Chemiluminometric determination of the pesticide 3-indolyl acetic acid by a flow injection analysis assembly
2005
Abstract A new method is proposed for the chemiluminescent determination of the pesticide 3-indolyl acetic acid by means of an flow injection analysis system. The chemiluminescence emission is obtained by oxidation of the analyte with Ce (IV) in nitric acid and presence of β-cyclodextrine. The continuous-flow method allows the determination of 159 samples h−1 of 3-indolyl acetic acid in an interval of concentrations over the range 0.5–15.0 mg l−1. The limit of detection was 0.1 μg l−1 and the R.S.D. (n, 17) at 2.0 mg l−1 of the pesticide level was 2.7%. The method was applied to water samples.
Liquid chromatographic determination of trimethylamine in water.
2004
A method for the selective determination of trimethylamine (TMA) in aqueous matrices by liquid chromatography is reported. The proposed procedure is based on the derivatization of the analyte with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) in a precolumn (Hypersil C18, 30 microm, 20 mm x 2.1 mm i.d.) connected on-line to the analytical column (LiChrosphere 100 RP18, 5 microm, 125 mm x 4 mm i.d.). Gradient elution was performed with a mixture of acetonitrile-water-0.05 M borate buffer (pH 9.0). The method has been applied to the direct determination of TMA in water within the 0.25-10.0 microg/ml concentration interval, and can also be adapted to the determination of TMA over the range 0.05-1.0 m…
Quantitation of talinolol in rat plasma by LC-MS-MS.
2010
The aim of this study was to develop and validate an assay based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantitate talinolol in rat plasma. After a simple protein precipitation step, separation was performed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography using gradient elution with acetonitrile-water-formic acid. Electrospray ionization in the positive ion mode with multiple reaction monitoring was used to analyze talinolol employing propranolol as internal standard. The calibration curve for talinolol was linear over the concentration range 1-250 ng/mL with a correlation coefficient0.995. The method was sensitive (limit of quantitation, 1 ng/mL) and had acceptable accuracy (85-115% …
Influence of water sample storage protocols in chemiluminescence detection of trace elements.
2002
This paper shows the influence of different sample storage protocols, on the chemiluminescence signal of some metal ions. The storage protocols studied were: acid addition (HCl or HNO(3)) and no reagent addition to filtered and refrigerated (T=4 degrees C) samples. Light emission was produced for the chemiluminescence reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide in buffer carbonate conditions (pH 10.8) catalysed by Cr(III), Co(II) and Cu(II). Batch and/or flow modes in different conditions were tested. Fe(II), Fe(III), Ni(II) and Mn(II) did not give chemiluminescence in the studied conditions. A parallel study of sensitivity and selectivity was performed. Then the presence or absence of t…
Determination of N -nitrosamines in cosmetic products by vortex-assisted reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction and liquid chromatog…
2018
A new analytical method for the simultaneous determination of trace levels of seven prohibited N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosodimethylamine, N-nitrosoethylmethylamine, N-nitrosopyrrolidine, N-nitrosodiethylamine, N-nitrosopiperidine, N-nitrosomorpholine, and N-nitrosodiethanolamine) in cosmetic products has been developed. The method is based on vortex-assisted reversed-phase dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction, which allows the extraction of highly polar compounds, followed by liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The variables involved in the extraction process were studied to obtain the highest enrichment factor. Under the selected conditions, 75 μL of water as extraction solvent …
FI automatic method for the determination of copper(II) based on coproporphyrin I-Cu(II)/TCPO/H(2)O(2) chemiluminescence reaction for the screening o…
2004
Abstract In this paper, an automatic method for the screening of water samples containing Cu(II) was proposed, based on peryoxalate chemiluminescence reaction using coproporphyrin I as fluorophor compound to provide selectivity and a simple flow injection (FI) chemiluminescence detector (CLD). FI system conditions were chosen in order to distinguish samples over or under legislation limit established (50 μg l−1) with high reliability. The detection limit found was 9 μg l−1 and the linear dynamic range was 15–125 μg l−1 of Cu(II). Repeatibility and reproducibility studies gave good precision and accuracy with recovery near 100%. Under these conditions, the method resulted selective and only …
Selective and sentivive method based on capillary liquid chromatography with in-tube solid phase microextraction for determination of monochloramine …
2015
Abstract Due to the difficulties of working with chloramines, a critical examination of monochloramine standard preparation has been performed in order to select the best synthesis conditions. The analyte has been determined by in-tube solid phase extraction coupled to capillary liquid chromatography with UV detection (IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD). Potential factors affecting the response of monochloramine such as the pH of mobile phase and the volume of sample processed by IT-SPME Capillary LC DAD have been investigated and optimized. According to the results of the study, 0.1 mL or 4.0 mL of sample at neutral pH were loaded in the chromatographic system. A sensitive and selective method has …
Sensitive determination of methylenedioxylated amphetamines by liquid chromatography.
2001
Different strategies for the liquid chromatographic determination of methylenedioxylated amphetamines were evaluated: separation and detection of underivatized analytes by (i) UV or (ii) fluorescence, (iii) derivatization with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride followed by separation and UV detection of the derivatives formed and (iv) derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) and subsequent separation and fluorimetric detection of the derivatives. The compounds tested were 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE). On the basis of these studies, a new procedure for the chromatographic determination of…
Automated trace enrichment for screening and/or determination of primary, secondary and tertiary amphetamines in biological samples by liquid chromat…
1999
A rapid and simple liquid chromatographic method for the automated determination of amphetamines in biological fluids was developed. The proposed procedure is based on the injection of 250 microL of sample into a 20 x 2.1 mm id precolumn (packed with a 30 microns Hypersil C18 stationary phase) for enrichment and purification of the analytes. Next, the analytes are transferred to a 5 microns LiChrospher 100 RP18, 125 x 4 mm id analytical column for their separation under reversed-phase conditions. Water was used to eliminate the matrix components from the precolumn and a 0.2 M phosphate buffer (pH 3) containing 2% triethylamine was the mobile phase for the resolution of the amphetamines. The…
Photo-induced chemiluminescence determination of the pesticide Buminafos by a Multicommutation flow-analysis assembly
2008
Abstract The preliminary experiments in this paper deal with the photo-induced chemiluminescent behaviour of Buminafos family, after the experimental screening tests and several of them resulted positive, the herbicide Buminafos was selected to develop a new analytical method. The determination of Buminafos was performed with the aid of a Multicommutation (a solenoid valve set) assembly. The method involves the on-line photo-degradation of the analyte (stopped flow, 5 s) with the selected suitable medium (0.05% hydrogen peroxide) and its subsequent chemiluminescent oxidation by the potassium permanganate. Sample solution alternated segments with the photo-degradation medium; and, after the …
