Sample preparation methods for the determination of pesticides in foods using CE-UV/MS.
2010
Much progress has been made in pesticide analysis over the past decade, during this time hyphenated techniques involving highly efficient separation with sensitive detection have become the techniques of choice. Among these, methods based on separation with mass spectrometric detection have resulted in greater likelihood of identification and are acknowledged to be extremely useful and authoritative methods for the determination of pesticide residues but the inherent advantages of the use of CE as a separation technique are well-known and can be summarized as high separation efficiency, low analysis time, high resolution power, and low consumption of samples and reagents. Although UV is the…
Determination of Urea Pesticide Residues in Vegetable, Soil, and Water Samples
2003
The main physico-chemical, toxicological, and environmental properties of urea pesticides are summarized. General characteristics of analytical methods for residues of phenylurea herbicides (PUHs), sulfonylurea herbicides (SUHs), and Benzoylurea insecticides (BUIs) in crops, soil, and water samples, employed in the last 5 years are reviewed. Provided it is information about liquid-liquid and solid-phase extraction of the samples and clean-up steps. The applications of gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques in the analysis of these compounds are exposed in tabular form and commented on. Sensitivity and instrument conditions of liqui…
Characterization of antihistamine–human serum protein interactions by capillary electrophoresis
2007
An important topic in the drug discovery and development process is the role of drug binding to plasma proteins. In this paper the characterization of the interaction between antihistamines (cationic drugs) towards human serum albumin (HSA) and alpha(1)-acid glycoprotein (AGP) under physiological conditions by capillary electrophoresis-frontal analysis is presented. Furthermore, the binding of these drugs to all plasma proteins is evaluated by using ultrafiltration and capillary electrophoresis. Antihistamines present a wide-ranging behaviour with respect to their affinities towards plasma proteins. Orphenadrine, phenindamine, tripelenamine and tripolidine principally bind to HSA; carbinoxa…
Fast enantiomeric separation of propranolol by affinity capillary electrophoresis using human serum albumin as chiral selector: application to qualit…
2004
Abstract In the last years, capillary electrophoresis (CE) has gained considerable interest in pharmaceutical laboratories for controlling the chiral purity of drugs. This paper describes a simple and fast method for resolution of propranolol enantiomers by affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) using human serum albumin (HSA) as chiral selector. The effect of several experimental variables such as HSA concentration, temperature, chiral selector plug length and addition of organic modifiers, on the separation is evaluated. Complete enantioresolution of R- and S-propranolol was achieved in less than 5 min when the capillary was completely filled with 100 μM HSA solution and the electrophor…

Screening of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors by CE after enzymatic reaction at capillary inlet.
2009
In this study the development of a procedure based on capillary electrophoresis after enzymatic reaction at capillary inlet methodology for the screening and in vitro evaluation of the biological activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors is presented. The progress of the enzymatic reaction of the hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine at pH 8 in the presence of AChE and the inhibitor studied is determined by measuring at 230 nm the peak area of the reaction product thiocholine (TCh). In the method employed the capillary was first filled with 30 mM borate-phosphate buffer (pH 8.0) and subsequently, plugs of: (i) water, (ii) AChE solution, (iii) substrate solution with or without inhibitor,…
Study on the efficiency of assembled packed microbore columns in HPLC
1984
Stainless steel columns (internally mirror-finished, 125 or 250nm in length, of bore 1.0 or 1.6mm) were slurry-packed with 5µm and 4µm reversed phase silicas (Hypersil ODS, LiChrosorb RP-8 and RP-18 and Superspher RP-8. The HPLC equipment consisted of a pump LC5A (Shimadzu) or a pump 2150 (LKB Instruments), a rheodyne valve 7413 with loops of 0.5, 1.0 and 5.0mm3 and a Jasco-Uvidec 100-II UV detector, variously with one of three specially constructed cells of 0.2, 0.4 and 1.3mm3 volume. Columns were assembled using two types of coupling device employing a stainless steel capillary of 0.12mm bore. The effect of sample volume, design of coupling device in assembled column, detector cell volume…
Improved detection of alkaloids in crude extracts applying capillary electrophoresis with field amplified sample injection
1997
Abstract A simple and effective method for the sensitive detection of alkaloids in crude plant extracts applying capillary electrophoresis with field amplified sample injection (FASI) is described. This method was compared with normal pressure injection for the determination of alkaloids in methanolic extracts from roots of Berberis vulgaris L. (Berberidaceae) and Hydrastis canadensis L. (Ranunculaceae) using a 1:1 mixture of 200 mM ammonium acetate at pH 3.1 and methanol. By introducing a short plug of 70% methanol (v/v) before electrokinetic injection with 16 kV for 8 s the concentration sensitivity was 1000-times higher compared to hydrodynamic injection for 1 s. No difference between bo…
Evaluation of molecular mass and tacticity of polyvinyl alcohol by non-equilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures of a polymer and…
2011
Non-equilibrium capillary electrophoresis of equilibrium mixtures (NECEEM) has been used to characterize polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Commercial PVA samples with different molecular masses, from M(w)=15 up to 205 kDa, were used. According to the (13)C NMR spectra, the samples also differed in tacticity (stereoregularity). Mixtures of PVA and the anionic azo-dye Congo Red (CR) were injected in the presence of a borate buffer. The electropherograms gave a band and a peak due to the residual PVA-CR complex and the excess dye, respectively, plus a superimposed exponential decay due to the partial dissociation of the complex during migration. The stoichiometry of the PVA-CR complex, q=[monomer]/[dye…
Assessment of haemoglobin measurement by several methods - blood gas analyser, capillary and venous HemoCue® , non-invasive spectrophotometry and lab…
2018
A laboratory haematology analyser is the gold standard for measuring haemoglobin concentration but has disadvantages, especially in neonates. This study compared alternative blood-sparing and non-invasive methods of haemoglobin concentration measurement with the gold standard. Haemoglobin concentrations were measured using a laboratory haematology analyser (reference method), blood gas analyser, HemoCue® using venous and capillary blood samples and a newly developed non-invasive sensor for neonates < 3 kg. A total of 63 measurements were performed. Body weight (2190 (1820-2520 [967-4450]) g) and haemoglobin concentration (12.3 (10.6-15.2 [8.2-20.5]) g.dl-1 ) varied widely. Bias/limits of ag…
