbon roll by joining a splice tape to a ribbon, is capable of accomplishing automatization to deal with splice tapes different in length and kind. This method comprises a ribbon supply process, an edit process for joining first and second splice tapes to the ribbon and a take-up process for rolling up the ribbon joined to the first and second splice tapes. In the edit process, the first and second splice tapes are joined by an adhesive tape sticking section and its feeding quantity is adjusted by an accumulator. On the other hand, the ribbon is drawn out by a given length from a supply unit and cut. A rotating bed 42 supporting the cut ribbon is rotated so that the end of the cut ribbon comes into an opposed relation to the end of the first or second splice tape. In this state, the ribbon and the splice tape are joined to each other.
