This method describes high yield in vitro synthesis of both capped and uncapped mRNA from a linearized plasmid containing the Gaussia luciferase (GLuc) gene. The RNA is purified and a fraction of the uncapped RNA is enzymatically capped using the Vaccinia virus capping enzyme. In the final step, the mRNA is transfected into HeLa cells and cell culture supernatants are assayed for luciferase activity.

Lossless Lines

2024
In electrical engineering, a lossless transmission line is characterized by a purely imaginary propagation constant and a resistive characteristic impedance. The ABCD parameters, which describe the relationship between the input and output voltages and currents, indicate an equivalent π circuit with an imaginary series impedance and a shunt admittance. This results in a transmission line that, when the product of the phase constant (beta) and the length of the line is less than pi, exhibits...

Tightening drives the PTFE liner against the container opening, compressing the liner across the contact area. This compression creates the physical barrier that separates the chemical contents from the cap and helps limit exposure at the closure interface. The sealing effect therefore depends not only on the liner material, but also on proper contact between the liner and vessel opening.
PTFE’s chemical resistance helps reduce the likelihood that the liner will contribute to contamination, degradation, or an unwanted reaction with stored contents. This property is especially relevant for reactive, corrosive, or solvent-based materials, where an unsuitable closure could compromise the sample or reagent. Choosing a PTFE-lined closure supports chemical compatibility at the container-cap boundary.
A PTFE liner protects the interface between the contents and cap, but reliable storage still requires an appropriate vessel and seal combination. If the container opening and closure do not provide suitable contact, the barrier may not preserve the contents effectively. In chemistry workflows, compatibility must therefore be considered for the complete container and closure system rather than the liner alone.
Select a container and closure combination appropriate for the chemical, position the PTFE liner at the opening, and screw the cap onto the vessel so the liner contacts the rim. Tightening compresses the liner and establishes the barrier. This straightforward sequence supports reagent storage, sample preparation, analytical work, and transport when the vessel and seal are suitably matched.
The closure is particularly relevant for containers holding reactive, corrosive, or solvent-based materials. These contents can make contamination, degradation, or unwanted reactions at the cap interface especially important concerns. Using a PTFE-lined cap in such cases can help protect the stored material, provided the overall vessel and seal are compatible with the chemical being handled.
Chemistry laboratories can use these closures during reagent storage, sample preparation, analytical workflows, and transport of chemically demanding solutions. Their value extends beyond storage because they help maintain a protected interface whenever a sample or reagent remains in a container. By supporting container compatibility and sample integrity, the caps are useful across several stages of laboratory handling.
