There is presently no instrumentation that can provide (near) real time information on elemental composition of atmospheric aerosols. We describe an arrangement where air is sampled through a cyclone @30L/min with a 50% cutoff @ ~250nm. The particles deposit into a cup through which deionized water is continuously flowing. High purity HNO3 is added downstream and the mixed stream optionally flows...
Lysozyme (Lys) commonly presents in wines and are known to cause toxicological impact on human health. The need of highly sensitive and reliable detection methods are evident in such matrix. In this work, we developed a competitive aptamer based assay for detection of Lys by employing carboxylated magnetic beads as a support to immobilize the target molecule Lys. The used aptamer sequence was biotinylated...
The present article describes a portable and low cost fluorescence set-up designed and characterized for in-situ screening of Ochratoxin A (OTA) in cocoa samples at field settings. The sensing module (the set up) consists of a LED with the wavelength of 370–380nm and a color complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) micro-camera inbuilt at upright position of a black box to obtain an image of...
This work demonstrates the development of a folding based electrochemical aptasensor using methylene blue (MB) tagged anti-Ochratoxin A (OTA) aptamers. Different aptamer coupling strategies were tested using Hexamethylenediamine, polyethylene glycol, simple adsorption and diazonium coupling mechanism. The best sensitivity was recorded by oxidation of amines using hexamethylenediamine (HDMA) on screen...
A new coumarin based hydrazone (receptor 1) synthesized by modifying one of our earlier reported receptor detected fluoride ion selectively through naked eye in aq. DMSO (5:95, v/v). It was also able to detect fluoride through naked eye in a toothpaste sample. The addition of 1equiv. of fluoride as its tetrabutylammonium salt to the 5×10 −5 M aq. DMSO solution of the receptor 1 produced red...
The first guanine-based difunctional colorimetric receptor 8-[(4-nitrophenyl)azo]guanine (receptor 1) was designed, synthesized and characterized by IR, UV–vis, 1 H NMR and mass spectrometric analysis. The synthesized receptor 1 was able to recognize Cu II , Zn II and acetate ion through visible color changes in its DMSO and DMSO-H 2 O (95:5, v/v) solution. The binding...
Synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) is a rapid, sensitive and nondestructive method suitable for the analysis of multifluorophoric mixtures. The present study demonstrates the use of SFS and multivariate methods for the analysis of petroleum products which is a complex mixture of multiple fluorophores. Two multivariate techniques principal component regression (PCR) and partial least square...
This paper describes the evaluation of synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy (SFS) and excitation emission matrix fluorescence (EEMF) spectroscopy as means of monitoring transformer oil degradation. When accelerated thermal ageing method is used, the onset of degradation of transformer oil on 17th day and transformer oil with polypropylene and cellulosic paper on 23rd and 27th days is sensitively...
Organic ligand with carboxyhydrazide functional group was immobilised on the surface of silica gel and the metal binding capacity of the ligand-embedded silica was investigated. The functional group was covalently bonded to the silica matrix through a spacer of methylene groups by sequential reactions of silica gel with dibromobutane, malonic ester and hydrazine in different media. Surface area value...
