Determination of alkylphenol ethoxylates by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with bile salts
2001
Octyl- and nonylphenol ethoxylates (OPEs and NPEs) with different numbers of ethoxy units (average values: n = 10 and N = 40 for OPEs, and n = 10 for NPEs) were separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography under positive polarity using an 80 mM borate buffer of pH 8.5 containing sodium deoxycholate (SDC) or sodium cholate (SC). When sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) was added to the background electrolyte (BGE) in the absence of the bile salt, a single peak at a migration time longer than that of the EOF was obtained. Substituting the SDS by a bile salt, the homologues were resolved. At the same bile salt concentration, resolution between the homologues was higher with SDC than using SC. …
Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric determination of arsenic in mussel products
1993
A precise, accurate procedure is proposed for the determination of arsenic in mussel products by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry. Organic matter is destroyed by dry ashing. Experimental conditions for the determination of arsenic were selected and an interference study was carried out. The methodology developed has a detection limit of 0.1 μg g−1, a relative standard deviation of 3%, and a recovery percentage of 98±2%. The accuracy of the method was checked by analysis of a certified sample of NIST oyster tissue (certified 14.0±1.2 μg g−1; found 14.1±1.1 μg g−1). The proposed procedure was used to analyze real samples of mussel products.
In-tube solid-phase microextraction coupled by in valve mode to capillary LC-DAD: Improving detectability to multiresidue organic pollutants analysis…
2009
Abstract A simple and fast capillary chromatographic method has been developed to identify and quantify organic pollutants at sub-ppb levels in real water samples. The major groups of pesticides (organic halogens, organic phosphorous, and organic nitrogen compounds), some hydrocarbons (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons), phthalates and some phenols such as phenol and bisphenol A (endocrine disruptors) were included in this study. The procedure was based on coupling, in-tube solid-phase microextraction (IT-SPME) by using a conventional GC capillary column (95% methyl–5% phenyl substituted backbone, 80 cm × 0.32 mm i.d., 3 μm film thickness) in the injection valve to capillary liquid chromatog…
Method for determination of formaldehyde in air in the pptv-range by HPLC after extraction as 2,4-dinitrophenyl-hydrazone
1982
The derivatization of formaldehyde with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine and the extraction of the product formalhydrazone is studied. The determination is carried out by HPLC. Applying a cryogenic sampling technique and a sampling volume of 300l of air the detection limit of formaldehyde in air is 30 pptv and this is suitable for measurements of formaldehyde in the atmosphere.

Gaschromatographisch-massenspektrometrische identifizierung der durch umsetzung von aminen mit isocyanaten gebildeten harnstoffderivate
1977
Abstract Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric identification of urea derivatives formed by the reaction of amines with isocyanates N,N′-Di- and N,N′,N′-trisubstituted ureas constitute suitable derivatives for the gas chromatographic (GC) determination of primary and secondary amines. The GC identification of N- tert. -butyl-,N′,N′-alkyl urea derivatives presented in the first communication has been succesfully confirmed by mass spectrometry (MS) and mass fragmentometry. The reproduced mass spectra of six N- tert. -butyl-,N′,N′-alkyl ureas were interpreted according to the decomposition mechanisms of less complicated alkyl ureas known from the literature. Using combined GC-MS the detection…
Indirect analysis of urea herbicides from environmental water using solid-phase microextraction.
2000
We described here a solid-phase microextraction procedure used to extract six urea pesticides-- chlorsulfuron, fluometuron, isoproturon, linuron, metobromuron and monuron--from environmental samples. Two polydimethylsiloxanes and a polyacrylate fiber (PA) are compared. The extraction time, pH control, addition of NaCl to the water and the influence of organic matter such as humic acid on extraction efficiency were examined to achieve a sensitive method. Determination was carried out by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The proposed method requires the extraction of 2 ml of sample (pH 4, 14.3%, w/v, NaCl) for 60 min with the PA fiber. The limits of detection range from 0…
Determination of the protein and free amino acid content in a sample using o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl-L-cysteine
1990
A spectrophotometric method is proposed for determining the protein content in a sample after total acid hydrolysis. In the procedure, free amino acids are caused to react with o-phthalaldehyde and N-acetyl-L-cysteine at pH 9.5, using isoleucine as the reference compound. Correction factors are used to take into account the differences between the molar absorptivities of the amino acid isoindoles and the recoveries of the amino acids after the hydrolysis treatment. The limit of detection was in the range 40-50 micrograms of protein, and the recoveries were usually 101 +/- 3% with a coefficient of variation lower than 4%. The free amino acid content in a partially hydrolysed protein was also…
Determination of heavy metal complexes with humic substances by HPLC/ICP-MS coupling using on-line isotope dilution technique
1997
An isotope dilution mass spectrometric (IDMS) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of the complexes of 11 heavy metals (Ag, Cd, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Tl, U, W, Zn and Zr) with humic substances (HS) by coupling HPLC with ICP-MS and applying the on-line isotope dilution technique. The HPLC separation was carried out with size exclusion chromatography. This HPLC/ICP-IDMS method was applied to samples from a brown water, ground water, sewage and seepage water as well as for a sample containing isolated fulvic acids. The total contents of heavy metals and of their complexes were analyzed in these samples with detection limits in the range of 5–110 ng/L. The analysis of heavy me…
Development of competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for boscalid determination in fruit juices
2012
Abstract Boscalid is a modern, broad-spectrum carboxamide pesticide highly efficient against most fungal diseases affecting valuable crops. In this study, a boscalid-mimicking derivative with a six-carbon spacer arm replacing the chlorine atom at the pyridine ring of the target molecule was synthesized and coupled to carrier proteins. Following rabbit immunization, antibodies against this agrochemical were obtained for the first time, and they were characterised in terms of affinity and specificity, tolerance to solvents, and robustness to changes in buffer pH and ionic strength, using two assay formats. Both of the optimised immunoassays showed limits of detection below 0.1 μg/L. Moreover,…
Enhanced spectrophotometric determination of nicotinic acid in a sodium dodecyl sulphate micellar medium.
1994
The spectrophotometric determination of pyridine and pyridine derivatives by means of the König reaction was studied in micellar media of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), N-cetylpyridinium chloride and Triton X-100. The sensitivity was largely increased in SDS micellar medium. The attack of the pyridine ring with cyanogen bromide to produce a glutaconic aldehyde was not affected by the presence of SDS, but the yield of the coupling reaction with an arylamine to produce a polymethine dye was largely increased. In the SDS micellar medium, aniline was superior to other coupling reagents. The limits of detection (LODs) were 6 x 10(-7), 1 x 10(-6) and 5 x 10(-7)M for pyridine, pyrrol-ylmethylpyrid…
