Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for the quantitative determination of sulfamoyldapsone (2-sulfamoyl-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone) in swine muscle, liver, kidney, and fat. Sulfamoyldapsone was extracted from tissues with acetonitrile saturated with n-hexane. The extract was washed with n-hexane saturated with acetonitrile, concentrated, and cleaned up by alumina column chromatography. Sulfamoyldapsone was separated on an ODS column by using acetonitrile-methanol-water (6 + 18 + 76) and was detected at 292 nm. Overall average recovery of sulfamoyldapsone added to tissues at levels of 0.1 and 0.5 /μg/g was 93.3% ± 6.0. Detection limit was 0.02 μg/g in these tissues.

Quantitative determination of heavy metals; Fe, Zn, Co, Pb and Ni in Mango fruit of Nepali origin, locally sourced was carried out. Fifteen Mango samples were collected by random sampling method, converted into analyte sample by standard method and analyzed by using Atomic absorption spectrometric method. The amount of heavy metals Fe, Zn, Co and Ni present in sample was, 0.570±0.48, 0.510±0.031, 0.431±0.021, 0.106±0.003 mg/kg respectively. The results indicated the concentration of Zn & Co were higher (WHO 0.320 & 0.05), and the concentration of Nickel (Ni) was below the maximum permissible limit issued by WHO. The concentration of the Lead (Pb) was found below the detection limit of the instrument used.

A method, its optimalization and a solution to specific problems is described for the quantitative determination of endotoxins in blood. The method is based upon the endotoxin-dependent activation of a proenzyme, present in limulus ame- bocyte lysate. This activated enzyme is measured with the chromogenic substrate S2222. Possible inhibitors and activated coagulationfactors interfering in the assay are removed by dilution and boiling. The method is shown to be fast (2½ hr), sensitive and reproducible with a detection limit of 10 pg/ml.The endotoxin assay was found to have a good correlation with results of blood cultures.The detection threshold of the endotoxin assay compared with the number of circulating gramnegative organisms and CRD-measurements will also be shown.

Abstract Background: Only cobalamin carried by transcobalamin (holo-transcobalamin) is available for cellular uptake and hence is physiologically relevant. However, no reliable or accurate methods for quantifying holo-transcobalamin are available. We report a novel holo-transcobalamin assay based on solid-phase capture of transcobalamin. Methods: A monoclonal antibody specific for human transcobalamin with an affinity constant >1010 L/mol was immobilized on magnetic microspheres to capture and concentrate transcobalamin. The cobalamin bound to transcobalamin was then released and assayed by a competitive binding radioassay. The quantification of holo-transcobalamin was accomplished using calibrators composed of recombinant, human holo-transcobalamin. Results: The assay was specific for holo-transcobalamin and had a detection limit of 5 pmol/L. Within-run and total imprecision (CV) was 5% and 8–9%, respectively. The working range (CV <20%) was 5–370 pmol/L. Dilutions of serum were linear in the assay range. The recovery of recombinant, human holo-transcobalamin added to serum was 93–108%. A 95% reference interval of 24–157 pmol/L was established for holo-transcobalamin in 105 healthy volunteers 20–80 years of age. For 72 of these sera, holo-haptocorrin and total cobalamin were also determined. Whereas holo-haptocorrin correlated well (r2 = 0.87) with total cobalamin, holo-transcobalamin correlated poorly (r2 = 0.23) with total cobalamin or holo-haptocorrin. Conclusions: The solid-phase capture assay provides a simple, reliable method for quantitative determination of holo-transcobalamin in serum.

A novel immunoassay has been developed for the quantitative determination of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) using indirect competitive format. A new method was developed to synthesize PBBs congener (PCB15) hapten and its artificial immunogen, then the polyclonal antibodies. The assay was optimized concerning the coating conjugate and antibody concentration, incubation time and temperature, the tolerance to organic solvents and so on. Under optimized conditions, PBB15 can be determined in the concentration range of 0.01-100 μg L-1 with a detection limit of 0.02 μg L-1. The cross-reactivities of the assays were below 8%. While water samples could be analyzed directly.

A molecularly imprinted sensor was prepared for the selective determination of oxidized glutathione with a detection limit of 1.8 × 10−9 mol L−1, which was lower than most of the other methods.
