The aim of this work was to investigate, for the first time, the potential of the enzyme glutathione S-transferase I (isoenzyme GST-I) for uses in analytical chemistry. A novel fiber-optic biosensor for the detection and determination of the triazine herbicide atrazine was developed based on maize GST-I expressed in E. coli. The sensing bioactive material was a three-layer mini-sandwich. The enzyme was immobilized on the outer layer that consisted of a hydrophilic polyvinylidenefluoride membrane. This membrane was supported on an inner glass disk by means of an intermediate binder sol–gel layer that incorporated bromcresol green (BCG). The biosensor operated in a static mode at 25 °C and the rate of the enzymatic reaction, using atrazine as a substrate, served as an analytical signal. A calibration curve was obtained for atrazine, with analytically useful concentration range 2.52–125 μM. The sensor detection limit was 0.84 μM. The reproducibility of atrazine sensing was in the order of ±3–5%. The method was successfully applied to the determination of this herbicide in real water samples, without sample preparation steps. Atrazine recovery ranged between 85 and 110%. No interference from other pesticides, such as alachlor and carbaryl was observed in the absence of atrazine. The immobilized enzyme retained about 75% of its original activity after 1 month use. Simply unscrewing the terminal holding ring of the probe and placing a new bioactive sandwich could easily replace a deteriorated mini-sandwich. 相似文献

A new amperometric biosensor for ethanol monitoring has been developed and optimised. The biosensor uses poly(neutral red) (PNR), as redox mediator, which is electropolymerised on carbon film electrodes and alcohol oxidase (AlcOx) from Hansenula polymorpha as recognition element, immobilised by cross-linking with glutaraldehyde (GA) in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) as carrier protein. Optimisation of variables affecting the system was performed and, for chronoamperometric measurements, a potential of −0.300 V versus saturated calomel electrode was chosen in 0.1 M sodium phosphate buffer saline at pH 7.5. The optimised biosensor showed a good sensitivity of 171.8 ± 14.8 nA mM −1 and the corresponding detection limit (signal-to-noise-ratio = 3) of 29.7 ± 1.5 μM. Stability studies showed a good preservation of the bioanalytical properties of the sensor, 57.6% of its initial sensitivity remaining after 3 weeks (the sensor was used two to three times per week). No significant interferences were found from compounds usually present in wine. The biosensor was used for the determination of ethanol in Portuguese red and white wines. 相似文献

An amperometric biosensor for oganophosphorus (OP) pesticides based on a carbon nanotube (CNT)-modified transducer and an organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) biocatalyst is described. A bilayer approach with the OPH layer atop of the CNT film was used for preparing the CNT/OPH biosensor. The CNT layer leads to a greatly improved anodic detection of the enzymatically generated p-nitrophenol product, including higher sensitivity and stability. The sensor performance was optimized with respect to the surface modification and operating conditions. Under the optimal conditions the biosensor was used to measure as low as 0.15 μM paraoxon and 0.8 μM methyl parathion with sensitivities of 25 and 6 nA/μM, respectively. 相似文献

A highly selective, fast and stable biosensor for determination of glucose in soluble coffee has been developed. The biosensor electrode consist of a thin film of ferric hexacyanoferrate (Prussian Blue or PB) electrodeposited on the glassy carbon electrode (GCE) (to provide a catalytic surface for the detection of hydrogen peroxide) glucose oxidase immobilized on top of the electrode and a Nafion ® polymer layer. The stability of the PB film and the biosensor was evaluated by injecting standard-solution (50 μM H 2O 2 and 0.5 mM glucose) during 4 h in a flow-injection system with the electrodes polarized at −50 mV versus Ag/AgCl. The system is able to handle about 60 samples per hour and is very stable and suitable for industrial control. Determination of glucose in the range 2.5 and 15% (w/v) in phosphate buffer with precision (r.s.d. < 1.5%) has been achieved and is in agreement with the conventional procedures. Linear calibration in the range of 0.15 and 2.50 mM with detection limits of ca. 0.03 mM has been obtained. The morphology of the enzyme glucose oxidase on the modified electrode has been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements. 相似文献

