Open Access research that helps to deliver "better medicines"...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by the Strathclyde Institute of Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences (SIPBS), a major research centre in Scotland and amongst the UK's top schools of pharmacy.

Research at SIPBS includes the "New medicines", "Better medicines" and "Better use of medicines" research groups. Together their research explores multidisciplinary approaches to improve understanding of fundamental bioscience and identify novel therapeutic targets with the aim of developing therapeutic interventions, investigation of the development and manufacture of drug substances and products, and harnessing Scotland's rich health informatics datasets to inform stratified medicine approaches and investigate the impact of public health interventions.

Abstract

This study examined the range of carbon and hydrogen isotopes within a global set of gasolines to investigate the potential and limitations of isotopic analysis within environmental assessments of gasoline-contaminated sites. Bulk carbon and hydrogen isotope signatures within gasolines from the study had a range greater than 8 parts per thousand and 85 parts per thousand, respectively. The combination of both isotopes produced a highly discriminating two-dimensional (2D) isotope fingerprint, highlighting the potential of 2D fingerprinting to differentiate gasoline sources. Compound-specific carbon isotope analysis was also completed to investigate its application as a method for risk-based management and environmental forensics.
