In the present paper, N,N -dinaphthyl-N,N -diphenyl-3,6-dioxaoctanediamide acts as a specific reagent for enhancing the fluorescence intensity of Eu(III) complex with thenoyl trifluoroacetone (TTA), the spectrofluorimetric determination of trace amounts of Eu(III) based on the above system was carried out and its luminescence mechanism was studied. The excitation and emission wavelengths are 343...
A new copolymer made of 8-quinolyl methacrylate, methyl methacrylate and n-butyl acrylate(PQMB) has been used as a solid substrate for the preparation of an optical fiber berberine sensor. The sensing is based on the fluorescence of 1,4-bis(naphth[2,1-d]oxazole-2-yl)benzene(BNOB) immobilized in the copolymer quenched by berberine with the formation of 1:1 complex between them. The membrane composition...
A water-soluble porphyrin, (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyr in; H 2 obtpps 4- ) was synthesized and developed for the determination of lithium ion in aqueous solution. The octabromo groups lower the basicity of the porphyrin by their electron-withdrawing effect, and enable the porphyrin to react with the lithium ion in alkaline solution...
A cold trap system for the simultaneous determination of arsenic, antimony, selenium and tin by continuous hydride generation and gas phase molecular absorption spectrometry is described. The hydride generation is carried out in two steps; first, tin hydride is generated at low acidity and second, arsenic, antimony and selenium hydrides are formed at higher acidity. All the hydrides are collected...
A pretreatment method based on borate complex formation is described for the selective and simultaneous quantitation of pharmacologically active catechins in human plasma and saliva. This method is based on the interaction of catechins with diphenylborate (as a complexing agent) and tetra-n-butylammonium (as a counter ion) in alkaline media to give the catechin-diphenylborate complex and ion-pair...
Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) with aqueous organic solvent has been developed to separate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Methanol, ethanol or propanol as an organic modifier was added to sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) micellar solution in order to increase the solubility of very hydrophobic solutes in mobile phase. Both methanol and ethanol can be used as co-solvents...
The complexing reagent 2-thiophenaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (TAPT) was examined for high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separations of cobalt(II), copper(II) and iron(II) or cobalt(II), nickel(II), iron(II), copper(II) and mercury(II) as metal chelates on a Microsorb C-18, 5-μm column (150 4.6 mm i.d.) (Rainin Instruments Woburn, MA, USA). The complexes were eluted isocratically...
The micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) method is reported for the separation of heparin, and for the possibility of direct determination of free heparin in plasma. The conditions for MECC were: pH 8.5, 25 mM sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), 25 mM borate buffer, with a 30 cm 50 μm ID fused-silica capillary. The sample was detected with a UV-detector at 270 nm with heparin as external...
Following the deproteination of the milk sample by means of zinc hexacyanoferrate, acetoacetic acid was decarboxylated by heating; the acetone originally present was then determined together with the acetone formed. The essence of the determination was that acetone reacted with bromine in the presence of sulphuric acid, following which, the bromoacetone formed was extracted into toluene, separated...
As part of a comprehensive screening program on the separation of chiral drugs by capillary zone electrophoresis, we have investigated the enantio-separation of 54 drug racemates with β-cyclodextrin as a chiral solvating agent (CSA), thus complementing previous studies on 34 drug racemates. Fourteen out of the 54 analytes investigated have been separated into the enantiomers, yielding an overall success...
Infant formula and powdered milk samples were suspended in a medium containing 20% ethanol, 0.65% nitric acid, 6% hydrogen peroxide and 0.1% ammonium dihydrogenphosphate and directly introduced in the electrothermal atomizer. Liquid milk samples were diluted with this suspension solution. The build-up of carbonaceous residues inside the atomizer was avoided by using a combination of hydrogen peroxide...
The performance of electrochemical biosensors developed for the determination of inhibiting species is considered. The role of various factors affecting the analytical characteristics of biosensors, their selectivity toward inhibitors to be tested as well as operational characteristics is discussed. The choice of enzyme-inhibitor system, the influence of enzyme immobilization on the behaviour of a...
A simple and sensitive method for the determination of isoproturon, a widely used herbicide is described here which is based on alkaline hydrolysis of isoproturon to its corresponding primary amine followed by diazotization and coupling with p-aminoacetophenone in alkaline medium. The absorption maxima of the coloured compound formed is measured at 525 nm. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration...
Using three enzyme sensors (tyrosinase, catalase and glucose oxidase), capable of functioning also in non-aqueous solvents, we found new correlations between classical indicators, e.g. the log P value of several organic solvents and new empirical indicators such as `maximum current variation' (MCV) and above all the `current variation rate' (CVR), the values of which may be monitored with the biosensor...
A highly selective, sensitive, and fairly rapid and economical differential pulse polarographic (DPP) method has been reported for the determination of trace amounts of vanadium and molybdenum in standard alloys and various environmental samples. The morpholine-4-carbodithioates of these metals were retained (>99% recovery) quantitatively on microcrystalline naphthalene in the pH range 4.5-6.9...
The application of differential electrolytic potentiometry as a detection system in flow injection analysis for precipitation reactions is described. Different combinations of electrodes were investigated. The optimum conditions for the current density and the flow rate were elucidated. In the case of chloride, an Ag/AgCl-Pt pair was found to be successful. For iodide a combination of Ag-Pt electrodes...
Alkali Blue 6B-attached poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (poly(HEMA)) microporous films were investigated as chelate forming sorbents for heavy metal removal. Poly(HEMA) microporous films were prepared by UV-initiated photo-polymerization of HEMA in the presence of an initiator (azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)). Alkali Blue 6B was attached covalently. These films with a swelling ratio of 58%, and carrying...
A new kind of sieving matrix is presented in this paper to allow satisfactory separation of DNA fragments in a relatively low viscous solution. When a certain amount of mannitol was added to cellulose solution not concentrated enough to separate PGEM-3Zf(+)/HaeIII standards well, a polymer solution with low viscosity but with very good separation effects was obtained. The separation result of this...
A new sensitive chemiluminescent detection method for capillary electrophoresis is described. Underivatized amines and amino acids were detected following capillary electrophoresis separation by their chemiluminescent reaction with Ru(bpy) 33+ generated in situ at 35 μm carbon fibers. Detection limits for triethylamine and proline were 5 and 3 fmol, respectively at a SNR of three...
A sensitive analytical method for the simultaneous assay of nitrate and nitrite in water and some fruit samples is presented. The method is based on nitrite determination using the diazotization-coupling reaction by column preconcentration and on the reduction of nitrate to nitrite using the Cd-Cu reductor column. Nitrite is diazotized with sulfanilamide (SAM) in the pH range 2.0-5.0, sulfamethizole...
