Flow injection biamperometric determination of metronidazole with on-line photodegradation
1999
Abstract The determination of metronidazole is performed in a flow injection assembly, provided with a 40 W low pressure mercury lamp and a home-made biamperometric flow-cell furnished with two platinum electrodes polarized at 100 mV. The sample solution after being irradiated is inserted into a pure water stream. It then merges with an in situ mixed solution containing potassium iodide in sulphuric acid. The calibration graph was linear over the range 0.2–8.0 mg l −1 metronidazole; the 3 σ limit of detection was 0.008 mg l −1 ; the relative standard deviation was 0.6% (for 4 mg l −1 n = 13) and the sample throughput 50 h −1 . The influence of foreign compounds is slight and the method is …
Fourier transform infrared spectrometric strategies for the determination of Buprofezin in pesticide formulations
2002
Abstract Two different strategies for Buprofezin determination, an off-line extraction and stopped-flow determination and an automated procedure, based on the on-line extraction of Buprofezin samples with chloroform and flowing action analysis–fourier transform infrared (FIA–FT-IR) spectrometric measurement of the extracts, have been developed. For the treatment of the off-line extraction mode, data a three-factor partial least squares (PLSs) calibration was developed, using the region from 1465.7 to 1342.3 cm−1 with a single point baseline defined at 2051.9 cm−1 and based on the use of chloroform solutions of Buprofezin. The method provides a R.S.D. On the other hand, the recommended FIA m…
Direct flow injection chemiluminescence determination of salicylamide
1999
Abstract A new direct flow injection chemiluminescence method is proposed for the determination of salicylamide, based upon the oxidation of the drug by potassium permanganate in dilute sulphuric acid. The calibration graph is linear over the range 20 ng ml−1 (30 limit of detection)–8 μg ml−1 salicylamide, with a relative standard deviation (n=50, 0.5 μg ml−1) of 1.7%. The average sample insertion rate is 142 h−1. The influence of relevant foreign compounds is found to be relatively slight. The method is applied to the determination of salicylamide in a pharmaceutical formulation and human urine.
Determination of cyanide by a flow injection analysis-atomic absorption spectrometric method
1999
A new flow injection analysis (FIA) procedure is proposed for the indirect atomic absorption spectrometric determination of cyanide. The FIA manifold is based on the insertion of the sample into a distilled water carrier, then the sample flows through a solid-phase reactor filled with silver iodide entrapped in polymeric resin beads. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.2-6.0 mg l-1 of cyanide (correlation coefficient 0.9974), the detection limit is 0.1 mg l-1, the sample throughput is 193 h-1 and the RSD is 0.8%. The method is simple, quick and more selective than other published FIA procedures. The reproducibility obtained by using different solid-phase reactors and solutions …
Flow injection spectrophotometric determination of lead using 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone in aqueous micellar
2009
A simple flow injection colorimetric procedure for determining lead was established. It is based on the reaction of lead in sulfuric acid with 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone and sodium dodecyl sulfate, resulting in an intense red-blue complex with a suitable absorption at 500 nm. A standard or sample solution was injected into the sulfuric acid stream (flow rate of 2.0 ml min(-1)), which was then merged with sodium dodecyl sulfate stream (flow rate of 2.0 ml min(-1)) and 1,5-diphenylthiocarbazone stream (flow rate of 1.5 ml min(-1)). Optimum conditions for determining lead were investigated by univariate method. Under the optimum conditions, a linear calibration graph was obtained over the range…
Determination of levamisole hydrochloride with HgI(2-)4 by a turbidimetric method and flow-injection analysis.
1986
Abstract This paper is concerned with the use of ion-association compounds in the analysis of pharmaceutical samples by FIA. The usual extraction into an organic phase is avoided by using turbidimetric detection. Determination of levamisole with HgI2−4 has been developed as a practical example: the experimental variables were optimized by the modified simplex method. The calibration graph is linear over the levamisole concentration range 7–32 μ g ml . The reproducibility (rsd) and injection sample rate are 0.9% and 80/hr, respectively.
Evaluation of the interelemental effect in X-ray fluorescence analysis by the total addition method
1992
An algorithm for quantifying interelemental effects in X-ray fluorescence techniques is developed. By applying an addition process, the ratio between the mass absorption coefficients of the analyte and the unknown sample (μi*/μs*) is calculated to correct the fluorescence intensity of the element to be determined and linearize the I-c calibration plot. This coefficient can be calculated graphically and numerically. The method is applied to the determination of tin in lead alloys with good results over wide concentration ranges.
Permian-Cenozoic deep-water carbonate rocks of the Southern Tethyan Domain. The case of Central Sicily
2016
We present an integrated stratigraphy of the outcropping and buried Permian-Cenozoic deep-water carbonate successions, forming some of the tectonic units mostly buried beneath the Late Neogene sedimentary cover in the fold and thrust belt of Central Sicily. Three main successions, pertaining to the well known Lercara, Imerese and Sicanian domains, have been reconstructed on the basis of a detailed facies analysis, seismostratigraphic interpretation, bio -stratigraphy (mostly based on palynological data) and comparison between outcropping and subsurface deep-water sediments. The main results reveal a continuous sedimentation of the deep-water Southern Tethyan Sicilian succession since the Pe…
Fluorometric determination of chemically available lysine: adaptation, validation and application to different milk products.
2004
A spectrophotometric method based on the reaction between available lysine and ortho-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) was adapted and validated for fluorometric determination of the chemically available lysine contents in milk matrices (UHT and conventional in-bottle sterilized cow milk, milk-based infant formulas and infant formula ingredients). The values of the analytical parameters show its usefulness as a routine method (linearity, r = 0.9992; detection limit, 0.0066 mg/mL assay; accuracy, 99-108%; precision, intra-day 2.1-5.9% and inter-day 3.5 10.2%). No statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) were found between the values obtained with the adapted method and those obtained applying t…
Evolution of emerging Fusarium mycotoxins contents throughout the shelf-life period of food
2014
which is cooked by steaming. It has been historically eaten in North African countries but nowadays its consumption is widely extended all around the world. As a cereal-based food, semolina is highly susceptible to contamination by mycotoxin-producing fungi. The presented procedure involves a modified QuEChERSbased extraction of 24 mycotoxins (15-ADON, 3-ADON, AFLAB1, AFLAB2, AFLAG1, AFLAG2, BEA, DON, DAS, ENA, ENA1, ENB, ENB1, FB1, FB2, FB3, FUSX, HT-2, NEO, NIV, OTA, STG, T2, ZEA) produced by Aspergillus, Penicillum and Fusarium fungi. The validation was performed by analyzing recovery samples at three different spiked concentrations with four replicates (n=4) at each concentration. Recov…
