A polarographic method was described in an earlier report which permits the accurate, rapid determination of oxygen content in small samples of blood. As with the Van Slyke technic, total oxygen capacity was formerly estimated by a separate determination of the oxygen content after complete saturation with oxygen of another portion of the blood sample. Further experience with the polarographic method has revealed the feasibility of estimating both content and capacity in a single blood sample. The capacity estimate is made possible by the polarographic observation of the quantity of potassium ferricyanide required to convert ferrohemoglobin to ferrihemoglobin. The measurement of oxygen content is performed, as previously described, by the polarographically determined increase in physically dissolved oxygen caused by the release of bound oxygen. By this means, one avoids sampling and random errors inherent in the use of two separate determinations. The method requires only a brief time for performance and ordinary technical proficiency. It is also simple in application. polarographic dropping mercury electrode; oxygen tension; digitonin; potassium ferricyanide; ferrohemoglobin; ferrihemoglobin Submitted on June 24, 1964

A reliable and simple differential pulse polarographic method is presented for the determination of the antimalarial artemisinin in Artemisia annua. The polarographic behaviour of artemisinin was examined in various buffer systems over the pH range 2–10. Artemisinin was irreversibly reduced at the dropping mercury electrode. In 0.1 M KH2PO4, pH 5.5, mixed with methanol (7:3; v/v), the differential pulse polarograms exhibited reproducible peaks at 0.0 V vs. Ag/AgCl and a plot of peak height against concentration of artemisinin was found to be linear over the range 6.4 × 10−7 - 3.2 × 10−5 mol/L (R = 0.9998). The detection limit was calculated to be 58 ng/mL. The polarographic method was applied to the determination of the content of artemisinin in the traditional Chinese herbal drug Artemisia annua L. by using the standard addition method. The proposed DPP method is sensitive, precise and time-efficient and is, therefore, suitable for quantitative analysis of artemisinin in plant extracts.

Benzoyl peroxide and cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) are reduced at the anodically polarized dropping mercury electrode, the former at about +0.3 volt vs. S.C.E., and the latter at +0.1 v. Their half-wave potentials as well as that of the two reduction steps of dissolved oxygen are gradually shifted towards more negative values with increasing concentration of organic peroxides. The polarographic method is suitable for determining these peroxides in concentrations up to 2 × 10−3 mole per liter. Dissolved oxygen does not interfere seriously with the analyses.

A method is described for determining total platinum content in urine, blood plasma and tissues of patients or experimental animals receiving cis-dichlorodiamineplatinum(II). The method is based on drying and combustion of the biological material in a muffle furnace. The product of the combustion is dissolved successively in aqua regia, hydrochloric acid and ethylenediamine. The resulting platinum-ethylenediamine complex yields a catalytic current at a dropping mercury electrode allowing to determine platinum by differential pulse polarography. Platinum levels of c. 50-1 000 ng per ml of the biological fluid or per 0.5 g of a tissue can readily be analyzed with a linear calibration.

Polarographic reduction of the genotoxic N,N’-dinitrosopiperazine was studied and its mechanism was suggested. Optimum conditions were established for the determination of this substance by tast polarography over the concentration region of 1 . 10-3 to 1 . 10-6 mol l-1 and by differential pulse polarography on the conventional dropping mercury electrode or by fast scan differential pulse voltammetry and linear sweep voltammetry on a hanging mercury drop electrode over the concentration region of 1 . 10-3 to 1 . 10-7 mol l-1. Attempts at increasing further the sensitivity via adsorptive accumulation of the analyte on the surface of the hanging mercury drop failed. The methods are applicable to the testing of the chemical efficiency of destruction of the title chemical carcinogen based on its oxidation with potassium permanganate in acid solution.

The polarographic behaviour was studied for 6-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy-7-hydroxycoumarin, a natural compound serving as an optical whitening agent. The substance can be quantitated by tast polarography, differential pulse polarography using a conventional dropping mercury electrode, and differential pulse polarography using a static mercury drop electrode over the regions of 20-1 000, 2-1 000, and 0.2-1 000 μmol l-1, respectively. The methods developed for the quantitation of the compound were applied to its direct determination in a raw product.

