A green methodology was developed for the extraction and determination of lauryl ether sulfate in raw materials and commercial liquid soap and shower gel samples. The method avoids the use of organic solvents, offering a simple, cheap, and safe analysis. The methodology is based on the sorption of an ionic pair consisting of a cationic dye and an anionic surfactant onto polyurethane foam. The experimental variables were optimized by chemometry to obtain the conditions that maximized extraction of the ionic pair. Digital imaging and spectrophotometry were used for quantification in the linear concentration range from 10.0 to 100 mg L-1. The limits of detection and quantification were, respectively, 2.71 and 9.28 mg L-1 for digital imaging, and 1.74 and 5.83 mg L-1 for spectrophotometry. The methods showed good results when applied to commercial samples, with recoveries in the range 96.8-103%.

Azithromycin is an effective and well-known antimicrobial agent. In the present study, a simple, sensitive and specific LC/MS/MS method has been developed and validated for the quantification of Azithromycin in  human serum samples using Clarithromycin as internal standard. Azithromycin was extracted from biological matrix  by using solid phase extraction process. The chromatographic separation was performed on Luna C18 (3 ?, 2x150   mm) column with a mobile phase consisting of 35 mM ammonium acetate buffer (mobile phase-A) and acetonitrile  and methanol in ratio of 90:10 ( as mobile phase-B) at a flow rate of 0.25 mL/min. The method was validated over a  linear concentration range of 0.5?50.0 ng/mL and limit of quantification (LOQ) was 0.5 ng/mL with a coefficient of  correlation (r2) = 0.9998. The intra-day and inter-day precision expressed as relative standard deviation were 1.64% – 8.43% and 2.32% – 9.92%, respectively. The average recovery of azithromycin from serum was 98.11%. The method  was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study after oral administration of Azithromycin 200 mg/5 ml suspension in healthy Bangladeshi volunteers.

Abstract This paper describes the performance of a biosensor with an Ru(III), Ni(II), and Fe(II) hexacyanometallate-modified graphite electrode and immobilized oxalate oxidase for the determination of urinary oxalate. The addition of ruthenium enhances the electrochemical reversibility and chemical stability of the electrocrystallized layer and improves the sensitivity of the biosensor. Hydrogen peroxide, produced by the enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of oxalate, was measured at −50 mV vs an Hg|Hg2Cl2|3M KCl electrode in a solution of pH 3.6 succinic buffer, 0.1M KCl, and 5.4mM ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The linear concentration range for the determination of oxalate was 0.18–280 μM. The recoveries of added oxalate (10–35 μM) from aqueous solution ranged from 99.5 to 101.7%, whereas from urine samples without oxalate (or with a concentration of oxalate below the detection limit) the recoveries of added oxalate ranged from 91.4 to 106.6%. The oxalate in 24 h urine samples, taken during their daily routine from 35 infants and children, was measured and found to range from 0.6 to 121.7 mg/L. There were no interferences from uric acid, acetylsalicylic acid, and urea in the concentration range investigated, but paracetamol and ascorbic acid did interfere. A good correlation (R2 = 0.9242) was found between values obtained for oxalate in real urine samples by 2 laboratories, with the proposed biosensor and ion chromatography, respectively.

Abstract We developed an automated colorimetric method for the quantitative determination of p-aminophenol with a Cobas Mira analyzer. The procedure can be used for the biological monitoring of human exposure to aniline. An absorbed aniline dose is extensively oxidized to p-aminophenol, which is excreted in urine mainly as glucurono- and sulfo- conjugates. After enzymatic hydrolysis, we reacted the free compound with resorcinol in the presence of manganese ions to form an indophenol dye, which is measured at 550 nm. Excellent accuracy (102.8%, 103.9%, and 96.8% at 2.5, 50, and 90 mg/L, respectively) and precision (7.7%, 2.1%, and 0.8% CV for within-run and 11.1%, 4.7%, and 4.6% for total reproducibility at 2.5, 50, and 90 mg/L, respectively) were achieved over a linear concentration range of 2.0 to 100 mg/L. The detection limit was 0.9 mg/L and no significant interference (except for o-aminophenol) was found for several investigated drugs and related compounds. The proposed method was used for a stability study and to analyze several samples from an occupational health screen.

