In this paper, a novel and very simple homogeneous coating of a monolithic silica HPLC support using pristine boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) was d0.escribed. The chromatographic support was coated with BNNTs in a non covalent way to preserve the nanotube structure. A solution of BNNTs dispersed in dimethylacetamide (DMAc) was pumped through the column at a flow-rate of 0.3mL/min for 24h at room temperature...
This paper describes an environmentally friendly procedure for the determination of losartan potassium (Los-K) in pharmaceuticals. The photometric method was based on the light scattering effect due to particles suspension, which were formed by the reaction of Los-K with Cu (II) ions. The method was automated employing a multicommuted flow analysis approach, implemented using solenoid mini-pumps for...
An ultra high-performance liquid chromatographic (UHPLC) method with PDA detection was developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of linezolid and ciprofloxacin in human plasma and applied in hospital acquired pneumonia patients (HAP). The method uses a semi-automated microextraction by packed sorbent for sample preparation. All parameters in the extraction step (pH, sample volume,...
Lanthanide coordination polymers (LCPs) have emerged as fascinating materials because of their specific structure and properties. In this work, utilizing hydrosoluble biomolecule of guanosine-5′-monophosphate (GMP) as bridging linker, lanthanide terbium ions (Tb3+) as metal nodes, and silver ions (Ag+) as sensitizers, we synthesized a pH responsive luminescent lanthanide CP probe of Tb/GMP/Ag. The...
Mutations in Kras gene may be used as a diagnostic marker and a target for treatment of the broad spectrum of human cancers. In this study, we developed a new class of amplification assay, double-hairpin molecular beacon (DHMB)-based cascade rolling circle amplification (RCA), for ultrasensitive and selective detection of Kras gene in a homogenous solution. Specifically, target DNA can hybridize with...
A barcode lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) based on magnetic nanoparticles with a controllable cut-off level was developed for the first time. The regulation of the cut-off levels was based on the changes in the position and concentration of three antibodies (two monoclonal and polyclonal) with different affinities (KD=4.22×10−9, 9.67×10−9, 1.05×10−8 M), respectively. To obtain specific conjugates,...
Monitoring of genetically modified organisms in food and feed demands molecular techniques that deliver accurate quantitative results. Electrochemical DNA detection has been widely described in this field, yet most reports convey qualitative data and application in processed food and feed samples is limited. Herein, the applicability of an electrochemical multiplex assay for DNA quantification in...
A method to trap magnetic nanoparticles inside the electrophoretic capillary has been developed without disabling and disturbing the coolant liquid recirculation. The complete optimization from setting up of the external magnetic field to injecting the magnetic nanoparticles in order to facilitate efficient trapping is described. In addition to this, the setup has been tested with 150mM sodium phosphate...
In our study, the development of amino functionalized carbon coated magnetic nanoparticles (NH2-CC-MNPs) and their usage for electrochemical detection of hybridization of nucleic acids have been aimed. Firstly, NH2-CC-MNPs were prepared by coating of pristine Fe3O4 nanoparticles with two layers via caramelization and silanization processes respectively. After the morphological characterization with...
Five new potentiometric membrane sensors for the determination of the dinotefuran levels in cucumber and soil samples have been developed. Four of these sensors were based on a newly designed molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) material consisting of acrylamide or methacrylic acid as a functional monomer in a plasticized PVC (polyvinyl chloride) membrane before and after elution of the template. A...
Single or few-layer nanosheets of MoS2 (MoS2 nanosheets) and a composite composed of MoS2 nanosheets, Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) and hemin (HE) (denoted as MoS2-Au-HE) were prepared. The composites possessed high synergetic catalysis activity towards the electroreduction of hydrogen peroxide. Furthermore, glucose oxidase (GOD) and AuNPs were used as marker of the complementary DNA (cDNA) strand of kanamycin...
We report here graphene-like carbon nanosheets (GCN) as a new electrode material for the electrochemical determination of hydroquinone (HQ) and catechol (CC). The GCN were prepared from maltose using ammonia chloride as a blowing agent and cobalt nitrate as a graphitization catalyst precursor. The as-prepared GCN material shows high graphitization degree, abundant porosity, and large specific surface...
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a sexual disorder characterized by the inability to achieve or maintain a sufficiently rigid erection. Despite the availability of non-invasive oral treatment options, many patients turn to herbal alternatives. Furthermore, herbal supplements are increasingly gaining popularity in industrialized countries and, as a consequence, quality control is a highly important issue...
In this paper we used hydrated mayenite as reactive substrate for NOx active sampling in the air, which is novel. The performance of the mayenite-based sorbent for the NOx tubes was evaluated in two different monitoring surveys (autumn 2015 and winter 2016), characterized by different environmental conditions. Sorbent tubes filled with mayenite were exposed simultaneously to triethanolamine (TEA)-based...
A fully automatic single-drop microextraction (SDME) coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was developed for the determination of 12 hydroxylated metabolites of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in seawaters. The derivatization reagent was added to the extraction solvent in order to realize one-step extraction and derivatization. High sensitivity of the method could be achieved...
Hydrogen persulfide (H2S2), as a direct redox form of H2S, may have its own physiological processes in maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis. The research on hydrogen persulfide was rapidly growing. As it is the actual signalling molecules derived from hydrogen sulfide, reversible detection of hydrogen persulfide changes in cells is of great significance. To address this critical need, we present...
As Process Analytical Technology (PAT) implementation grows in the pharmaceutical industry, more studies are being performed to evaluate its suitability in new applications and processes within the manufacturing chain. As the last step in tablet production, the compression stage represents a critical phase that ensures product quality. In-line control put in place at this stage has the potential to...
Salicylaldehyde based hydrazones 2-((2-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (SMPH), 4-methyl-2-((2-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (MSMPH) and 4-fluoro-2-((2-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)hydrazono)methyl)phenol (FSMPH) were prepared and structurally characterized.
