AbstractPreliminary results of development of a direct and fast method of determination of antimony in samples of tap water using GFAAS are presented. The found levels of antimony were lower than permitted for human consumption. A mixture of Pd and Mg(NO3)2 (concentrations in the injected solution: 8.6 μg mL−1 and 5.8 μg mL−1 respectively) was used as the chemical modifier. The pyrolysis and atomization temperatures were 1000 and 1700°C, respectively and the mean analytical recovery 98.2%.

ABSTRACT A simple method for the determination of cortisol-binding capacity is described. For saturation of the cortisol-binding proteins, plasma samples are incubated with an excess of cortisol. In the next step NADPH and liver microsomes of female rats are added. The microsomal Δ4-3-ketosteroid hydrogenase only reduces non protein-bound cortisol to tetrahydrocortisol-5α. Then the steroids are extracted by dichloromethane, and after some purification steps analyzed by fluorometry. Tetrahydrocortisol gives practically no fluorescence. The cortisol determined by this method corresponds to protein-bound cortisol and indicates the extent of cortisolbinding capacity. Precision and accuracy of the method were found to be good. The values of cortisol-binding capacity obtained by our method are compared with the results of other authors. The mean value of adult men was 25.5 ± 3.4 μg/100 ml, that of pregnant women, mens IX-X, 42.3 ± 4.2 μg/100 ml.

Abstract We describe a sensitive, simple method for measuring homovanillic acid in human plasma. The method is based on liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Sensitivity was 125 pg of homovanillic acid per injection. Samples were deproteinized and extracted with organic solvent before chromatography. Quantification was by the standard-additions technique. Analytical recovery of added HVA was 44.8 (SD 6.2%). We confirmed specificity by using serial amperometric detectors.

Abstract A simple method for determination of organophosphorus pesticide residues at the parts per million level In milk was developed. Pesticide residues were extracted with acetonitrlle added to aqueous milk, fat was removed by zinc acetate addition and dichloromethane partition, and analytes were concentrated and analyzed by wide-bore capillary column gas chromatography. Recoveries of 6 pesticides spiked in milk samples at levels of 0.1 and 1.0 μg/mL were 82.1- 93.8% and 79.7-96.6%, respectively. Triplicate samples spiked with 6 pesticides at 1 itg/mL were analyzed independently by 3 laboratories. Average recoveries were greater than 80%, and the mean coefficients of variation for the complete study were 2.9% for diazlnon, 5.4% for dimethoate, 4.6% for malathlon, 4.6% for parathlon, 4.9% for EPN, and 6.1% for phosalone.

ABSTRACT A simple method for the determination of oestrone and oestradiol in human plasma is described and evaluated in terms of theoretical and practical errors. The oestrogens are separated on columns of Sephadex LH 20 and, after equilibration with antiserum, the unbound steroid is removed with dextran-coated charcoal. The mean total random theoretical error is calculated to be 22 %; the coefficients of variation of replicate analyses on pooled female plasma were from 13–18 % for both steroids; in male plasma the values were 17 % for oestradiol and 27 % for oestrone. The concentrations of oestradiol, expressed in pg/ml ± sd) in samples collected from healthy women during the menstrual cycle were 69 ± 56 (days 1–10); 126 ± 66 (days 11–20) and 99 ± 54 (days 21–30). Corresponding values for oestrone were 119 ± 46, 156 ± 41 and 156 ± 27.

Jatropha Seed

A simple and rapid high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) assay was developed to identify and measure theβ-sitosterol with chemical course and material applications in jatropha seed oil. The stigmasterol was isolated with a good selectivity by HPLC employing reversed phase C18 columns. The components were separated by mobile phase of methanol-water (99/1, v/v) and detected at 205nm. The quantitation of the stigmasterol was reproducible and the method relative standard deviation is 1.1%. The mean analytical recovery was 96.2%.
