Copper Sulfide Wire as a Selective Fiber in Solid-Phase Microextraction

Summary A copper wire coated with copper sulfide (CuS) was investigated as fiber for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The fibers seem very effective for extraction of aliphatic alcohols and amines from aqueous samples. Optimum conditions for the preparation and conditioning of the fibers are presented. Scanning electron microscopy shows the formation of a porous CuS layer with a thickness of ca. 9 m. The calibration graph for benzyl alcohol was linear in the range 10–100 ppb. The detection limit for benzyl alcohol and GC-FID was 2 ppb (S/N=3).     

Solid-Phase Microextraction Gas Chromatography for Determination of Some Organophosphorus Pesticides

A simple and rapid solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method is presented based on activated charcoal–PVC fiber for determination of some organophosphorus pesticides from aqueous samples in direct mode SPME. After optimization of the experimental variables affecting SPME of the target compounds from aqueous solutions, the proposed method was applied to determine pesticides in fruit juice. The analytes in this procedure were preconcentrated for 15 min on the SPME fiber and subsequently desorbed by heating the fiber at 200 °C for 5 min in the GC injection port. Separation was on a capillary column GC followed by flame ionization detection. Recoveries of the pesticides studied in aqueous samples ranged 42%–63% and repeatability for all analytes was < 9% for a single fiber. Fiber-to-fiber reproducibility was < 18%.     

Pencil Lead Electrode Modified with Hemoglobin Film as a Novel Biosensor for Nitrite Determination

In the present paper, the electrochemical reduction of nitrite at a hemoglobin modified pencil lead electrode (Hb/PLE) is described. The electrochemical properties of nitrite were studied by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Results showed that the hemoglobin film has an excellent electrochemical activity towards the reduction of nitrite. By using voltammetric and chronoamperometric methods, α, n_α and n were calculated. Then the ability of the electrode for nitrite determination was investigated using differential pulse voltammetry. The electrocatalytic reduction peak currents were found to be linear with the nitrite concentration in the range from 10 to 220 µM with a detection limit of 5 µM. The relative standard deviation is 2 % for 3 successive determinations of a 100 µM nitrite solution. This modified electrode was successfully used for the detection of low amounts of NO₂^? in spinach sample and a spiked sample of tap water.     

Sol-Gel Method for the Preparation of Solid-Phase Microextraction Fibers

ABSTRACT

A novel sol-gel method is applied for the preparation of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) fibers. Scanning electron microscopy experiments suggested a porous structure for the poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) coating. SPME-GC analysis provided evidence that the sol-gel fibers have some advantages, such as high thermal stability, efficient extraction rates, high velocities of mass transfer, and spacious range of application.     

Novel Activated Carbon Fiber Solid-Phase Microextraction for Determination of Benzyl Chloride and Related Compounds in Water by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry

An activated carbon fiber (ACF) has been developed for use as an extraction fiber in solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and used to determine benzyl chloride, benzyl dichloride, and benzyl trichloride in water samples by headspace (HS) analysis. Experiments showed that ACF has excellent adsorption capacity. Its well-distributed surface makes desorption swift in a GC–MS injector. Several conditions affecting the ACF-SPME procedure, for example adsorption mode, adsorption time and temperature, and desorption time, were optimized. The optimized HS-ACF-SPME method has acceptable linearity, good precision, and reasonable RSD values for the compounds studied. The ACF is, therefore, a promising alternative for SPME.     

Use of Solid-Phase Microextraction to Monitor Gases Resulting from Thermal Plasma Pyrolysis

This paper proposes use of solid-phase microextraction to monitor the gases resulting from thermal plasma pyrolysis, instead of the traditional process using an air-tight syringe. The results confirm that thermal plasma technology can be used to eliminate carbon tetrachloride, because dioxins and furans were not detected. Some chlorinated compounds, for example tetrachloroethylene, hexachloroethane, 1,1,2,3,4,4 hexachloro-1,3-butadiene, 1,2,3,4,5,5-hexachloro-1,3-cyclopentadiene, and octachlorocyclopentadiene were detected, however. The results also confirm that this technique is more efficient than injection by means of an air-tight syringe for monitoring gases formed by the pyrolysis of carbon tetrachloride and enables detection of all viable sample constituents.Revised: 18 December 2003 and 12 February 2004

Preparation of a Robust and Sensitive Gold-Coated Fiber for Solid-Phase Microextraction of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Environmental Waters

A robust gold-coated solid-phase microextraction fiber was rapidly prepared on an etched stainless-steel wire based on chemical deposition. Gold(III) was reduced to produce a mechanically robust fiber with a stable coating. Subsequently, it was applied for solid-phase microextraction of five polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples coupled to high performance liquid chromatography with an ultraviolet-visible detector. The preconcentration conditions were optimized, including extraction and desorption time, temperature, stirring rate, and ionic strength. Under the optimized conditions, the calibration graphs were linear in the range from 1 to 500 µg · L^?1 for naphthalene and 0.20–500 µg · L^?1 for phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, and pyrene. Limits of detection were between 0.016 and 0.22 µg · L^?1 (signal-to-noise ratio = 3). The analysis of water samples showed that the recoveries ranged from 86.0% to 112.9% with relative standard deviations between 2.03% and 11.7%. The fiber coating was sensitive and suitable for the preconcentration and determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in environmental waters. Compared with previously reported solid-phase microextraction methods, this device offered easy preparation, low cost, resistance to organic solvents, good stability, and high durability.     

