 * ALT1: ... that bioanalytical chemist Cynthia Larive uses NMR and mass spectroscopy to authenticate the contents of pomegranate juice?
 * ALT2: ... that Cynthia Larive has developed a microcoil NMR probe that can analyze as little as 25 nanoliters of sample? Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 20:47, 23 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg The article is new enough, long enough (~2900 bytes of prose), clearly notable, and well enough sourced, with no copyvio detected. The main hook is short enough, but there are two issues with it: (1) "authenticate" is not in the article in connection with heparin and I don't know what it is supposed to mean for heparin. It does appear in the article with respect to foodstuffs, but that's a different claim. (2) The description of what heparin is also does not appear in the article. And ALT2 seems too WP:TECHNICAL to me. But ALT1 doesn't have any of those problems, is interesting, and is properly sourced. So, the verdict: good to go with ALT1. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:21, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
