A novel near-infrared absorbing colorimetric sensor with multifunctional groups, bis-dibenzo-18-crown-6 squaraine (BCSQ), has been identified and applied for accurate Hg2+analysis based on the decrement of its UV absorbance (A) in the aqueous medium. The proposed method was successfully applied to analyse synthetic Hg2+samples and natural Hg2+samples. The results show that the linear range of Hg2+detection in aqueous medium is 7.5~150×108mol·L1with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.9983 and a limit of detection (3σ, n=20) of 5.6 ×109mol·L1. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) for Hg2+detection was lower than 2.4% (n=5). The proposed method possesses the advantages of simplicity, rapidity, high selectivity and sensitivity.

Abstract An ultraviolet spectrophotometric method was validated for total flavonoid quantitation, as rutin equivalents, present in the Trichilia catigua Adr. Juss (Meliaceae) and Ptychopetalum olacoides Bentham (Olacaceae) commercial extract. Parameters as linearity, interval (range), specificity, estimated limit of detection (LOD, μg/mL), estimated limit of quantitation (LOQ, μg/mL), recovery (R, %), precision or relative standard deviation (RSD, %), and accuracy (E, %) were established. The analytical method was validated according to the experimental results: correlation coefficient (r = 0.9997); interval (RSD = 0.15–0.47%; E = 98.98–101.24%); specificity to total flavonoids quantitation, as rutin equivalents, at wavelength 361.0 nm; LOD = 0.09 μg/mL and LOQ = 0.27 μg/mL; R = 99.36–102.14%; adequate intraand interrun precision (0.30–0.49% and 0.31–0.81%), and intra- and interrun accuracy (100.60–102.38% and 98.58–100.38%).

A new sorbent (PAMAM4.0GASG) with gallic acid as functional group has been prepared based on G4.0 polyamidoamine dendrimer modified silica gel (PAMAM4.0SG) and characterized with FTIR. It was employed for selective separation, preconcentration and determination of lead in different samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Experimental conditions for effective separation and preconcentration of lead were optimized. The preconcentration factor reaches 200 for lead. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) under optimum conditions was 2.1% for 5.0 μg ml1 of Pb (II).The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 2.1% for 5.0 μg ml1 of Pb (II). The limit of detection (LOD) of 0.081μg ml1 was achieved with a sample loading flow rate of 4.2 ml min1 and a 10 ml sample volume in the proposed method. The proposed column enrichment method was applied for the preconcentration/separation and determination of Pb (II) in tap water and river water samples successfully.

A simple method was developed for determining microquantities of diltiazem, based on the reduction of copper(II) in buffered solution (pH 7.0) and the use of a micellar medium containing 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-biquinoline acid. The copper(I) produced reacts with 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-biquinoline acid and the complexes formed are spectrophotometrically measured at 558 nm. A typical calibration graph shows good linearity (r = 0.993) from 20 to 100 μg mL–1 of diltiazem. The limit of detection and relative standard deviation were calculated as 12 μg mL–1 (99% confidence level) and 3.5% (40 μg mL–1; n = 6), respectively, with a mean recovery value of 96.5% found in pharmaceutical dosages. A straightforward and effective way to recycle the reagents is addressed. The hazardous aspects of the Cu(I)–BCA reaction are presented as well.

Abstract As part of a project funded by the European Commission (EC) for the development and evaluation of multiresidue methods for analysis of drinking and related waters, 17 European laboratories evaluated a method using styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer solid-phase extraction followed by liquid chromatography with diode array detection. The main aim of the study was to evaluate whether the method meets the requirements of EC Drinking Water Directive 98/83 in terms of accuracy, precision, and detection limit for 21 pesticides according to the following requirements: limit of detection, ≤0.025 μg/L; accuracy expressed as recovery, between 75 and 125%; and precision expressed as repeatability relative standard deviation of the method, <12.5%, and as reproducibility relative standard deviation of the method, <25%. Analyses for unknown concentrations were performed with commercial bottled and tap waters. All laboratories were able to achieve detection limits of 0.01 μg/L for all pesticides except pirimicarb (0.02 μg/L). The criteria for repeatability were met for all compounds. Terbutryn in bottled water and carbendazim in tap water did not meet the criteria for reproducibility. In terms of accuracy, the method met the requirements for all pesticides in both matrixes, except for metamitron. However, several compounds (linuron, terbutryn, propazine, metobromuron, and isoproturon) showed recoveries slightly below 75%.

In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorecence detection was developed for the quantification of flurbiprofen in tablets. A C8 reverse phase column (5 μm, 120 Å, 4.6×150 mm) was used with a mobile phase of acetonitrile : water : glacial acetic acid (65 : 32.5 : 2.5, v/v/v) . The flow rate was 1 ml/min and the column effluent was monitored within 8 minutes. The excitation and emission wavelength were respectively 247 nm and 312 nm. The temperature of flow cell was set at 45˚C and detector sensitivity was 5. The retention time of flurbiprofen was found to be 3.78 minutes. The method was validated under the concentration range of 5 - 100 ng/ml with a tight linear correlation between peak area and sample concentration (R = 0.9999). The proposed method was found to be specific to flurbiprofen, accurate and precise. The percentage recovery was ≤ 100 ± 2%, the relative standard deviation of the repeatability was ≤ 2.08% and the relative standard deviation of the intermediate precision was ≤ 2.96%. The limit of detection and limite of quantification were respectively 0.010 and 0.025 ng/ml.

