In this work, an imprinted electrochemical sensor based on electrochemical reduced graphene covalently modified carbon electrode was developed for the determination of 4-nonylphenol (NP). An amine-terminated functional graphene oxide was covalently modified onto the electrode surface with diazonium salt reactions to improve the stability and reproducibility of the imprinted sensor. The electrochemical...
A novel method for glutathione (GSH) detection in real blood sample with a nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) film modified Pt ultramicroelectrode (UME) was proposed. The electrochemical properties of NiHCF film modified Pt UME were improved by introducing cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) into NiHCF film. The novel hybrid films (NiHCF/CTAB/AuNPs) were prepared by electrodepositing...
A sol–gel technique was applied for the preparation of water-compatible molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) for solid phase microextraction (SPME) using diazinon as template and polyethylene glycol as functional monomer. The MIP-coated fiber demonstrated much better selectivity to diazinon and its structural analogs in aqueous cucumber sample than in distilled water, indicating its potential in real...
Nitro-explosives contain reducible aromatic –NO 2 groups or cyclic >N–NO 2 bonds that may undergo reductive cleavage. This work reports the development of a cyclic voltammetric (CV) assay for nitro-aromatics (trinitrotoluene (TNT), dinitrotoluene (DNT)) and nitramines (1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazacyclohexane (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)) using...
A newly designed functionalization type for gold nanoparticles (AuNP) with split aptamer has been developed for the detection of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The ATP aptamer was split into two parts with their 5′ prime or 3′ prime modified with thiol. Both the 5′ SH and 3′ SH modified strands for each split aptamer fragment were functionalized onto the same AuNP to construct double-functionalized...
In this study, ultralayered Co 3 O 4 adsorbent was synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface area of the solid material was found to be 75.5m 2 g −1 by BET method. The ultralayered Co 3 O 4 was used for the first time as an effective adsorbent for the preconcentration of the Pb(II) ions...
In this study methods for the detection of trace levels of the improvised explosives urea nitrate and ammonium nitrate were developed using electrospray ionization with infusion. By using a non-aqueous solvent mixture containing 95% acetone with 5% 2-methoxyethanol we were able to preserve the urea and ammonium nitrate ion pairs and discriminate between these and other similar salts. Negative ion...
In recent years particular effort is being devoted to the development of pulsed glow discharges (PGDs) for mass spectrometry because this powering operation mode could offer important ionization analytical advantages. However, the capabilities of radiofrequency (RF) PGD coupled to a time of flight mass spectrometry (ToFMS) for accurate isotope ratio measurements have not been demonstrated yet. This...
Ambient mass spectrometry employing a direct analysis in real time (DART) ion source coupled to a medium high-resolution/accurate mass time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOFMS) was used as a rapid tool for metabolomic fingerprinting to study the effects of supplemental feeding with cereals (triticale) on the composition of muscle metabolites of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.).First, the sample extraction...
A liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry analytical procedure has been developed for the detection and quantitative determination of underivatized amino acids at low concentrations in a Standard Reference Material—urban dust. In order to minimize interferences of other compounds, an accelerated solvent extraction followed by a solid phase extraction on two different cartridges was applied...
A simple, sensitive and efficient method of ultrasound-assisted emulsification of solidified floating organic drop microextraction (USE-SFODME) coupled to electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry for the speciation of antimony at different oxidation state Sb(III)/Sb(V) in environmental samples was established. In this method, the hydrophobic complex of Sb(III) with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate...
A new, cheap modified electrode for indirect detection of OH radical is described. A glassy carbon (GC) electrode was modified with a polyphenol film prepared by oxidative potentiostatic electropolymerization of 0.05M phenol in 1M H 2 SO 4 . The film having a thickness of ~10nm perfectly covered the GC surface and inhibited the charge transfer of many redox species. The degradation...
Preliminary complexation study showed that two ligands (ionophores) (2-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydazono)methyl)pyridine) [L 1 ], (2-((2-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydazono) methyl)phenol) [L 2 ] can act as europium selective electrode. Europium selective coated graphite electrodes (CGE) were prepared by using ligands [L 1 ] and [L 2 ] and their potentiometric characteristics...
A method of determination of low amounts of tantalum in niobium and niobium compounds without its prior separation by means of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) has been worked out. The method involves dissolution of the analyzed samples of niobium as well as its various compounds (oxides, fluorides, chlorides, niobates(V)) in fluoride environments, precipitation of...
This paper describes a novel luminescent sensor for malathion using chitosan capped silver nanoparticles (Chi-AgNPs) as fluorophore. The Chi-AgNPs were synthesized by the wet-chemical method and were characterized by absorption, fluorescence, HR-TEM, XRD and DLS techniques. The Chi-AgNPs show the absorption maximum at 394nm and emission maximum at 536nm. While adding 10µM malathion, yellow color Chi-AgNPs...
Three multi-branched rhodamine based fluorescent probes TPARH1-3 have been designed and synthesized by incorporating the rhodamine fluorophore with triphenylamine. The probe TPARH1 displayed high sensitivity to Cu 2+ in aqueous CH 3 CN. The probes TPARH2 and TPARH3 showed high sensitivity towards Hg 2+ in aqueous EtOH medium as reflected by their signalling responses. The cooperative...

A one-step cleanup method is described for the determination of PAHs, PCBs and OCPs in air (gas and particulate phase) samples. Analytes were extracted from ambient air samples using soxhlet extraction with a solvent mixture of dichloromethane and petroleum ether (1:4) for 24h.

This work reports a reliable, fast and optimized photometric technique based on the specific chemical complexation of uranyl ion with arsenazo-III.