Application of Solid-Phase Microextraction for the Analysis of Nitropolycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Water

The present work investigates the applicability of solid-phase microextraction coupled to gas-chromatography mass-spectrometry for the determination of trace amounts of nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples. The main parameters affecting solid-phase microextraction (sampling mode, fibre type, sampling time, agitation rate and ionic strength of the aqueous solution) were controlled and the optimal experimental conditions found were: 65-μm polydimethylsiloxane-divinylbenzene fibre immersed for 45 min to 5 mL spiked water samples, stirred at 1250 rpm. The developed solid-phase microextraction method was found to be linear in the concentration range 0.1 to 10 μg L⁻¹, with the detection limits ranging between 0.004 and 0.060 μg L⁻¹ (under the selective ion monitoring mode) and the repeatability varying between 1.7 and 5.9% (n=5). Analysis of spiked tap and well water samples revealed that matrix had little effect on extraction. Overall, it was found that solid-phase microextraction is suitable for the trace analysis of nitropolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples. Revised: 14 October and 14 November 2005     

Determination of Diazepam in Human Plasma by Solid-Phase Microextraction and Capillary Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry

A simple, sensitive, and reproducible solid-phase microextraction and capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) method for determination of diazepam in human plasma is described. The optimum conditions for the SPME procedure were as following: direct extraction mode with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fiber (100 μm film thickness), 250 μL of sample plasma matrix modified with a solution containing sodium chloride (10% weight by volume) and 4.25 mL of a phosphate buffer solution (0.1mol L⁻¹, pH 6.9), extraction temperature 55°C under a magnetic stirring rate of 2500 rpm for 30 min, followed by the drug thermal desorption (250°C) in a GC injection port for 10 min. The limit of quantification of diazepam in plasma was 10.0 ng mL⁻¹, with a coefficient of variation lower than 14.0% and linearity from 10.0 to 1000.0 ng mL⁻¹, which allows diazepam analyses from sub to therapeutic levels.

Solid-Phase Microextraction of Aliphatic Alcohols Based on Polyaniline Coated Fibers

The efficiency of polyaniline (PANI), coated gold wire was investigated for use as a fiber for solid-phase microextraction (SPME). Aniline monomers were electropolymerized on gold wires by applying a constant current to an acetate buffer containing NaClO₄ as supporting electrolyte for 30 min. These fibers were used for the extraction of some aliphatic alcohols from gaseous samples. The results obtained proved the ability of PANI fiber for sampling organic compounds from gaseous samples. From this work, optimum conditions for preparation and conditioning of fibers and for the extraction of analytes from gaseous samples were obtained. Under optimum conditions, one fiber was used for several equivalent analyses and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were <7% (n=6). However, fiber to fiber reproducibility was <9% (n=6). This fiber is firm and durable and is simply prepared. Calibration graphs were linear in the range: 0.1–10 g mL^–1 for aliphatic alcohols; the detection limit range was 15–75 ng mL^–1 (S/N=3) using a flame ionization detector.

Voltammetric Determination of Hemoglobin Using a Pencil Lead Electrode

In this paper the electrochemical behavior of hemoglobin (Hb) immobilized on a pencil lead electrode (PLE) was investigated. Immobilization of Hb on the pencil lead electrode was performed by nonelectrochemical and electrochemical methods. In phosphate buffer solution with pH 7.0 Hb showed a pair of well‐defined and nearly reversible redox waves (the anodic and cathodic peak potentials are located at ?0.18 V and ?0.22 V, respectively). The dependence of the anodic peak potential (E_pa) on the pH of the buffer solution indicated that the conversion of Hb? Fe(III)/Hb? Fe(II) is a one‐electron‐transfer reaction process coupled with one‐proton‐transfer. In addition the effect of scan rate on peak currents and peak separation potential was investigated and electrochemical parameters such as α and k_s were calculated. In the second part of this work, the ability of the electrode for determination of Hb concentration was investigated. The results showed a linear dynamic range from 0.15 to 2 µM and a detection limit of 0.11 µM. The relative standard deviation is 4.1 % for 4 successive determinations of a 1 µM Hb solution.