A continuous flow system for the determination of lead in home made spirituous beverages was developed. The determination was based on the formation of a neutral chelate of the element with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate, its adsorption onto a minicolumn packed with sodium faujasite type Y synthetic zeolite, followed by elution with methyl isobutyl ketone and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. Ethanol and copper interfere strongly in the determination and therefore, must be separated prior to the analysis. Copper is removed by precipitation with rubeanic acid, while ethanol is eliminated by rotaevaporation. Sample solutions containing Pb 2+ in the concentration range from 5 to 120 μg l −1 at pH 2.5 could be analyzed, by using a preconcentration time of 3 min. Preconcentration factors from 80 to 140 were achieved for a sample volume of 6 ml and the detection limit varied from 1.4 to 3.5 μg l −1, depending on the matrix composition. The relative standard deviations for 60 μg l −1 Pb was 3.2% ( n = 10) and the recovery of spikes (20, 40, 60 and 80 μg l −1) added to the samples was estimated within 92–105% range, suggesting that lead can be quantitatively determined in such samples. Determining lead in several samples by an alternative technique further checked the accuracy. Finally, the concentrations of Pb 2+ determined in 28 samples of Venezuelan spirituous beverages were in 12.6–370.0 μg l −1 range, depending on the fermenting material based on different mixtures of agave, raw sugar cane and white sugar. 相似文献

A new modified electrode is fabricated by dispersing gold nanoparticles onto the matrix of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–poly(styrene sulfonic acid), PEDOT–PSS. The electrocatalytic activity of the PEDOT–PSS-Au nano electrode towards the oxidation of β-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) is investigated. A substantial decrease in the overpotential (>0.7 V) has been observed for the oxidation of NADH at the PEDOT–PSS-Au nano electrode in comparison to the potential at PEDOT–PSS electrode. The Au nanoparticles dispersed in the PEDOT–PSS matrix prevents the fouling of electrode surface by the oxidation products of NADH and augments the oxidation of NADH at a less positive potential (+0.04 V vs. SCE). The electrode shows high sensitivity to the electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH. Further, the presence of ascorbic acid and uric acid does not interfere during the detection of NADH. Important practical advantages such as stability of the electrode (retains 95% of its original activity after 20 days), reproducibility of the measurements (R.S.D.: 2.8%; n = 5), selectivity and wide linear dynamic range (1–80 μM; R2 = 0.996) are achieved at PEDOT–PSS-Au nano electrode. The ability of PEDOT–PSS-Au nano electrode to promote the electron transfer between NADH and the electrode makes us to fabricate a biocompatible dehydrogenase-based biosensor for the measurement of ethanol. The biosensor showed high sensitivity to ethanol with rapid detection, good reproducibility and excellent stability. 相似文献

Automated sequential injection (SIA) method for chemiluminescence (CL) determination of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin (I) was devised. The CL radiation was emitted in the reaction of I (dissolved in aqueous 50% v/v ethanol) with intermediate reagent tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(III) (Ru(bipy) 33+) in the presence of acetate. The Ru(bipy) 33+ was generated on-line in the SIA system by the oxidation of 0.5 mM tris(2,2′-bipyridyl)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bipy) 32+) with Ce(IV) ammonium sulphate in diluted sulphuric acid. The optimum sequence, concentrations, and aspirated volumes of reactant zones were: 15 mM Ce(IV) in 50 mM sulphuric acid 41 μL, 0.5 mM Ru(bipy) 32+ 30 μL, 0.4 M Na acetate 16 μL and I sample 15 μL; the flow rates were 60 μL s −1 for the aspiration into the holding coil and 100 μL s −1 for detection. Calibration curve relating the intensity of CL (peak height of the transient CL signal) to concentration of I was curvilinear (second order polynomial) for 0.1–50 μM I ( r = 0.9997; n = 9) with rectilinear section in the range 0.1–10 μM I ( r = 0.9995; n = 5). The limit of detection (3 σ) was 0.05 μM I. Repeatability of peak heights (R.S.D., n = 10) ranged between 2.4% (0.5 μM I) and 2.0% (7 μM I). Sample throughput was 180 h −1. The method was applied to determination of 1 to 5% of I in semisolid dosage forms (gels and ointments). The results compared well with those of UV spectrophotometric method. 相似文献

