Areas James Schaeffer is Knowledgeable in:
Isolation,purification and identification of fermentation products,analysis of blood components,synthesis of dyes,immobilization of biological materials
Techniques James Schaeffer Uses:
Analysis of the problem in a manner which might suggest various approaches to solution of the problem.
James Schaeffer's Problem Solving Skills:
- Isolation and identification of fermentation products
- Synthesis of photographic chemicals
- Coatings for analysis of blood components
- Enzyme Reactions for blood analysis and synthetic processes
- Development of chromatographic materials for purification of biological materials
- Immobilization of biological materials (enzymes,protein reactive materials)
James Schaeffer's Problem Solving Experience:
- I developed chromatographic materials for use in the purification of enzymes.
- I developed immobilized enzyme materials for use in the synthesis of organic acids and amino acids.
- I developed a novel method for the preparation of high quality 1,4-dialkylaminoquinizarins containing groups sensitive to oxidation in the alkylamino position of the dye molecule. The synthesis involved selective oxidation of a leuco dialkylaminoquinizarin. This dye was used in a commercial photographic system.
- I developed coatings for use in the analysis of blood components and medicinal products in blood ( Total protein,aspirin,acetaminophen,lithium).
