The dynamics of single giant deoxyribonucleic acid (T4GT7DNA, 165 600 base pairs) molecules was examined near and at the toluene/water, toluene-trioctylamine mixtures/water, and trioctylamine/water interfaces by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy. The results were considerably affected by the trioctylamine content.

The sorbate content of commercial yogurt samples is determined by reverse phase liquid chromatography following ion-pair extraction with tri-n-octylamine. Mean recoveries (70-88%), precision (1.1-3.3% RSD), and detection limit of the method are presented for sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and saccharin.