This paper examines a method for the simultaneous detection of 12 different dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) residues in vegetables. A qualitative and quantitative determination of PCB residues in vegetables was undertaken by a combination of high-speed freezing centrifugation, solid phase extraction, purification, concentration, and GC- MS and GC-ECD. From this combination of methods, 12 different PCBs were detected in vegetables over a linear concentration range of 0.001 to 2 µ g/L (ppb), with detection limits ranging from 0.4ppb to 0.5 ppb, a linear correlation coefficient of 0.99, recoveries ranging from 96.25%-117.5%, and a relative standard deviation ≤ 21%(RSD) .

The interaction of Eu(III) ion with 7-carboxymethoxy-4-methylcoumarin (CMMC) has been investigated using the potentiometric method in the ethanol-water mixture solvent (0.15 volume fraction). The formation of the different binary, ternary complexes is confirmed by the corresponding pH-potentiometric curves. SUPERQUAD computer program has been used for the refinement of all the calculated constants in our present study. Electroanalytical techniques have been used to confirm the formation of different binary and ternary complexes under investigation. The binding constant of the ternary complex Eu(III)-CMMC-DNA calculated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse (DP) was found to be 1.8 and 2.5x 105 M-1 in Tris-HCl, respectively. The changes in the current intensity have been used for the quantitative determination of DNA over a linear concentration range with LOD of 1.0-1.3 µg/ ml in 0.1 M Tris-HCl buffer.

Objective: A simple, sensitive and rapid LC-MS/MS technique was developed for the quantitation of trandolapril (TDL) and verapamil (VPL) in a biological matrix and validated. Methods: Sample preparation processed by SPE (Solid Phase extraction) on phenomenex cartridge using Ledipasvir as an internal standard. Two drugs were eluted on waters symmetry-RP18 (5µ, 150 mm×4.0 mm) column with the mobile composition of 10 mmol ammonium formate and ACN(acetonitrile) in the ratio of 70:30 %V/V. Detection and quantitation were processed by electrospray ionization in positive ionization mode. Results: The quantification approach was validated in 5-1500 ng/ml linear concentration range for TDL and 1-2000 ng/ml for VPL. The intraday and inter-day precision and accuracy were found to be 0.58% to 5.69% and 93% to 104% for two drugs. The average recoveries for TDL and VPL were found to be 92.9% and 93.5% respectively. Conclusion: The developed work was validated and can be applicable to the routine analysis of TDL and VPL simultaneously in a biological matrix.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most common mycotoxins in grains, causing gastrointestinal inflammation, neurotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and embryotoxicity, even at a low quantity. In this study, a facile electrochemical aptasensor was established for the rapid and sensitive determination of DON based on a multifunctional N-doped Cu-metallic organic framework (N–Cu–MOF) nanomaterial. The N–Cu–MOF, with a large specific surface area and good electrical conductivity, served not only as an optimal electrical signal probe but also as an effective supporting substrate for stabilizing aptamers through the interactions of amino (-NH2) and copper. Under the optimal conditions, the proposed sensor provided a wide linear concentration range of 0.02–20 ng mL−1 (R2 = 0.994), showing high sensitivity, with a lower detection limit of 0.008 ng mL−1, and good selectivity. The sensor’s effectiveness was also verified in real spiked wheat samples with satisfactory recoveries of 95.6–105.9%. The current work provides a flexible approach for the rapid and sensitive analysis of highly toxic DON in food samples and may also be easily extended to detect other hazardous substances with alternative target-recognition aptamers.
