Development of immunoaffinity columns for pyraclostrobin extraction from fruit juices and analysis by liquid chromatography with UV detection
2010
Abstract Pyraclostrobin belongs to a new generation of fungicides widely used to preserve high valuable crops. In the present study, three monoclonal antibodies with different affinities to this modern strobilurin have been evaluated for their usefulness in the production of immunoaffinity columns suitable for the solid-phase extraction, concentration, and clean-up of residues from food commodities. Different immunosorbents were produced and characterized in terms of antibody immobilization efficiency, immunosorbent binding capacity, optimum elution conditions, and reusability. Covalent coupling of the antibodies to Sepharose–CNBr gel took place with high yield (over 90%), whereas the immun…
Selective determination of trimethylamine in air by liquid chromatography using solid phase extraction cartridges for sampling.
2004
Abstract The selective determination of trimethylamine (TMA) in air by liquid chromatography is reported. Sampling is effected by flushing air through C18-packed solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges at a flow rate of 15 mL/min for 15 min. Next, TMA is desorbed from the cartridges and injected into the chromatographic system. The analyte is then selectively retained on a precolumn ( 20 mm ×2.1 mm i.d., packed with 30 μm, Hypersil C18 phase), and derivatized on-line by injecting 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC). Finally, the TMA-FMOC derivative is transferred to the analytical column ( 125 mm ×4 mm i.d., LiChrospher 100 RP18, 5 μm), and monitored at 262 nm. The method was applied to …
Spectrophotometric determination of promazine with an oxidative column in FIA manifolds
1992
Abstract A simple flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of promazine is described. The two proposed procedures are based on the oxidation of analyte with a manganese dioxide column. Concentrations of promazine in the ranges 2–20 and 1–6 are determined with a relative standard deviation of 1.0%. The injection rates are 62 and 80 samples h −1 , respectively. The influence of foreign species and the determination of promazine in a pharmaceutical formulation are also reported.
o-Phthalaldehyde–N-acetylcysteine polyamine derivatives: formation and stability in solution and in C18 supports
2001
A comparative study of different derivatization procedures has been performed in order to improve the stability of the reaction products o-phthalaldehyde-N-acetylcysteine (OPA-NAC) polyamines. Procedures such as solution derivatization, solution derivatization followed by retention on a packing support, derivatization on different packing supports and on-column derivatization, have been optimized and compared. The degradation rate constant (k) of the derivative was dependent on the procedure used and on the analyte. For the spermine (the most unstable isoindol tested) k was 8 +/- 2 x 10(-2) min(-1) in solution versus 7.7 +/- 1.1 x 10(-4) min(-1) on the (C18) solid support. The results obtai…
Environmentally friendly LC for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid and its derivatives in skin-whitening cosmetics
2008
Ascorbic acid (AA), also known as vitamin C, is a very popular skin-whitening agent used in cosmetics. However, the use of AA (and also its sodium or magnesium salts) in cosmetic products is limited owing to its labile oxidative properties. In order to avoid its early degradation, different derivatives have been designed, such as ascorbyl phosphate (APH; as magnesium or sodium salts) and ascorbyl palmitate (AP), and more recently the ascorbyl glucoside (AG). Bearing in mind that all these chemicals in skin-whitening cosmetic products must be determined in order to control the efficacy of such products, this paper focuses on developing a wide-ranging LC analytical method able to determine th…
H-Point Curve Isolation Method for Coupled Liquid Chromatography and UV−Visible Spectrophotometry
2000
The H-point curve isolation method (HPCIM) for the detection of unknown interferences in chromatography is proposed. The method allows one to estimate the UV-vis spectra of interfering species in a sample as well as to test the purity of the chromatographic peaks. Besides the detection of the unknown interferences in a sample, this method allows one to calculate the concentration of an analyte in the presence of unknown compounds. To illustrate the reliability of the proposed method, samples of diuretics and amphetamines have been analyzed by normal- and reversed-phase high-performance chromatography.
Generalised H-point standard addition method for the isolation of the analyte signal from the sample signal when coelution of unknown compounds occur…
1999
The generalised H-point standard addition method (GHPSAM) is proposed for isolating the analytical signal of an analyte from the signal of an unknown sample. Samples containing two and three coeluting compounds have been analysed. The accuracy of the predictions depends on the shape of the analyte and interferent spectra but not on the degree of chromatographic overlap. This methodology involves the location of linear intervals for the unknown interference spectrum from the spectrum of the sample. Once the linear interval has been found the selection of three wavelengths within the interval will allow the cancellation of the signal of the unknown interferent. The method has been applied to …
Determination of triamterene and its main metabolite hydroxytriamterene sulfate in human urine by capillary electrophoresis using ultraviolet absorba…
2002
Abstract Two capillary electrophoresis methods have been developed for the direct determination of triamterene and its main metabolite hydroxytriamterene sulfate in human urine. Analytes were detected using conventional UV detection as well as laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) detection with an HeCd-laser operating at a wavelength of 325 nm. The results of both detection techniques were compared. Indeed, the limit of quantification was eightfold lower using LIF detection (50 ng/ml) in comparison to UV detection (400 ng/ml). As no interference due to endogenous urine compounds was observed, direct urine analysis was feasible. Analysis was very simple and fast—one run could be performed within…
A solid colorimetric sensor for the analysis of amphetamine-like street samples.
2016
A solid sensor obtained by embedding 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NQS) into polydimethylsiloxane/tetraethylortosilicate/silicon dioxide nanoparticles composite has been developed to identify and determine amphetamine (AMP), methamphetamine (MAMP), 3,4-methylenedioxymetamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). The analytes are derivatized inside the composite for 10 min to create a colored product which can be then quantified by measuring the diffuse reflectance or the color intensity after processing the digitalized image. Satisfactory limits of detection (0.002–0.005 g mL−1) and relative standard deviations (<10%) have been achieved. The proposed kit has been successfu…
Identification of fish species by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode-array detection
1998
A method for the separation of sarcoplasmic fish proteins by RP-HPLC is described. The procedure revealed significant differences useful for reliable identification of fish species. Sixteen of the most common Finnish freshwater fish species were differentiated by species-specific HPLC chromatograms obtained using photodiode-array detection (PAD) at 200-350 nm. The analytical column was a Hi-Pore RP-304 reversed-phase column. The separation was performed by a linear gradient of acetonitrile and water with a small amount of trifluoracetic acid (TFA). Star-symbol plots were constructed from the chromatograms to visualize the data. Clearly different HPLC protein profiles for most fish species w…