Abstract Amberlite XAD-2 impregnated with Cyanex272 was packed in a column and studied for separation and recovery of Th(IV). The effect of various parameters influencing sorption of Th(IV) viz. acid concentration, aqueous phase flow rates, nature and concentration of eluents and other ions were systematically studied. Under optimized conditions Th(IV) was quantitatively sorbed from 0.001 M HNO3 and recovered using 10 cm3 of 4.0 M HCl at 0.6 cm3 min−1 flow rate. Batch studies using impregnated resin were evaluated for using Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherms. The sorption capacity of the impregnated resin for Th(IV) was 8.48 mmol g−1. The limit of detection for Th(IV) was 0.67 μg dm−3 and a reusability for more than 65 cycles was observed. The method developed was applied for isolation of Th(IV) from monazite sand. It was reproducible with a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of 0.8%.

Based on the oxidation of neutral red by KIO4 in 3.2×10-4 mol/L sulfuric acid solution, a simple kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Se(IV).The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of neutral red at 530 nm with a fixed-time method. The decrease in the absorbance of neutral red is proportional to the concentration of Se(IV) in the range 0.0–8.0 µg/L with a fixed time of 4–6 min from the initiation of the reaction. The limit of detection is 0.36 µg/L Se(IV). The influence of the factors such as acidity, concentration of reactants, reaction time, temperature and co-existing ions on the reaction is discussed. The optimum conditions of reaction are established and some kinetic parameters are determined. The apparent activation energy of catalytic reaction is 81.60 kJ/mol. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 0.1 and 0.2 µg/mL Se(IV) was 2.1 and 1.9 %, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of Se (IV) in tea and human hair samples with the relative standard deviation of 0.33 %–1.5 % and the recovery of 97.5 %–103.5 %.

Based on the oxidation of acid chrome blue K (ACBK) by hydrogen peroxide in 0.002 mol/L sulfuric acid solution, while 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) acts as an activator, a simple kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Se(IV).The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of ACBK at 524 nm with a fixed-time method. The decrease in the absorbance of ACBK is proportional to the concentration of Se (IV) in the range 0.06–1.0 µg/L with a fixed time of 4–10 min from the initiation of the reaction. The limit of detection is 0.018 µg/L Se (IV). The influence of the factors such as acidity, concentration of reactants, reaction time, temperature and co-existing ions on the reaction is discussed. The optimum conditions of reaction are established and some kinetic parameters are determined. The apparent activation energy of catalytic reaction is 62.30 kJ/mol. The relative standard deviation for 11 replicate determination of 0.01 and 0.02 µg/25mL selenium (III) was calculated to be 2.3 % and 2.0 %, respectively. Combined with sulphydryl dextrane gel (SDG) separation and enriching, the method has been successfully applied to the determination of Se (IV) in foodstuff samples with the relative standard deviation of 1.1 %–3.7 % and the recovery of 99.0 %–104.0 %, the results are in good agreement with those provided by HG-AAS method.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate a liquid chromatographic (LC) method with immunoaffinity column cleanup for determination of ochratoxin A. The method was tested at 3 concentration levels of ochratoxin A in barley, which represent possible future European regulatory limits. The test portion was extracted with acetonitrile–water by blending at high speed. The extract was filtered, diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and applied to an ochratoxin A immunoaffinity column. The column was washed with water and the ochratoxin A eluted with methanol. The solvent was then evaporated and the residue redissolved in injection solvent. After injection of this solution onto reversed-phase LC column, ochratoxin A was measured by fluorescence detection. Eight samples of low level naturally contaminated barley and 2 samples of blank barley (ochratoxin A not found at the limit of detection of 0.2 μg/kg at the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 to 1) were sent, along with ampules of ochratoxin A, calibrant, and spiking solutions, to 15 laboratories in 13 different European countries. Test portions were spiked with ochratoxin A at levels of 4 ng/g, and recoveries ranged from 65 to 113%. Based on results for spiked samples (blind duplicates) and naturally contaminated samples (blind duplicates at 3 levels), the relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 4 to 24%, and the relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSDR) ranged from 12 to 33%. The method showed acceptable within- and between-laboratory precision, as evidenced by HORRAT values, at the low level of determination for ochratoxin A in barley.

Two visible spectrophotometric methods have been developed for the determination of Lamivudine(LMV) in pure and tablet forms. Method-A is based on oxidation of 3-methyl-2-benzathiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH) in the presence of iodoso benzene diacetate (IBDA) to form electrophilic intermediate which is an active coupling species that reacts with the coupler (LMV) by electrophillic attack on the most nucleophilic site on cyclic ring of the coupler. Method-B depends on diazonium salt formation and consequent reaction with resorcinol producing colored product. The absorbances are measured at 590 nm and 540 nm for Method-A and Method-B respectively. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 10.0-60.0 μg/mL for both the methods. The correlation coefficient which is very close to unity indicates that there is good correlation between concentration and absorbance. LOD, LOQ, confidence levels and relative standard deviation are calculated for the developed methods. The developed methods were successfully applied to tablet forms.