A sequential injection micro-sample introduction system was coupled to a microfluidic-chip based capillary electrophoresis system through a split–flow sampling interface integrated on the micro-chip. The microfluidic system measured 20×70×3 mm in dimension, and was produced using a non-lithographic approach with components readily available in the analytical laboratory. In the H-configuration channel design the horizontal separation channel was a 75 μm I.D.×60 mm quartz capillary, with two vertical side arms produced from plastic tubing. The conduits were embedded in silicon elastomer with a planar glass base. Sequential introduction of a series of samples with about 2.5% carryover was achieved at 48 h −1 throughput with samples containing a mixture of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled amino acids using SI sample volumes of 3.3 μl and carrier flow-rate of 2.0 ml min −1. Baseline separation was achieved for FITC-labeled arginine, phenylalanine, glycine and FITC (laser induced fluorescence detection) in sodium tetraborate buffer (pH 9.2) within 8–80 s, at separation lengths of 25–35 mm and electrical field strengths of 250–1500 V cm −1, with plate heights in the 0.7–3 μm range. 相似文献

Chemically surface-modified (tosyl-functionalized) carbon nanoparticles (Emperor 2000 from Cabot Corp.) are employed for the extraction and electrochemical determination of phenolic impurities such as benzophenone-3 (2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone) or triclosan (5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol). The hydrophilic carbon nanoparticles are readily suspended and separated by centrifugation prior to deposition onto suitable electrode surfaces and voltammetric analysis. Voltammetric peaks provide concentration information over a 10–100 μM range and an estimated limit of detection of ca. 10 μM (or 2.3 ppm) for benzophenone-3 and ca. 20 μM (or 5.8 ppm) for triclosan. Alternatively, analyte-free carbon nanoparticles immobilized at a graphite or glassy carbon electrode surface and directly immersed in analyte solution bind benzophenone-3 and triclosan (both with an estimated Langmuirian binding constants of K ≈ 6000 mol−1 dm3 at pH 9.5) and they also give characteristic voltammetric responses (anodic for triclosan and cathodic for benzophenone-3) with a linear range of ca. 1–120 μM. The estimated limit of detection is improved to ca.5 μM (or 1.2 ppm) for benzophenone-3 and ca. 10 μM (or 2.3 ppm) for triclosan. Surface functionalization is discussed as the key to further improvements in extraction and detection efficiency. 相似文献

An analytical method for the determination of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in soil was developed. Soil samples were placed in small glass columns and PBDEs extracted from soil, with a low volume of ethyl acetate (5 mL, 2× 15 min), assisted by sonication. PBDEs were determined by gas chromatography with electron impact mass spectrometric detection in the selected ion monitoring mode (GC–MS–SIM) and residues were confirmed by their retention times, selected ions and qualifier–target abundance ratios. Recovery studies were performed at 10, 1, 0.1 and 0.05 μg/kg fortification levels, and the recoveries obtained ranged from 81 to 104% with a relative standard deviation between 1 and 9%. The detection limit of the method varied from 2 to 30 pg/g and the quantification limit ranged from 7 to 100 pg/g for the different PBDEs studied. The developed method was linear over the range assayed, 0.01–10 μg/kg with determination coefficients equal or higher than 0.997. The proposed method was used to determine PBDEs levels in soil samples from different areas of Spain and PBDEs were detected in some samples with values ranging from 1.3 to 5.6 μg/kg. 相似文献

Tyrosinase [EC 1.14.18.1], immobilized on a rotating disk, catalyzed the oxidation of catechols to o-benzoquinone, whose back electrochemical reduction was detected on glassy carbon electrode surface at −150 mV versus Ag/AgCl/NaCl 3 M. Thus, when penicillamine (PA) was added to the solution, this thiol-containing compound participate in Michael type addition reactions with o-benzoquinone to form the corresponding thioquinone derivatives, decreasing the reduction current obtained proportionally to the increase of its concentration. This method could be used for sensitive determination of PA in drug and human synthetic serum samples. A linear range of 0.02–80 μM ( r = 0.999) was obtained for amperometric determination of PA in buffered pH 7.0 solutions (0.1 M phosphate buffer). The biosensor has a reasonable reproducibility (R.S.D. < 4.0%) and a very stable amperometric response toward this compound (more than 1 month). 相似文献

