In this work, a portable kit was developed for convenient high-throughput trace analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) after dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) process. This portable kit contains three sealed reagent tubes (labeled as T1, T2 and T3), a self-made well plate, and a portable Raman spectrometer. The reagent tube...
A novel solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fiber was fabricated by direct electrodeposition of polyaniline (PANI) coated the titania nanotube arrays in situ grown on the titanium wire followed by carbonization at 500°C under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting titanium-based fiber with nitrogen-enriched carbonaceous material coated titania nanotubes (N-C/TiO2NTs/Ti) showed better extraction performance...
Cysteine (Cys) and histidine (His) both play indispensable roles in many important biological activities. An enhanced Cys level can result in Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. Likewise, His plays a significant role in the growth and repair of tissues as well as in controlling the transmission of metal elements in biological bases. Therefore, it is meaningful to detect Cys and His simultaneously...
Highly bioaccumulated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have cause health concerns because of their carcinogenic properties. PAHs could migrate to food from contaminated food contact materials. In this study, a hyphenated technique combining surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) with surface microextraction was developed for in-situ on site screening of PAHs on food contact materials. Methanol...
A novel flower-like nanostructure was successfully in situ fabricated on the surface of nitinol wire through Fenton’s oxidation for the first time. It was found that the densely immobilized coating on the surface of the nitinol fiber was composed of nickel and titanium oxide nanocomposite (NiO/TiO2NC). The NiO/TiO2NC coated fiber was used to extract aromatic compounds coupled with high performance...
In this study, hypercrosslinked strong cation-exchange polymer resins (HXLPP-SCX) were synthesized and employed as selective sorbents for the solid-phase extraction (SPE) of basic purine metabolites associated with gout. The HXLPP-SCX material was prepared based on hypercrosslinking reactions and sulfonated with concentrated H2SO4. This synthetic procedure is facile and efficient without using highly...
In this work, a novel Cu2+-mediated core–shell bovine hemoglobin imprinted superparamagnetic polymers were synthesized. First, carboxyl group directly-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles were produced by a facile one-pot hydrothermal method. Next, copper ions were introduced to chelate with carboxyl groups and further bonded with template bovine hemoglobin as co-functional monomer. Then, functional...
In this work, we presented a simple, label-free and rapid-responsive fluorescence assay for iodide (I−) detection based on “molecular beacon (MB)”-hosted thioflavin T (ThT), achieving a limit of detection as low as 158nM. The proposed method exhibited very good selectivity to I− ions over other anions interference due to the strong binding force between I− ions with Hg2+. Upon the addition of I− ions,...
Based on the highly sensitivity and stable-fluorescence of water-soluble CdTe/CdS core–shell quantum dots (QDs) with broad-specificity DNA aptamers, a novel ratiometric detection strategy was proposed for the sensitive detection of organophosphorus pesticides by capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence (CE–LIF). The as-prepared QDs were first conjugated with the amino-modified oligonucleotide...
In this work, a saccharin sodium imprinted nanoparticles composite material has been successfully synthesized in aqueous solution. This molecular imprinted material has promising practical utility in the detection of saccharin sodium. First, we synthesized SiO2 nanoparticles, followed by the modification of functional amino group. Then we used functionalized SiO2@NH2 as the cores, saccharin sodium...
Novel core–shell nanocomposites, consisting of magnetic carbon nanotubes (MCNTs) core surrounded by a thin polydopamine (PDA) imprinting shell for specific recognition of lysozyme (Lyz), were fabricated for the first time. The obtained products were characterized and the results showed that the PDA layer was successfully attached onto the surface of MCNTs and the corresponding thickness of imprinting...
A dsDNA/PANI/CTS/GCE biosensor was constructed by using the biocompatible chitosan (CTS) and the polyaniline (PANI) with excellent electric catalytic properties and large specific surface areas. The electrochemical behavior of hydroquinone on biosensor and its DNA-damaging mechanisms were investigated. Results showed that the redox peak current was remarkably increased after glassy carbon electrode...
Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibited better chemiluminescence (CL) catalysis activity and smaller nanoparticles have stronger catalysis ability in luminol–K 3 Fe(CN) 6 system among the synthesized AgNPs of different size. 10±2nm nanoparticles was used as catalysts to enhance the reaction sensitivity. It was found that the CL intensity of AgNPs–luminol–K 3 Fe(CN) 6 ...
The protein imprinted technique combining surface imprinting and nano-sized supports materials is an attractive strategy for protein recognition and rapid separation. In this work, we imprinted bovine hemoglobin (BHb) on magnetic nanoparticles. With itaconic acid (IA) and acrylamide (AAm) as the monomers, the experiment was carried out in aqueous media via surface-imprinting technique. The effects...
Most of the copper (II) fluorescent probes are based on the measurement of fluorescence at a single wavelength, which may be influenced by variations in the sample environment. To the end, the ratiometric fluorescent measurement, which involves the simultaneous measurement of two fluorescence signals at different wavelengths followed by calculation of their intensity ratio, can effectively eliminate...
A reverse flow injection analysis (rFIA) method coupled with 1m liquid waveguide capillary cell and spectrophotometric detection for simultaneous determination of nanomolar nitrite and nitrate in seawater was developed. The design of two analytical channels sharing the same detection system in the proposed method allowed the analysis of both nitrite and nitrate with single sample injection. Different...
An automatic gas-phase molecular absorption spectrometric (GPMAS) system was developed and applied to determine nitrite and total nitrate in water samples. The GPMAS system was coupled with a UV-light emitting diode photodiode (UV-LED-PD) based photometric detector, including a 255nm UV-LED as the light source, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tube of 14cm as the gas flow cell, and an integrated photodiode...
A new method based on solid-support reaction is described to realize fluorescent derivatization of proteins at concentrations as low as 10 −8 M. A simple, low-cost homemade capillary C18 cartridge was fabricated as the solid-support reactor. Using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a test protein, we demonstrated that the protein can be captured by this reactor and then labeled by fluorescein isothiocyanate...
Retention time shifts badly impair qualitative or quantitative results of chemometric analyses when entire chromatographic data are used. Hence, chromatograms should be aligned to perform further analysis. Being inspired and motivated by this purpose, a practical and handy peak alignment method (alignDE) is proposed, implemented in this research for one-way chromatograms, which basically consists...
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO 2 ) were employed for the sorption of Te(IV) ions from aqueous solution. A detailed study of the process was performed by varying the sorption time, pH, and temperature. The sorption was found to be fast, equilibrium was reached within 8min. When the concentration of Te(IV) was below 40mgL −1 , at least 97% of tellurium was adsorbed by nano-TiO...
