Abstract An improved visible spectrophotometric method has been developed for cyclopiazonic acid in poultry feed and corn. The method Is based on the reaction of cyclopiazonic acid with Ehrlich reagent and detection at 580 nm. Reaction conditions were optimized with respect to reaction and measurement times and acid and Ehrlich reagent concentrations. Calibration curves were linear from 1 to 20 μg cyclopiazonic acid in 3 mL Ehrlich reagent, with a lower detection limit of 0.08 mg/kg for 50 g samples of poultry feed and corn. Recoveries from 50 g samples of poultry feed spiked with cyclopiazonic ranging from 0.16 to 1.20 mg/kg averaged 93.8%. Moldy corn and poultry feed samples analyzed by this method contained between 1 and 4 mg/kg cyclopiazonic acid.

A study of extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace nitrite as 4-(4-nitrobenzenazo)-1-aminonaphthalene complex using n-amylalcohol and chloroform as organic solvents has been done. Results of the study showed that extraction-spectrophotometric determination of nitrite using n-amylalcohol or chloroform was very sensitive and had low limit of detection. Extraction-spectrophotometric method of nitrite using n-amylalcohol gave range of linear concentration 0.000-0.054 mg/L NO2--N, detection limit of 2.09x10-4 mg/L NO2--N, and sensitivity of 34.514 ± 0.398 absorbance unit per mg/L of NO2--N. Meanwhile, extraction-spectrophotometric of nitrite using chloroform had range of linear concentration of 0.000-0.100 mg/L NO2--N, detection limit of 8.99x10-4 mg/L NO2--N, and sensitivity of 18.353 ± 0.456 absorbance unit per mg/L NO2--N.   Keywords: Nitrite Trace, 4-(4-Nitrobenzenazo)-1-Aminonaphthalene, Extraction-Spectrophotometry

Abstract A manual immunonephelometric method for proteins has been developed by using an ordinary fluorometer as a nephelometer. By applying the enhancing effect of polyethylene glycol (av mol wt, 6000) on the immunological reaction, albumin and fibrinogen were quantitated after a 10-min reaction time. Under the present conditions the sensitivity was increased and thus antiserum consumption was decreased. The reaction conditions were carefully studied with respect to optimal time and concentration of the reactants. The precision of the method was 2.6-3.6% (CV). The lower detection limit in the albumin-antialbumin system was 0.1 mg/liter. Comparative studies showed a correlation coefficient of 0.991 with an automated immunonephelometric method for urinary albumin, and of 0.908 with a thrombin clottable method for plasma fibrinogen. We especially suggest use of this manual immunonephelometric method where small series of samples are to be analyzed.

A highly sensitive method for the determination of epinephrine was proposed, which was based on the perturbation of epinephrine to Briggs-Rauscher oscillating system involving malonic acid, Mn2+, H+, IO3 - and H2O2 at non-equilibrium stationary state. The concentration of KIO3 was chosen as a control parameter to find the bifurcation point in this paper. Results showed that a well linear relationship between the difference of potential and the negative logarithm concentrations of epinephrine existed in the range of 1.1?10-7?5.2?10-9 mol L-1 with a lower detection limit of 6.8?10-10mol L-1 and a correlation coefficient of 0.9974. Compared to the classical oscillating reaction, this method has a lower detection limit and wider linear range. The effects of some foreign species, which may possibly be existed with epinephrine, on determination were also investigated. The proposed method has been successfully used to determine the epinephrine both in the serum and adrenaline hydrochloride injection.

This report describes a method for the analysis of tri-aryl phosphate esters used commercially as lubricants. In a fish toxicity study, Imol S-140 (tri-tolyl phosphate) was extracted from fish tissue and water samples, hydrolyzed, and the individual phenols measured by gas chromatography as the trimethylsilyl derivatives. The lower detection limit was about 3 ppm of Imol in wet fish tissue.

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination ofN-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) andN-(2-mercaptopropionyl)glycine (MPG) in pharmaceutical preparations was developed, validated, and used. The proposed equilibrium method is based on a coupled two-step redox and complexation reaction. In the first step, Fe(III) is reduced to Fe(II) by NAC or MPG. Subsequently, Fe(II) is complexed with 2,4,6-tripyridyl-s-triazine (TPTZ). Several analytical parameters of the method were optimized for NAC and MPG analysis in the concentration range from 1.0 μM to 100.0 μM. Regression analysis of the calibration data showed a good correlation coefficient (0.9999). The detection limit of the method was 0.14 μM for NAC and 0.13 μM for MPG. The method was successfully applied to quantify NAC and MPG in pharmaceutical preparations. No interferences were observed from common pharmaceutical excipients.

The simple, rapid spectrophotometric method for palladium(II) ions determination using a new analytical reagent is described. The interaction of Pd(II) ions with a reagent, of the class of azolidones, 4-(N′-(4-imino-2-oxo-thiazolidine-5-ylidene)-hydrazino)-benzoic acid, in water medium results in the formation of a complex. The Pd(II)-p-ITYBA complex shows maximum absorbance at a wavelength of 450 nm. The molar absorptivity is 4.30 × 103 L·mol−1·cm−1. The optimal pH for complex formation is 7.0. The developed method has a wide linearity range of 0.64–10.64 µg·mL−1 for Pd(II). The detection limit is 0.23 µg·mL−1. It was found that Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Fe(III), Cu(II), Al(III), and many anions do not interfere with the Pd(II) determination. The proposed method was tested in the analysis of model solutions and successfully applied for the determination of palladium in catalyst. The obtained results show that this method can be used for serial determinations of palladium in various objects.

The polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAMG) has been used in cosmetology in China, Ukraine and Russia since 1990s. Because the monomer acrylamide(AM) used to produce PAMG has been implicated as a potential mutagen and reproductive toxicant[1,2], it is important to accurately determine the amount of residual AM monomer in the PAMG. In this study, a quick, practical and simple method to determine AM is presented with respect to the hydrogel. AM is analysed quantitatively by ODS-3 column with ultraviolet (UV) absorbance detector. AM is separated from interferential component with an aqueous solution of 0.9%NaCl (NS) adjusted at pH~3.7 using hydrochloric acid and then detected at a UV wavelength of 210 nm. The results show that ODS-3 is effective approach for quantifying AM concentrations in PAMG. This method has a lower detection limit of 0.003µg/ml and a linear response range of 0.003 and 0.9 µg/ml (depending on the range required for analysis). Precision studies give coefficients of variation of <3.2%(n=5) for 0.003µg/ml. The recoveries for this method are greater than 90%. When AM content in PAMG is lower than the detection limit of this method, SPE (solid phase extraction) could be used to concentrate AM. In the case, C18 cartridge is used. And the recoveries are about 70% for SPE when AM concentration is lower than ppb.
