Fluorescent quenching method for determination of trace hydrogen peroxide in rain water

A simple and sensitive fluorescent quenching method for the determination of trace hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) has been proposed to determine hydrogen peroxide in rain water sample. The method is based on the reaction of H(2)O(2) with 3,3'-diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide (DI) to form a compound which has no fluorescence in acetate buffer solution (pH 3.09). The maximum emission wavelength of the system is located at 604 nm with excitation at 570 nm. Under the optimal conditions, the calibration graph was obtained between the quenched fluorescence intensity and hydrogen peroxide concentration in the range of 5.0 x 10(-7) to 9.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1). The proposed method was applied to determine H(2)O(2) in rain water samples, and the result was satisfactory. The mechanism involved in the reaction was also studied.     

Functionalized CdSe quantum dots as selective silver ion chemodosimeter

CdSe quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared and modified with mercaptoacetic acid. They are water-soluble and biocompatible. To improve their fluorescence intensity and stability in water solution, bovine serum albumin (BSA) was absorbed onto their surface. Based on the quench of fluorescence signals of the functionalized CdSe QDs in the 543 nm wavelength and enhancement of them in the 570-700 nm wavelength range by Ag(I) ions at pH 5.0, a simple, rapid and specific method for Ag(I) determination was proposed. In comparison with single organic fluorophores, these nanoparticles are brighter, more stable against photobleaching, and do not suffer from blinking. Under the optimum conditions, the response is linearly proportional to the concentration of Ag(I) between 4.0 x 10(-7) and 1.5 x 10(-5) mol L(-1), and the limit of detection is 7.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1). The mechanism of reaction is also discussed.

Rapid quantitative determination of hydrogen peroxide by oxidation decolorization of methyl orange using a Fenton reaction system

In this study, a sensitive and rapid method for hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) determination has been developed with the aid of oxidation decolorization of methyl orange (MO) by using Fenton reactions, because the decolorization extent of MO solution (at the maximum absorption wavelength of 507 nm) is proportion to the concentration of H(2)O(2). Under optimum conditions, this spectrophotometric method for the H(2)O(2) analysis yields a dynamic range of H(2)O(2) concentration from 5.0 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) (r=0.997) and a detection limit (3 sigma/k) of 2.0 x 10(-7) mol L(-1). This method for the determination of H(2)O(2) (0.04 mmol L(-1)) is able to tolerate the interference from NaCl (0-5.0 mmol L(-1)), Na(2)SO(4) (0-5.0 mmol L(-1)), MgCl(2) (0-5.0 mmol L(-1)), sodium humate (0-0.1 mmol L(-1)), benzene (0-0.2 mmol L(-1)), toluene (0-0.2 mmol L(-1)), chlorobenzene (0-0.2 mmol L(-1)) and chloroform (0-0.2 mmol L(-1)). The analysis results for practical rainwater samples are in good agreement with the classical N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) method for H(2)O(2) determination.     

表面活性剂增溶比率荧光Zn2+检测方法研究

合成了一种新的Zn2+荧光检测试剂8-(2-(十八氨基)乙酰氨基)喹啉(AQZ-18)。通过自发荧光的非离子表面活性剂OP-10增溶AQZ-18,获得了一个与Zn2+结合后在320 nm和505 nm分别有两个荧光发射峰的溶液体系。短波长荧光峰来自OP-10,荧光峰强度不随Zn2+浓度变化;长波长荧光峰来自AQZ-18,荧光峰强度随Zn2+浓度增加而增强。利用上述两个荧光峰强度随Zn2+浓度变化时的比值变化建立了一种新的比率荧光Zn2+检测方法。研究表明,Zn2+与AQZ-18形成1∶1型基态配合物,其表观结合常数为1.1×106L/mol。常见金属离子对Zn2+荧光检测无干扰,Zn2+浓度在0～1.1×10-5mol/L范围内与荧光强度变化的比值呈良好的线性关系,相关系数(r2)为0.996 2,检出限为55 nmol/L。该方法可用于水样中Zn2+的检测。     

Simultaneous determination of trace of loxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin by micelle TLC-fluorimetry

The method of simultaneous determination of ofloxacin (OFLX), ciproflxacin (CPLX), and sparfloxacin (SPLX) by thin-layer chromatography is established, with micelle solutions as mobile phases. It is found that the optimum molar ratio of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid is 0.01:0.1. On the polyamide thin-layer sheet, OFLX, CPLX, and SPLX are separated from each other, and the corresponding Rf values are 0.72, 0.55, and 0.32, respectively. The fluorescence spots are scanned with a spectrodensitometer at the excitation wavelength of 282 nm. The cut-off filter is set at 400 nm. The detection limits are 2 x 10(-6) mol/L for OFLX, 1.5 x 10(-6) mol/L for CPLX, and 1.6 x 10(-6) mol/L for SPLX, and the respective linear ranges correspondingly fell in the concentration of 1 x 10(-5) to 4 x 10(-4) mol/L for OFLX, 1 x 10(-5) to 4.5 x 10(-4) mol/L for CPLX, and 1 x 10(-5) to 4.2 x 10(-4) mol/L for SPLX. For all the three components, the relative standard deviations are in the range of 1.12-5.82%, and the recoveries are found to be 96.7-104.2% in urine and serum samples.     

