Abstract A biosensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) measurement was developed for use in an immunoassay for detection of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in milk. The biospecific surface was a carboxymethyl dextran¯modified gold-surface sensor chip to which SMZ was covalently bound. The assay was based on inhibition of the binding of polyclonal antibodies to immobilized SMZ by SMZ in the sample. The SPR response changed inversely in relation to the antibiotic concentration in the sample. Calibration curves were constructed for SMZ in buffer and in milk at a concentration which included the maximum residue limit (0 to 200 μg/kg). The analysis time per sample varied from 8 to 30 min. Different flow rates and antibodies were modified alternatively during the study to assess their influence on the performance of the assay. The active antibody concentration was calculated at approximately 1880 and 180 nM for the antibody anti-SMZ 1 and the antibody anti-SMZ 2, respectively. No cross-reactivity of antibodies with other antibiotics was found. Under optimal conditions, the detection limits in milk for SMZ were 8 and 1.7 μg/kg, respectively, for antibody 1 and antibody 2, at a flow rate of 20 μL/min.

Abstract An SPE of Au (III) on a 2-aminobenzothiazole–coated Diaion SP 207-column system has been developed. The parameters, including pH of solution, amount of 2-aminobenzothiazole, eluent type, sample volume, and flow rates, were examined. The effects of alkali, alkali earth, and some metals were also studied. The recovery values at optimal conditions and detection limits for Au (III) were found as >95% and 3.8 μg L−1, respectively. The factor of preconcentration was 250. The RSD value was <5%. The capacity of adsorption for the resin was 10.4 mg g−1. The accuracy of the method was evaluated by the use of CDN-GS-3D gold-certified reference material. The proposed procedure for the determination of gold was applied to water, mine, soil, and anodic slime samples.

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.

The excessive use and ingestion of residues of sulfonamides harm the human body and the environment. To meet the requirements of the maximum residue limit specified by the Ministry of Agriculture of China, a rapid detection method urgently needs to be developed. In the present study, a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) that could selectively recognize sulfadiazine (SDZ) was prepared using SDZ as the template molecule and methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. Using MIP as biomimetic antibody and Au@Pt@SiO2 nanozyme as a marker, a new biomimetic immunoassay was developed to detect sulfadiazine. Under the optimal conditions, the limit of detection (IC15) and sensitivity (IC50) of this method were 0.09 and 6.1 mg/L, respectively. To determine the accuracy of this method, honey and milk samples spiked with sulfadiazine were analyzed, with recoveries in the range of 70.8%-90.2%. The method was also used for the quantitative analysis of sulfadiazine residues in milk powder and milk samples, producing results which correlated well with those obtained by high-performance liquid chromatography.

Test means based on immobilized Fehling’s reagent for the determination of cephalexin have been obtained. Methods for visual and colorimetric assessment of antibiotic concentration using a smartphone camera have been developed. The optimal conditions for the indicator reaction have been selected with varying heating time and temperature. For a visual semi-quantitative assessment of the content of cephalexin, a color scale has been obtained. The metrological characteristics of the test method have been determined: the range of the determined contents is 0.5–16 mg/ml, the unreliability interval is 0.1–0.4 mg/ml, and the detection limit is 0.4 mg / ml. For the colorimetric assessment of the concentration of cephalexin, a linear dependence of the intensity of the Blue channel on the logarithm of the concentration of cephalexin (у = –96x + 144, r 2 = 0.99) has been constructed, and linear dependences of the area (у = –36986x + 62458, r 2 = 0.96) and perimeter (у = –270x + 786, r 2 = 0.93) from the logarithm of the concentration of cephalexin have been obtained. The range of the determined contents was 0.1–16 mg/ml, the lower limit was 0.1 mg / ml. The verification of the correctness of the developed test methods was carried out by the «introduced-found» method (Sr  0.13).

