Flow Injection Analysis of Histidine with Enhanced Electrogenerated Chemiluminescence of Luminol

Histidine is one of the necessary basic amino acids in biological bases, which often controls the catalytic activity of enzymes and acts in holding the higher structure of proteins. Furthermore, it is also an important ingredient in pharmaceutical preparations used for treatment of hetpatosis and nephropathy. Therefore, the determination of histidine in biological fluids and pharmaceutical preparations is of great importance. Various methods have been proposed for the detection of histidine …     

Flow-injection electrogenerated chemiluminescence determination of isoniazid using luminol.

Based on a new electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) analytical idea, this paper explains a sensitive and selective flow-injection ECL method using luminol for the determination of isoniazid, based on the sensitizing effect of isoniazid for the weak ECL emission of electrochemically oxidized luminol. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the relative ECL intensity was linear with isoniazid concentration in the range of 4.0 x 10(-8) mol/L to 8.0 x 10(-6) mol/L and with a detecting limit of 2.8 x 10(-8) mol/L.     

Determination of levofloxacin and norfloxacin by capillary electrophoresis with electrochemiluminescence detection and applications in human urine

A novel method for the determination of norfloxacin (NOR) and levofloxacin (LVX) was developed by CE separation and electrochemiluminesence detection (ECL). The methods for capillary conditioning and the effect of solvent type were studied. Parameters affecting the CE and ECL were also investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the two analytes were well separated within 9 min. The LODs (S/N = 3) in standard solution are 4.8 x 10(-7) mol/L for NOR and 6.4 x 10(-7) mol/L for LVX, respectively. The precisions of intraday and interday are less than 4.2 and 8.1%, respectively. The LOQs (S/N = 10) in real human urine samples are 1.2 x 10(-6) mol/L for NOR and 1.4 x 10(-6) mol/L for LVX, respectively. The applicability of the proposed method was illustrated in the determination of NOR and LVX in human urine samples and the monitoring of pharmacokinetics for NOR. The recoveries of NOR and LVX at different levels in human urine samples were between 84.3 and 92.3%.

Sensitive determination of norepinephrine, synephrine, and isoproterenol by capillary electrophoresis with indirect electrochemiluminescence detection

A new and sensitive method for the determination of norepinephrine (NE), synephrine, and isoproterenol was developed by CE separation and indirect electrochemiluminescence detection (ECL) based on their quenching effects on the tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)-ruthenium(II)/tripropylamine (TPA) system. The conditions for CE separation and ECL detection were investigated in detail. Under the optimum conditions, the three analytes were well separated within 9 min. The LODs (S/N = 3) in standard solution are 2.6 x 10(-8) mol/L for NE, 6.6 x 10(-9) mol/L for synephrine and 8.4 x 10(-8) mol/L for isoproterenol, respectively. The precisions of intraday and interday are less than 4.4 and 6.1%, respectively. The LOQs (S/N = 10) in real human urine samples are 2.6 x 10(-7) mol/L for NE, 8.8 x 10(-8 ) mol/L for synephrine, and 8.8 x 10(-7) mol/L for isoproterenol, respectively. The applicability of the proposed method was illustrated in the determination of 20 human urine samples from diabetic patients and healthy persons. The results obtained indicated that the level of NE in patients (mean value 0.41 micromol/L) was higher than that in healthy persons (mean value 0.24 micromol/L).     

Study on the electrochemiluminescence behavior of ABEI and its application in DNA hybridization analysis

The electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) behavior of N-(4-aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) was studied and it was found that ABEI could produce emission light when oxidized at a +1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) potential in alkaline solution. The addition of H2O2 markedly improved the ECL sensitivity. The pH value of the solution as well as the H2O2 concentration and working potential all have influences on the ECL response. Under optimal conditions, ABEI can be detected in the range 1.3 x 10(-6)-6.5 x 10(-12) mol L(-1). A detection limit of 2.2 x 10(-12) mol L(-1) for ABEI was obtained at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. ABEI was then used as a marker to label a known sequence oligonucleotide, which was used as a DNA probe for identifying a target ssDNA immobilized on a PPy modified electrode based on a specific hybridization reaction. The hybridization events were evaluated by the ECL measurements. The results showed that only a complementary sequence could form a double-stranded DNA with the DNA probe and give a strong ECL response. A three-base mismatch sequence and non-complementary sequence have no response. The intensity of the ECL was linearly related to the concentration of the complementary sequence in the range 9.6 x 10(-11)-9.6 x 10(-8) mol L(-1), the detection limit was 3.0 x 10(-11) mol L(-1).     