In the present work, a rapid method for the extraction and determination of chlorobenzenes (CBs) such as monochlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene in water samples using the headspace solvent microextraction (HSME) and gas chromatography/electron capture detector (ECD) has been described. A microdrop of the dodecane containing monobromobenzene (internal standard) was used as extracting solvent in this investigation. The analytes were extracted by suspending a 2.5 μl extraction drop directly from the tip of a microsyringe fixed above an extraction vial with a septum in a way that the needle passed through the septum and the needle tip appeared above the surface of the solution. After the extraction was finished, the drop was retracted back into the needle and injected directly into a GC column. Optimization of experimental conditions such as nature of the extracting solvent, microdrop and sample temperatures, stirring rate, microdrop and sample volumes, the ionic strength and extraction time were investigated. The optimized conditions were as follows: dodecane as the extracting solvent, the extraction temperature, 45 °C; the sodium chloride concentration, 2 M; the extraction time, 5.0 min; the stirring rate, 500 rpm; the drop volume, 2.5 μl; the sample volume, 7 ml; the microsyringe needle temperature, 0.0 °C. The limit of detection (LOD) ranged from 0.1 μg/l (for 1,3-dichlorobenzene) to 3.0 μg/l (for 1,4-dichlorobenzene) and linear range of 0.5–3.0 μg/l for 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene and from 5.0 to 20.0 μg/l for monochlorobenzene and from 5.0 to 30 μg/l for 1,4-dichlorobenzene. The relative standard deviations (R.S.D.) for most of CBs at the 5 μg/l level were below 10%. The optimized procedure was successfully applied to the extraction and determination of CBs in different water samples. 相似文献

Capillary electrophoresis (CE) was employed for the determination of cytochrome c using a wall-jet amperometric detector consisting a copper(I) oxide-modified sol–gel carbon composite electrode (CCE), which exhibits a sensitive electrocatalytic response for the oxidation of cytochrome c. The optimum conditions of separation and detection are 0.08 M NaOH for the separation solution, 12 kV for separation voltage and +0.60 V versus saturated calomel electrode (SCE) for the detection potential. Calibration was linear over the concentration range 1–600 μM with the limit of detection of 3.4 μM, based on a signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 3. 相似文献

An indirect fluorescence (FL) detection method via the reactivity of UV-photolyzed 2-phenylbenzimidazole-5-sulfonate (PBSA) has been developed for non-fluorescent aromatic compounds. At high pH with UV photolysis, PBSA in the excited state is known to be quenched by reaction with oxygen species and analyte compounds that are reactive toward these oxygen species produced during photolysis can lessen the loss of PBSA FL. After off-line photolysis of PBSA in the presence of various nitro-aromatic test compounds, the increase in PBSA FL is clearly evident. A flow injection (FI) instrument using a PBSA mobile phase propelled through a Teflon coil wrapped around a Hg lamp is optimized and modified for use for liquid chromatography (LC). For the on-line FI determination of the non-fluorescent nitro-aromatic compounds such as 4-nitroaniline, 2-nitrophenol, 3-nitrophenol, 4-nitrophenol, and -nitronaphthalene, a positive linear response for PBSA FL from about 0.5 to 15 μM and detection limits generally between 0.2 and 1 μM (4–20 pmol) are found. Linear responses and detection limits of selected pharmaceutical compounds such as the antibacterial nitrofurantoin, antihistamines chlorpheniramine and brompheniramine, and other compounds were similar. In general, detection limits using UV detection at about 214 nm were not as good in the 1–2 μM range but linearity extended up to 100 μM. The amino acid phenylalanine and small peptides containing this aromatic amino acid were also determined using this method. Application of this detection method for the liquid chromatography determination of 4-nitroaniline, 2-nitrophenol, nitrofurantoin, and salicylate is shown. 相似文献

Zinc pyrithione (ZPT) is an antibacterial and antifungal reagent that is often utilized for the antidandruff activity in hair-care shampoos with a composition level up to 1% in the formulation. It has some adverse effects to human and animal if consumed orally. A disposable type of cobalt phthalocyanide modified screen-printed carbon electrode (CoPc/SPE) in couple with flow injection analysis (FIA) was developed for easy and selective analysis of ZPT in commercial hair-care products. Under the optimized FIA conditions, the CoPc/SPE yielded a linear calibration plot in the window of 6–576 μM with sensitivity and detection limit of 1.65 nA μM −1 and 0.9 μM (i.e. 1.42 pg in 5 μl sample loop), respectively, in 0.1 M KOH solution at an applied potential of 0.3 V versus Ag/AgCl. Since the approach is simple, easy, selective, and inexpensive, it offers a potential application of daily ZPT analysis in hair-care products. 相似文献