The polarographic behavior of 3-nitrofluoranthene was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a dropping mercury electrode, differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping voltammetry (AdSV), both at a hanging mercury drop electrode. Optimum conditions have been found for its determination by the given methods in the concentration ranges of 1 × 10-6-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DCTP), 1 × 10-7-1 × 10-4 mol l-1 (DPP), 1 × 10-8-1 × 10-6 mol l-1 (DPV) and 1 × 10-9-1 × 10-7 mol l-1 (AdSV), respectively. Practical applicability of these techniques was demonstrated on the determination of 3-nitrofluoranthene in drinking and river water after its preliminary separation and preconcentration using liquid-liquid and solid phase extraction with the limits of determination 4 × 10-10 mol l-1 (drinking water) and 2 × 10-9 mol l-1 (river water).

Strychnine Sulphate

The determination of hydrogen peroxide at concentrations higher than those normally covered in polarography was studied with various electrodes. The diffusion current was found to increase linearly with the peroxide concentration up to 0.15% with the dropping mercury electrode and up to nearly 1% with a fixed platinum microelectrode. Under these conditions the limiting current was about 10 times greater than that usually observed. Although the solutions were supersaturated with oxygen, traces of strychnine sulphate were sufficient to suppress all maxima.

Electrochemical behavior of genotoxic nitro derivatives of quinoline, namely 5-nitroquinoline (5-NQ), 6-nitroquinoline (6-NQ) and 8-nitroquinoline (8-NQ), was investigated by DC tast polarography (DCTP) and differential pulse polarography (DPP), both at a classical dropping mercury electrode (DME), and by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and adsorptive stripping differential pulse voltammetry (AdSDPV), both at a miniaturized hanging mercury drop minielectrode (HMDmE), in buffered aqueous (for 5-NQ) or aqueous-methanolic (for 6-NQ and 8-NQ) solutions. Optimum conditions were found for the determination of 5-NQ, 6-NQ and 8-NQ by DCTP at DME (with limits of quantification, LQ ≈ 9 × 10–7, 3 × 10–7 and 2 × 10–6 mol l–1, respectively), by DPP at DME (LQ ≈ 1 × 10–8, 9 × 10–8 and 1 × 10–7 mol l–1, respectively), by DPV at HMDmE (LQ ≈ 2 × 10–8, 1 × 10–7 and 1 × 10–7 mol l–1, respectively), and by AdSDPV at HMDmE (LQ ≈ 1 × 10–8 mol l–1 for 8-NQ; an attempt at increasing the sensitivity using AdSDPV at HMDmE was not successful for 5-NQ and 6-NQ). Practical applicability of the developed methods was verified on the direct determination of the studied compounds in model samples of drinking and river water in submicromolar concentrations and on the determination in model samples of drinking and river water using preliminary separation and preconcentration by solid phase extraction (SPE) in nanomolar concentrations.

The electrochemical behaviour of Sb(III) and Sb(V) in water–HF mixtures (2.5 to 50% HF) and in anhydrous HF is described. A Teflon capillary dropping mercury electrode is proposed for polarographie investigations in these fluorinated media. It is shown, by classical or puise polarography, that Sb(III) can be reduced to Sb(0), as in acidic non-fluorinated media. The electrochemical reaction becomes reversible by addition of Cl−, Br− or I−. Sb(V) is not electroactive in the various HF-media, except when it is introduced as the SbCl5. In this case, the two polarographie waves of Sb(V) disappear with time because of SbF6− formation. Analytical applications to the determination of Sb(III) in water–HF and in anhydrous HF are discussed.

Abstract Several methods are available for determination of glucose in whole blood and serum. When comparing the results of these methods on a single blood sample, one may find significantly different values. Here, equations are provided for converting values for whole blood glucose to values for serum glucose, obtained by different methods.