New technique for capillary electrophoresis directly coupled with end-column electrochemiluminescence detection

A new end-column electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection technique coupling to capillary electrophoresis (CE) is characterized. A 300 microm diameter Pt working electrode was used to directly couple with a 75 microm inner diameter separation capillary without an electric field decoupler. The hydrodynamic cyclic voltammogram (CV) of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ showed that electrophoretic current did not affect the ECL reaction. The presence of high-voltage (HV) field only resulted in the shift of the ECL detection potential. The distance of capillary to electrode was an important parameter for optimizing detection performance as it determined the characteristics of mass transport toward the electrode and the actual concentration of Ru(bpy) 3 2+ in the detection region. The optimum distance of capillary to electrode was decided by the inner diameter of the capillary, too. For a 75 microm capillary, the working electrode should be placed away from the capillary outlet at a distance within the range of 220-260 microm. The effects of pH value of ECL solution and molecular structure of analytes on peak height and theoretical plate numbers were discussed. Using the 75 microm capillary, under the optimum conditions, the method provided a linear range for tripropylamine (TPA) between 1 x 10(-10) and 1 x 10(-5) mol/L with correlation coefficient of 0.998. The detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio S/N = 3) was 5.0 x 10(-11) mol/L. The relative standard deviation in peak height for eight consecutive injections was 5.6%. By this new technique lidocaine spiked in a urine sample was determined. The method exhibited the linear range for lidocaine from 5.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol/L with correlation efficient of 0.998. The limit of detection (S/N = 3) was 2.0 x 10(-8) mol/L.     

Electrochemiluminescence of terbium (III)-two fluoroquinolones-sodium sulfite system in aqueous solution

The electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of Tb3+-enoxacin-Na2SO3 system (ENX system) and Tb3+-ofloxacin-Na2SO3 system (OFLX system) in aqueous solution is reported. ECL is generated by the oxidation of Na2SO3, which is enhanced by Tb3+-fluoroquinolone (FQ) complex. The ECL intensity peak versus potential corresponds to oxidation of Na2SO3, and the ECL emission spectra (the peaks are at 490, 545, 585 and 620 nm) match the characteristic emission spectrum of Tb3+, indicating that the emission is from the excited state of Tb3+. The mechanism of ECL is proposed and the difference of ECL intensity between ENX system and OFLX system is explained. Conditions for ECL emission were optimized. The linear range of ECL intensity versus concentrations of pharmaceuticals is 2.0 x 10(-10) -8.0 x 10(-7)mol l(-1) for ENX and 6.0 x 10(-10) -6.0 x 10(-7)mol l(-1) for OFLX, respectively. A theoretical limit of detection is 5.4 x 10(-11)mol l(-1) for ENX and 1.6 x 10(-10)mol l(-1) for OFLX, respectively. The ECL was satisfactorily applied to the determination of the two FQs in dosage form and urine sample.

Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II)-zirconia-Nafion composite films applied as solid-state electrochemiluminescence detector for capillary electrophoresis

The major goal of this work was to develop a new solid-state electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detector suitable for capillary electrophoresis (CE). The detector was fabricated by coating a sol-gel derived zirconia (ZrO(2))-Nafion composite film on a graphite electrode, then the zirconia-Nafion modified electrode was immersed in tris(2,2'-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)(3) (2+)) solution to immobilize this active chemiluminescence reagent. The voltammetric and ECL behaviors of the detector were investigated and optimized in tripropylamine solution. The ratio of 53% for zirconia in the zirconia-Nafion composite provided the highest luminescence intensity of immobilized Ru(bpy)(3) (2+). The ECL can maintain its stability very well in the phosphate solution in the period of 5-90 h when the solid-state ECL detector was immersed in the solution all the time. The optimum distance of capillary outlet to the solid-state ECL detector has been found to be ca. 50-80 microm for a 75 microm capillary. The effects of ionic strength and pH of ECL solution on peak height were investigated. The CE with solid-state ECL detector system was successfully used to detect tripropylamine, lidocaine, and proline. The detection limits (S/N = 3) were 5 x 10(-9) mol.L(-1) for tripropylamine, 1 x 10(-8) mol.L(-1) for lidocaine and 5 x 10(-6) mol.L(-1) for proline, and the linear ranges were from 1.0 x 10(-8) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol.L(-1) for tripropylamine, 5.0 x 10(-7) mol.L(-1) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol.L(-1) for lidocaine and 1.0 x 10(-5) to 1.0 x 10(-3) mol.L(-1) for proline, respectively.     

