Sonogel-Carbon electrode (SngCE) modified with bentonite (BENT) shows an interesting alternative electrode to be used in the determination of 1,4-benzodiazepines by square wave adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (SWAdCSV). Diazepam (DZ) and chlordiazepoxide hydrochloride (CPZ), were determined using SngCE modified by 5% BENT. An electrochemical study of different parameters (such as pH, buffer...
A multiclass method has been optimized and validated for the simultaneous determination of 20 veterinary drug residues belonging to several classes, as quinolones, sulfonamides, macrolides, anthelmintics, avermectins and diamino derivatives, and benzathine, used as a marker of the presence of penicillin, in muscle chicken. It has been based on QuEChERS methodology (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged...
A novel sol–gel-coated ionic liquid-based ([AMIM][N(SO 2 CF 3 ) 2 ]–OH-TSO) fiber was successfully applied for the determination of phthalate esters (PAEs) in agricultural plastic films by ultrasonic extraction (UE) combined with solid phase microextraction–gas chromatography (SPME–GC) due to its high thermal stability, specific selectivity and extraction efficiency. The extractant...
A fast and sensitive UPLC–MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of six probe metabolites for the in vitro cytochrome P450 activity determination in hepatic microsomes from patients with hepatic impairment. The metabolites acetaminophen (CYP1A2), 4′-hydroxy-mephenytoin (CYP2C19), 4-hydroxy-tolbutamide (CYP2C9), dextrorphan (CYP2D6), 6-hydroxy-chlorzoxazone (CYP2E1)...
A bivariate correlated Student distribution is applied to full wine bottle diamagnetic screening measurements. Previous work involving a limited number of rare wines indicated that like wines cluster in a plot of the first two principal component scores derived from a covariance matrix of the diamagnetic screening measurements. This study extends the approach to a much larger, statistically meaningful...
The effect of sequential extraction of trace metals on sulfur (S) speciation in anoxic sludge samples from two lab-scale biogas reactors augmented with Fe was investigated. Analyses of sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (S XANES) spectroscopy and acid volatile sulfide (AVS) were conducted on the residues from each step of the sequential extraction. The S speciation in sludge samples...
In order to investigate the preclinical pharmacokinetics of cefuroxime lysine, a fast, sensitive and high throughput UPLC–ESI–MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of cefuroxime in dog plasma. Cefuroxime and IS phenacetin were extracted from plasma samples by PPT or LLE procedure, and then separated on an ACQUITY UPLC™ BEH C 18 column with an isocratic...
In this work, we utilize the triangular gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) prepared by trisodium citrate reduction of HAuCl 4 in presence of nonionic fluorosurfactant (FSN) as a novel chemiluminescence (CL) probe for the determination of captopril. Captopril can induce a sharp decrease in CL intensity from the triangular AuNPs-catalyzed luminol system. Under the selected experimental conditions, a...
A methodology based on optical fiber (OF) sensing was developed to screen single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) in aqueous solutions.This method was validated by the comparison of its analytical performance with that of an ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) technique by monitoring the absorbance intensities at 500nm, and no significant difference (p=0.854) was observed between such two methods.The results...
Near infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) allows spatially resolved spectral information to be collected without sample destruction. Although NIR-HSI is suitable for a broad range of samples, sizes and shapes, topography of a sample affects the quality of near infrared (NIR) measurements. Single whole kernels of three cereals (barley, wheat and sorghum), with varying topographic complexity, were...
The effect of plasma treatment on the gas sensing properties of screen-printed single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) pastes is reported. The gas sensors, using SWCNT pastes as a sensing material, were fabricated by photolithography and screen printing. The SWCNT pastes were deposited between interdigitated electrodes on heater membrane by screen printing. In order to functionalize the pastes, they...
Benzimidazole drugs (BZDs) comprise a large number of synthetic anthelmintics, which are widely used in food-producing animals for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes. To protect consumers from the risks related to BZDs residues, a simple, rapid, and efficient method for simultaneous determination of ten BZDs in animal tissues samples was developed. This analytical procedure involved extracting...
An active immobilization method utilizing the metal-binding property was developed and examined for its ability to facilitate the biosensing of avian influenza virus. The special biosensing performance with optical plasmonic analysis, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was evaluated on gold substrate and also by SPR imaging (SPRi) and localized SPR (LSPR) system where antigen–antibody interaction...
In this paper, we reported an ultrasensitive ECL spectrometry for determination of DNA using magnetic streptavidin-coated nanobeads MNBs (SA-MNBs) as the carrier of Ru(bpy) 32+ -NHS, where bpy=2,2′-bipyridyl and NHS=N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, to amplify signal. The SA-MNBs were conjugated to the hybrids consisting of capture DNA, target DNA (t-DNA) and probe DNA immobilized on a substrate,...
In this study, the new C 18 -functionalized ultrafine magnetic silica nanoparticles (C 18 -UMS NPs) were successfully synthesized and applied for extraction of sudan dyes in water samples based on the magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE).

A novel sorbent for simultaneous separation of cadmium and copper was prepared by functionalizing SBA-15 nanoporous silica with diphenylcarbazide. A solid-phase extraction method using the above sorbent has been developed to separate and concentrate trace amount of cadmium and copper ions from environmental samples by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry measurements. The optimum experimental...
Detection of trace explosives residues at people and cargo control points has become a key security challenge. A severe obstacle is that all commercial and military high explosives have low to extremely low vapor pressures which make them very hard to detect. With detectable vapors not being present, explosives detection needs to proceed through a series of sequential steps including particle collection,...
A new high-performance liquid chromatography stationary phase has been prepared by covalently bonding 14-membered tetraazamacrocycle to silica gel using γ-chloropropyltrimethoxylsilane as coupling agent.
