Influence of sodium lauryl sulphate on the in vitro percutaneous absorption of compounds with different lipophilicity

1997

Abstract The effects of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) at different concentrations on the “in vitro” percutaneous absorption of a number of compounds (5-fluorouracil, antipyrine, pentoxifylline, salicylamide, 4-ethylaniline, 4-n-butylaniline and indomethacin) with a wide range of lipophilicity values (log POCT from −0.95 to 4.42) through rat skin were analysed. After pretreatment of the skin with SLS (1% and 5%, w/w) the permeability coefficients increased only for compounds having a log POCT

Literature survey of the on-line preconcentration in flow-injection atomic spectrometric analysis

1992

The literature on the use of “on-line” preconcentration in flow injection atomic spectrometric analysis is reviewed, taking into account its application both in flame and electrothermal atomic absorption methods as well as in plasma emission spectrometry. The basis of the different preconcentration approaches, such as liquid-liquid extraction, column preconcentration and “on-line” precipitation are discussed. The literature survey reveals the analytical performance of the developed methodologies.

Use of the Apparent Content Curves for the spectrophotometric identification of substances: identification of amphetamines

1994

The possibility of identification of substances which have similar spectral behaviour by means of Apparent Content Curves has been studied. This study is carried out with absorption, excitation and emission spectra of several amphetamines of widespread pharmaceutical use. Results obtained show that amphetamine, phenylpropanolamine, pseudoephedrine, phenylephrine, epinephrine, dopamine and methoxyamphetamine can be identified with a probability of >95%.

Speciation of tetraalkyllead compounds by flow injection — atomic absorption spectrophotometry

1990

The on-line demetallation of alkyllead compounds, with iodine, and further emulsification, provides a fast determination of total lead content in liposoluble matrices, such as gasolines. It can be carried out in a double channel manifold, using a magnetically well stirred dilution chamber for the emulsification of the samples, previous to their analysis by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry. On the other hand, the different behaviour of tetraethyllead (TEL) and tetramethyllead (TML) can be employed for speciation of both compounds in the sample. The effect of the flow injection parameters on the sensitivity and accuracy has been studied and the figures of merit of the proposed method…

Chromium speciation in liquid matrices: a survey of the literature

2000

A thorough review of the literature published (1983 - March 1999) on chromium speciation in liquid samples is presented, and analytical techniques used in the 404 articles are summarized. The discussion focuses on atomic spectrometric techniques, which are mainly employed for chromium speciation in liquid matrices (134 articles). Details on the type of pretreatment, species, samples, techniques and analytical features of the methodologies proposed are given.

EDTA excess Zn(II) back-titration in the presence of 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol indicator and naphthol green beta as inert dye for determining Cr(II…

2006

The colour changes of 4-(2-pyridylazo)-resorcinol and naphthol green beta as new screening metallochromic indicator in back-titration of EDTA excess with Zn(II) to determine Cr(III)/EDTA complex was investigated with the help of tristimulus colorimetry. Specific colour discrimination (SCD) and L*, a*, b* 1976 parameters were successfully applied to evaluate the quality of colour transition at the end-point in non-alkaline media and in the presence of Zn(II) and Ca(II) which resulted in non-interfering species at 1x10(-3) M and 2x10(-3) M, respectively. The above concentrations are comparable with those used for Cr(III). Validation of the fast and accurate reported method was performed by at…

Distribution of Cr and Pb in artificial sea water and their sorption in marine sediments: an example from experimental mesocosms

2016

The uptake of two heavy metals (chromium and lead) in sediments in experimental mesocosms under exposure to different metal concentrations was evaluated by monitoring their concentrations over time both in seawater and in sediment. Two separate experiments under laboratory-controlled conditions were carried out for the two metals. Sediments were collected from a protected natural area characterized by low anthropic influence and were placed in mesocosms that were housed in aquaria each with seawater at a different metal concentration. At pre-established time intervals, seawater and sediment samples were collected from each mesocosm for chemical analyses. Quantification of chromium and lead …

Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometnc Determination of Chromium in Foods

1986

Abstract A method is reported for determination of chromium in foodstuffs. Organic matter is digested with nitric acid, followed by oxidation to Cr(VI) and extraction with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) after HC1 addition. Chromium determinations are performed by flame absorption spectroscopy. Absence of interferences is verified and recovery tests are performed on food samples. Quantitation limit (3.8 ng/mL), accuracy (NBS Standard Reference Material 1573 Tomato Leaves, 4500 ± 500 ng/g, found 3860 ± 409 ng/g), and precision (CV for vegetable matrix = 9.05%, CV for animal matrix = 14.95%) of the procedure are evaluated.