Homogenous electrogenerated chemiluminescence immunoassay for human immunoglobulin G using N-(aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol as luminescence label at gold nanoparticles modified paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode

A homogeneous electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) immunoassay for human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) has been developed using a N-(aminobutyl)-N-ethylisoluminol (ABEI) as luminescence label at gold nanoparticles modified paraffin-impregnated graphite electrode (PIGE). ECL emission was electrochemically generated from the ABEI-labeled anti-hIgG antibody and markedly increased in the presence of hIgG antigen due to forming a more rigid structure of the ABEI moiety. The concentration of hIgG antigen was determined by the increase of ECL intensity at a gold nanoparticles modified PIGE. It was found that the ECL intensity of ABEI in presence of hydrogen peroxide was dramatically enhanced at gold nanoparticles modified PIGE in neutral aqueous solution and the detection limit of ABEI was 2 x 10(-14)mol/L (S/N=3). The integral ECL intensity was linearly related to the concentration of hIgG antigen from 3.0 x 10(-11) to 1.0 x 10(-9)g/mL with a detection limit of 1 x 10(-11)g/mL (S/N=3). The relative standard deviation was 3.1% at 1.0 x 10(-10)g/mL (n=11). This work demonstrates that the enhancement of the sensitivity of ECL and ECL immunoassay at a nanoparticles modified electrode is a promising strategy.

An on-line galvanic cell-generated electrochemiluminescence and flow injection determination of calcium in milk and vegetables.

An on-line Ag/Al galvanic cell was studied and employed to generate electrochemiluminescence (ECL) of calcein blue. The potential of the galvanic cell could be adjusted by varying the components of flow reagent or by using different metals to substitute for Ag or Al. The reported cell exhibited perfect capability of supplying a stable potential for ECL generation. Because the weak ECL of calcein blue could be greatly sensitized in the presence of calcium in alkaline solution, calcium contents in milk and vegetable samples were assayed; the results were validated with ICP-AES method. The method gave linear results in 1.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) to 8.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) calcium concentration range and the 3(sigma)limit of detection was to be 2.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1). Experiment results imply that this model of ECL detection could be applied for instrument miniaturization with easy fabrication.

Tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) electrogenerated chemiluminescence of alkaloid type drugs with solid phase extraction sample preparation

An electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) method for the determination of pethidine, atropine, homatropine and cocaine is described. The optimum conditions were found to be similar for all of these compounds although the ECL emission intensity for cocaine was an order of magnitude lower than for pethidine due to their different chemical structures. Linear calibrations were obtained for all the compounds at pH 10 in borate buffer (0.05 mol l-1) at 1.3 V. Limits of detection of 6.8 x 10(-8), 2.2 x 10(-7), 3.2 x 10(-7) and 6.5 x 10(-7) mol l-1, respectively, were achieved for pethidine, atropine, homatropine and cocaine in standard solutions. Solid-phase extraction was used to separate the drugs from their matrix and the method was applied to the determination of spiked urine samples. The limits of quantitation for pethidine, atropine, homatropine and cocaine in urine were 1.0 x 10(-6), 2.0 x 10(-6), 2.0 x 10(-6) and 4.0 x 10(-6) mol l-1, respectively, with recoveries of between 90 and 110%.     

The enhanced electrogenerated chemiluminescence of Ru(bpy)3(2+) by glutathione on a glassy carbon electrode modified with some porphine compounds

It has been found that the electrochemical activity of glutathione was increased greatly at the glassy carbon electrodes modified with 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphine ruthenium(II) carbenyl (RuTPP), meso-tetraphenylporphine copper(II) complex (CuTTP) and hemin. It has been also found that glutathione would enhance the electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of Ru(bpy)3(2+) at a hemin glassy carbon electrode; the enhanced ECL intensity was linear with the concentration of glutathione in the range of 1 x 10(-7)-1 x 10(-4) mol l-1, based on which method for determination of glutathione has been developed. The detection limit of glutathione was 2 x 10(-8) mol l-1, and the relative standard deviation for 1 x 10(-6) mol l-1 glutathione was 2.7%. The mechanism for this ECL system has been proposed.     

Determination of nicotinamide (NA) using its polarographic catalytic wave in the presence of KIO3

Nicotinamide (NA) yields a polarographic catalytic wave with a peak potential -1.38 V (vs. SCE) in 0.1 mol/L HAc-NaAc (pH 4.7)/4 x 10(-3) mol/L KIO3 buffer solution. The sensitivity of the catalytic wave increased in one order of magnitude as compared to that of the responding reduction wave without KIO3. Based on this observation, a new method for the determination of NA was recommended. The second order derivative peak current was proportional to the NA concentration in the range of 5 x 10(-8)- 6 x 10(-7) mol/L. 0.11-fold vitamin B1, 0.13-fold B2, 0.14-fold B6 and 8-fold nicotinic acid amounts do not interfere the determination of 1 x 10(-6) mol/L NA. The proposed method was used to determine the NA content in multivitamin tablets, with good agreement to the declared amount.