A novel sensitive and stable phenols amperometric biosensor, based on polyaniline–polyacrylonitrile composite matrix, was applied for determination of benzoic acid. The electrochemical biosensor functioning was based on the inhibition effect of benzoic acid on the biocatalytic activity of the polyphenol oxidase (PPO) to its substrate (catechol) in 0.1 M phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.5). A potential value of −50 mV versus SCE, and a constant catechol concentration of 20 μM were selective to carry out the amperometric inhibition measurement. The kinetic parameters Michaelis-Menten constant and maximum current ( Imax) in the absence and in the presence of benzoic acid were also evaluated and the possible inhibition mechanism was deduced. The inhibiting action of benzoic acid on the polyphenol oxidase electrode was reversible and of the typical competitive type, with an apparent inhibition constant of 38 μM. This proposed biosensor detected levels of benzoic acid as low as 2 × 10 −7 M in solution. In addition, the effects of temperature, pH value of solution on the inhibition and the interferences were investigated and discussed herein. Inhibition studies revealed that the proposed electrochemical biosensor was applicable for monitoring benzoic acid in real sample such as milk, yoghurt, sprite and cola. 相似文献

A supported liquid membrane system has been developed for the extraction of vanillin from food samples. A porous PTFE membrane is impregnated with an organic solvent, which forms a barrier between two aqueous phases. The analyte is extracted from a donor phase into the hydrophobic membrane and then back extracted into a second aqueous solution, the acceptor. The determination (100–1400 μg ml −1 vanillin) was performed using a PVC-graphite composite electrode versus Ag/AgCl/3MKCl at +0.850 V placed in a wall-jet flow cell as amperometric detector. The solid sample is directly placed in the membrane unit without any treatment, and the analyte was extracted from the sample, passes through the membrane and conduced to the flow cell by the acceptor stream. The limit of detection (3 σ) was 44 μg ml −1. The method was applied to the determination of vanillin (9–606 μg g −1) in food samples. 相似文献

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilised on silica gel modified with titanium oxide. This material was employed to prepare modified carbon paste electrode. The direct electron transfer of the hydrogen peroxide reduction by HRP was blocked when immobilised on silica–titanium. This biosensor presented a very sensitive response for phenol (1 μmol l −1) at an applied potential of 0 mV vs SCE. The best condition was achieved in phosphate buffer pH 6.8, ratio of hydrogen peroxide/phenol higher than 0.35. The biosensor showed a linear response range between 10 and 50 μmol l −1 of phenol, adjusted by the equation j=−32.8+16.3 [phenol], for n=5 with a correlation coefficient of 0.9995. The response time of the biosensor was about 3 s. 相似文献

A simple and sensitive kinetic-spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of ultra trace amount of formaldehyde in food samples. The method was based on the oxidation of rhodamine B (RhB) by potassium bromate in sulfuric acid medium (formaldehyde as catalyst). The reaction was monitored by measuring the decrease in absorbance of the dye at 515 nm after 6 min. The developed method allowed the determination of formaldehyde in the range of 10–100 μg L −1 with good precision, accuracy and the detection limit was down to 2.90 μg L −1. The relative standard deviations for the determination of 10 and 60 μg L −1 of formaldehyde were 3.0% and 1.9% ( n = 10), respectively. The method was found to be sensitive, selective and was applied to the determination of formaldehyde in foods with satisfactory results. 相似文献

A highly selective and sensitive rhodamine-based colorimetric chemosensor (1) for quantification of divalent copper in aqueous solution has been investigated in this work. It was designed using salicylaldehyde hydrazone and rhodamine 6G as copper-chelating and signal-reporting groups, respectively. In environmentally friendly media (50% (v/v) water/ethanol and 10 mM NaAc–HAc neutral buffer (pH 7.0)), the sensor exhibited selective absorbance enhancement to Cu 2+ over other metal ions at 529 nm, with a dynamic working range of 0.05–5.00 μM and a detection limit of 10 nM Cu 2+, respectively. To achieve fluorometric determination of Cu 2+, the Cu 2+-induced absorbance enhancement of 1 was efficiently converted to fluorescence quenching by fluorescence inner filter effects using rhodamine B (RB) as a fluorophore. The selectivity and sensitivity of fluorescence analysis were similar to those of absorptiometric measurement. Both absorptiometric and fluorometric methods were successfully applied to the detection of Cu 2+ in three water samples. 相似文献