The use of antibodies as labels for the localization of specific molecules in the nervous systan has been extensively applied in recent years. Both monoand polyclonal antibodies or antisera have been employed. The knowledge of the organization of neuronal connectivities, gliovascular relationships, glioneuronal relationships and other features of nerve tissue has greatly increased.A number of areas of the nervous systan have been analyzed in our laboratory, including the nuclei of the raphe system, the reticular formation, interpeduncular nucleus, substantia nigra, caudate nucleus, putamen, pallidum, spinal cord, pineal gland and others.From a technical point of view, a number of variables needed to be taken into account in order to obtain reliable and reproducible results. The design of the optimal conditions of tissue fixation, embedding, sectioning, dilution of antibodies, and adaptation of Sternberger PAP technique were sane of the parameters taken into account to optimize the results. It is critical that each step of the technique be defined for each particular case.

Human prothrombin activation is unique in that, in addition to the release of fragment 1.2 (FI.2) from the NH-terminus of prothrombin by factor Xa during the generation of thrombin, an additional 13 residue polypeptide, fragment 3 (F3), is autocatalytically removed from the amino-terminus of the thrombin A chain. We have developed a rapid radioimmunoassay for human F3 which incorporates short incubation times and the use of a preprecipitated second antibody; the assay can be performed in three hours. Specificity studies in buffer systems show prothrombin and prethrombin 1 cross-reacting at a level of 0.001; purified thrombin does not cross-react. In the presence of 5% BSA, prothrombin displays considerably less cross-reactivity. No immunoreactive material to F3 antibodies could be detected in 400 μL of plasma. Serum, obtained from whole blood clotting, contained measurable quantities of F3 (40-100 ng/mL). This amount in serum represents only 5-10% of the theoretical amount available should all of the fragment be hydrolytically cleaved during the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. This assay procedure is currently being utilized to monitor the activation of purified human prothrombin in the absence and presence of selected plasma inhibitors.

The composition, optical characteristics, molar absorption coefficients and equilibrium constants of the reactions of formation of the ML and ML2 complexes of both reagents with cadmium(II) ions were determined by graphical analysis and numerical interpretation of the absorbance-pH curves by the modified SQUAD-G program. Optimal conditions were proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of Cd in 10% v/v ethanol medium in the presence of 0.1% w/v Triton X-100 or 1% w/v Brij 35. BrPADAP and ClPADAP are the most sensitive spectrophotometric reagents for the determination of cadmium(II) ions (ε = 1.28-1.44 . 105 mmol-1 cm2 at 560 nm and pH 8.0-9.5) with a high colour contrast in the reaction (Δλmax ~117 nm) and a selectivity similar to that of other N-heterocyclic azodyes (PAR, PAN, etc.).

Specific gas-liquid interfacial area in flow tubes 70 mm in diameter of the length 725 and 1 450 mm resp. containing various swirl bodies were measured for concurrent upward flow in the ranges of average gas (air) velocities 11 to 35 ms-1 and liquid flow rates 13 to 80 m3 m-2 h-1 using the method of CO2 absorption into NaOH solutions. Two different flow regimes were observed: slug flow swirled annular-mist flow. In the latter case the determination was carried out separately for the film and spray flow components, respectively. The obtained specific areas range between 500 to 20 000 m3 m-2. Correlation parameters are energy dissipation criteria, related to the geometrical reactor volume and to the static liquid volume in the reactor.

The polarographic reduction of the title azo dye was studied and optimal conditions were found for its analytical utilization in the concentration range 1 . 10-6 - 1 . 10-7 mol l-1 using differential pulse polarography and 1 . 10-6 - 1 . 10-8 mol l-1 using fast scan differential pulse voltammetry or linear scan voltammetry at a hanging mercury drop electrode. When the latter technique is combined with adsorptive accumulation of the studied substance on the surface of the hanging mercury drop, the determination limit can be further decreased to 3 . 10-9 mol l-1.
