A rapid spectrofluorimetric method for the determination of the degree of synchronism inSaccharomyces cerevisiae
1985
A fluorescence technique that allows direct measurement of DNA and synchrony levels inSaccharomyces cerevisiae cell cultures is reported. The spectrofluorimetric estimation of DNA with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (AT-dye) does not require prior extraction, is highly stable, and requires small quantities of cells.
Quantitative Bestimmung von Gelatine in Arzneizubereitungen durch HPLC mit fluorimetrischer Detektion

Analysis of pigments from Spanish works of art using a portable EDXRF spectrometer
2002
Nowadays there is an intensive program for the conservation, restoration and analysis of the impressive and extensive Spanish cultural heritage. In the last few years, the Unidad de Arqueometria of the ICMUV has carry out a great quantity of in situ EDXRF analysis of pigments on materials of historic and cultural interest (altarpieces, frescoes, canvas, sculptures, etc.) from museums and churches of the whole of the Spanish geography. Here we present a few examples of the analysis of works of art using x-ray fluorescence spectrometry with a portable system based on x-ray tubes and a non-cryogenic Si-PIN detector. EDXRF qualitative and non-destructive analyses of stone, pigments and preparat…
Fluorimetric determination of 1-naphthol and mixtures of carbaryl and 1-naphthol in micellar media
1990
The interaction of 1-naphthol with different types of anionic, cationic and non-ionic surfactants has been studied spectrofluorimetrically in order to obtain a sensitivity enhancement in the determination of this compound. At neutral pH, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) provides a 2-fold sensitivity enhancement of 1-naphthol and exhibits a weak interaction with carbaryl. In strong alkaline medium carbaryl is hydrolyzed to 1-naphthol and in the presence of CTAB micells, a 5-fold sensitivity enhancement and a limit of detection of 0.2 μg·ml−1 with a 101±3% percentage of recovery is obtained. These facts permit the development of an accurate method for the fluorimetric analysis of 1-nap…
Sequential-injection determination of traces of disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulphonate in urine from users of sunscreens by on-line solid-ph…
2005
Abstract A sensitive and selective method to determine disodium phenyl dibenzimidazole tetrasulphonate (PDT) in the urine of sunscreen users, which is suitable for studies on body accumulation/excretion is proposed. On-line solid-phase extraction allows the analyte to be retained and subsequentely eluted, using a strong anion exchange (SAX) microcolumn. Standard addition calibration was carried out with only one standard. The wavelengths of excitation and emission were 330 and 454 nm, respectively. The method allows PDT to be determined in both, spiked and unspiked human urine samples, without any pre-treatment. Results obtained for spiked urine samples (40–200 ng ml −1 ) showed the accurac…
Evaluation of C18 adsorbent cartridges for sampling and derivatization of primary amines in air
2004
Abstract The sampling efficiency of C18 solid-phase extraction cartridges was investigated for methylamine, ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine and pentylamine, in air. Determination of these analytes was based on derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde–N-acetylcysteine (OPA–NAC) on the solid support and fluorescence detection at λexcitation=330 nm and λemission=440 nm of the eluted derivatives. The calibration model derived from aqueous standards was statistically comparable with the calibration model for air standards. Aqueous amines can be used as standards. The method was useful for calculating short-term exposure limits (STEL). A sampling time of 15 min at 30 ml min−1 was employed. Good…
Micellar enhanced fluorimetric determination of carbendazim in natural waters
1994
Abstract A micellar enhanced flow-injection fluorimetric method was developed for the determination of carbendazim in natural water samples. The method is based on the direct injection of 500 μ1 of water into a three-channel flow manifold in which the samples are merged with a buffer solution and subsequently with a surfactant solution. Two alternative procedures were used: one based on the use of sodium dodecyl sulphate micelles in 0.1 M HCl, which permits a 2.6-fold enhancement of the sensitivity found in the absence of micelles to be obtained, and the other based on the use of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide in 0.1 M NaOH, which provides a 11.6-fold enhancement of sensitivity and a limit …
Spectrofluorimetric Determination of Iproniazid and Isoniazid in a FIA System Provided with a Solid-Phase Reactor
1998
Abstract A FIA assembly is proposed for the fluorimetric determination of iproniazid and isoniazid. The oxidation of both drugs is carried out by H2O2. The excess of reagent is destroyed and removed from the flow-injection manifold by means of a metallic copper reactor which acts as catalyst in the decomposition of H2O2 and a home made debubbler. The calibration graphs were linear up to 14 μg ml−1 and 10 μg ml−1 (n=6) for iproniazid and isoniazid, respectively, with limits of detection of 0.008 μg ml−1 and 0.005 μg ml−1. The sample throughput was 24 h−1 for both drugs. The influence of foreign compounds was studied and the procedure was applied to determination of iproniazid and isoniazid i…
A solid-phase extraction and size-exclusion liquid chromatographic method for polyethylene glycol 25 p-aminobenzoic acid determination in urine: Vali…
2007
No previous publications about percutaneous absorption of polyethylene glycol 25 p-aminobenzoic acid (PEG-25 PABA) have been found in the literature and the expected levels to be found in human urine after sunscreens use are unknown. The method proposed here is suitable to determine PEG-25 PABA in the urine of sunscreens users in order to carry out studies on body accumulation/excretion. It is based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) with size-exclusion liquid chromatography determination. Solid-phase extraction allows the analyte to be retained and subsequently eluted for a clean-up, using a silica-based cartridge. The size-exclusion liquid chromatography of the eluted allows the rest of matr…
High performance liquid chromatography—atomic fluorescence spectrometric determination of arsenic species in beer samples
2003
Abstract A method has been developed for the direct determination of As(III), dimethylarsinic acid (DMA), monomethylarsonic acid (MMA) and As(V) in beers by hydride generation—atomic fluorescence spectrometry after separation of arsenic species by high performance liquid chromatography. Compounds were separated by anion-exchange chromatography with isocratic elution using KH 2 PO 4 /K 2 HPO 4 as mobile phase with elution times of 1.67, 2.08, 6.52 and 10.72 min for As(III), DMA, MMA and As(V), respectively. Parameters affecting the hydride generation of all arsenic species were studied and the best conditions were established as a reaction coil of 150 cm, for a sample injected volume of 100 …
