Pharmaceutical companies are progressively adopting and introducing Process Analytical Technology (PAT) and Quality-by-Design (QbD) concepts promoted by the regulatory agencies, aiming the building of the quality directly into the product by combining thorough scientific understanding and quality risk management. An analytical method based on near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy was developed as a PAT...
A novel DGT probe and analysis protocol were developed for the determination of MeHg concentrations in aquatic system. The DGT probe consisted of an agarose (AG) gel as the diffusive hydrogel and a 3-mercaptoproply functionalised silica resin gel as the resin gel. The polyacrylamide (PA) hydrogel which is commonly used in DGT probes to assess trace metal concentrations in aquatic system appeared to...
A new method for the simultaneous determination of 7 synthetic musks (musk amberette, musk tibetene, musk moskene, musk ketone, musk xylene, phantolide, and tonalide) in cream by means of supporting liquid extraction (SLE) coupled with LC-Alumina-N SPE, then followed by GC–MS/MS has been established. In this study, 7 synthetic musks are extracted and pre-purified by a mixture solution of water and...
A high sulfur Jordanian oil shale was converted into liquid hydrocarbons by reaction at 390°C under N 2 , and the dichloromethane soluble fraction of the products was isolated then analyzed by using gas chromatography (GC). Comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GC×GC) and multidimensional GC (MDGC) were applied for component separation on a polar – non-polar column set. Flame-ionization detection...
Improving the site accessibility of molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is one of the biggest challenges for application of MIP in solid-phase extraction (SPE). Hierarchically imprinted mesoporous silica polymer was prepared with semicovalently bond imprinting methods based on MCM-41 and SBA-15 mesostructures, aiming to improve the site accessibility of MIP and increase the efficiency of molecularly...
Unusual amounts of retinoic acid (RA) isomers play an important role in abnormal morphological development of mammals; such as rat embryos. Each isomer of RA has a unique function in first steps of embryonic life. In the current study, a new method for preconcentration and simultaneous determination of all-trans retinoic acid, 13-cis retinoic acid, 9-cis retinoic acid and 9,13-di-cis retinoic acid...
A triple quadrupole GC–QqQ–MS/MS method was optimized for multiresidue analysis of over 180 pesticides in blackcurrants. The samples were prepared by using a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe (QuEChERS) analytical protocol. To reduce matrix co-extractives in the final extract, the supernatant was cleaned up by dispersive-solid phase extraction (dispersive-SPE) with a mixture...
Polydopamine (PDA)-coated ordered mesoporous carbons (OMCs) are easily prepared through one-step self-polymerization of dopamine on OMCs matrix at room temperature. Pt nanoparticles (NPs) are deposited on OMCs-PDA via a simple chemical reduction. The PDA layer helps to improve the water-solubility and dispersibility of OMCs, and plays a key role in the deposition of uniform and well-distributed Pt...
Oxidation has important effects on the quality of edible oils. In particular, the generation of aldehydes produced by the oxidation of oils is one of the deteriorative factors to their quality. The aim of this study was to develop a method to determine the aldehydes as lipid oxidation markers in edible oils. Seven aldehydes generated from lipid oxidation were studied using headspace solid-phase microextraction...
Paper chips for immunoassay were patterned by screen printing of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) or wax pencil drawing. The methods for paper chip patterning are cheap, convenient, rapid and suitable for most laboratories. The whole time for patterning a paper chip is no more than 10min. Visible immunoassay for the detection of bacteria (Escherichia coli ) has been realized using the paper chip, on which...
In this study, a simple and fast microwave assisted chemical reduction method for the preparation of graphene nanosheet/polyethyleneimine/gold nanoparticle (GNS/PEI/AuNP) composite was developed. PEI, a cationic polymer, was used both as a non-covalent functionalizing agent for the graphene oxide nanosheets (GONSs) through electrostatic interactions in the aqueous medium and also as a stabilizing...
A method using automated on-line solid phase extraction coupled with a high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry system was developed for the determination of emerging benzotriazole UV stabilizers (BZTs) in different environmental water matrices including river water, sewage influent and effluent. Water sample was injected directly and the analytes were preconcentrated on a Polar...
A laminated paper-based analytical device (LPAD) combined with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) catalyzed luminol chemiluminescence (CL) system for the determination of l-cysteine (l-cys) was presented here. It is based on the principle that l-cys can greatly inhibit CL signal of AuNPs–luminol–H 2 O 2 system. The paper-based device was fabricated by a low-cost cutting method, followed by...
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 ...
Modern biosensors require high sensitivity, great signal enhancement and extensive applicability for detection and diagnostic purposes. Traditional molecular beacons (MBs) do not meet these requirements because of the lack of signal amplification. The current amplification pathways using enzymes, DNAzymes and nanoparticles are usually quite sophisticated and are limited to specific applications. Herein,...
In simultaneous determination of group of elements, there are inter-metallic interactions which result in a non-linear relationship between the peak current and ionic concentration for each of the element, at bare (unmodified) electrode. To resolve this problem, we have resorted, for the first time, to develop a modified pencil graphite electrode using a typical ion imprinted polymer network (dual-ion...
A new ceria (CeO 2 ) nanocubic modified surfactant is used as the basis of a novel nano-based microextraction technique for highly sensitive detection of pathogenic bacteria (Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus). The technique uses ultrasound enhanced surfactant-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (UESA-DLLME) with and without ceria (CeO 2 ) followed by matrix...
A sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor based on molecularly imprinted polymers was developed for trace level detection of metformin—an antidiabetic drug. For the first time, we have applied non-hydrolytic sol–gel matrix as a cross-linking agent in the field of molecular imprinting. To create the sol–gel matrix and enhance the electro-conductivity of the proposed sensor citrate-capped gold...
In this work, a methodology based on a reducing IEF separation in combination with a FASP tryptic digestion able to maintain the integrity of cisplatin–protein complexes has been developed. The method is based on OFFGEL-IEF under conditions provided by the thiol-free reducing agent TBP, which allowed the separation of cisplatin-binding proteins in liquid fractions. The FASP procedure is applied as...
Enzyme-coupling reactions play an important role in the assay of analytes. In this manuscript, we developed a new fluorescent probe for the detection of glucose through the enzyme-coupling reaction of DT-diaphorase (DTD). The probe was synthesized through a mild and simple synthetic procedure, and showed good fluorescence response to DTD. The reactions for the detection of glucose proceed as follows:...