Fluorimetric study of the interaction between human serum albumin and quinolones-terbium complex and its application

A highly sensitive spectrofluorimetric method is proposed for determination of human serum albumin (HSA) and some quinolone drugs. Using quinolones-terbium (Tb3+) complex as a fluorescent probe, in the buffer solution of pH 7.8, HSA can remarkably enhance the fluorescence intensity of the quinolones-Tb3+ complex at 545 nm and the enhanced fluorescence intensity of Tb3+ ion is in proportion to the concentration of HSA and quinolone drugs. Optimum conditions for the determination of HSA were also investigated. The linear ranges and limits of detection are 8.0 x 10(-9) to 8.0 x 10(-8) mol L(-1), 4.20 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) (for HSA); 1.0 x 10(-6) to 4.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), 1.87 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) (for norfloxacin) and 1.0 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), 4.82 x 10(-8) mol L(-1) (for enoxacine), respectively. This method is simple, practical and relatively free interference from coexisting substances, as well as much more sensitive than most of the existing assays.

基于在pH 8.00磷酸氢二钠-柠檬酸缓冲介质中,血红蛋白对过氧化氢氧化对甲酚反应具有强的催化作用,汞(Ⅱ)对上述指示反应具有灵敏的抑制作用,从而提出了抑制荧光光谱法测定模拟废水中汞含量的方法。优化的试验条件如下:①血红蛋白的浓度为2.00×10-7 mol·L-1;②对甲酚的浓度为1.60×10-3 mol·L-1;③过氧化氢的浓度为1.11×10-3 mol·L-1;④反应时间为80min。在激发波长318nm、发射波长405nm处,反应体系的ΔF(即F0与F值之差)与汞(Ⅱ)的浓度在2.00×10-8～1.00×10-5 mol·L-1范围内呈线性关系。方法用于模拟废水的分析,测得加标回收率在94.0%～105%之间,相对标准偏差(n=8)在2.5%～3.3%之间。     

Facile synthesis of water-soluble and size-homogeneous cadmium selenide nanoparticles and their application as a long-wavelength fluorescent probe for detection of Hg(II) in aqueous solution

Highly luminescent uncoated water-soluble and mono-disperse CdSe nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared facilely. Uncoated CdSe core NPs possessing a good size distribution was accompanied with long wavelength of fluorescence emission. It is interesting to note that these functionalized NPs are soluble in water medium stably for more than 1 month, and no significant changes were found in the optical characteristics in comparison with fresh CdSe NPs prepared. The functionalized CdSe NPs exhibited strong specific affinity for mercury(II) through their surface functional groups. Based on the significant quenching of fluorescence emission of functionalized CdSe NPs with a long-wavelength 630nm, a simple, rapid and specific detection for Hg(II) was proposed. Under optimum conditions, the response of linearly proportional to the concentration of Hg(II) is between 0mol/L and 1.25x10(-6)mol/L, and the limit of detection is 4.50x10(-9)mol/L. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of six replicate measurements is 2.0% for 2.0x10(-7)mol/L of Hg(II). In terms of fluorescence quenching at 630nm of CdSe NPs, no obvious wavelength shift or no new emission band in presence of Hg(II) at pH 7.50 of phosphate buffer solution were found; furthermore, a significant reduction in absorbance at 230nm of CdSe NPs was first observed in our work. We could speculate that Hg(II) as an effective quencher (even at low concentration) for functionalized CdSe NPs emission suggests that it is capable of directly intercepting one of the charge carriers, thus disrupting the recombination process.     

Effect of di-2-ethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate reversed micelles on the iron-tetrasulfonatophthalocyanine-catalyzed fluorogenic oxidation reaction of L-tyrosine with hydrogen peroxide.

The catalytic behavior of iron tetrasulfonatophthalocyanine (FeTSPc) for the oxidation reaction of L-tyrosine with H2O2 in a di-2-ethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) reversed-micellar system (AOT/cyclohexane) was studied. It was indicated that the reversed micelles could not only enhance the catalytic activity of FeTSPc, but could also increase the fluorescence intensity of the product. Factors that may influence the catalytic reaction, including the concentration of AOT, the cosolubilized water, temperature and pH, were further examined. The possibility of its analytical application was also tested. Experimental results show that the calibration graphs for the determinations of FeTSPc and H2O2 under optimum conditions are linear over the range of 1.0 x 10-8 - 1.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) and 0.0 - 3.0 x 10(-6) mol L(-1), respectively, with detection limits of 1.1 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) and 3.1 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) for FeTSPc and H2O2, respectively.     

Determination of ulifloxacin by terbium-sensitized fluorescence with second-order scattering and its applications.

This paper reports the determination of ulifloxacin (UFX) by terbium-sensitized fluorescence using a second-order scattering method. UFX and Tb(III) ion form a fluorescence complex in aqueous solution, and its maximum excitation and emission wavelengths are located at 273 and 545 nm, respectively. In optimum conditions, the relative intensity at 545 nm has a linear relationship to the concentration of UFX in the range of 2.0 x 10(-8) - 1.0 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) and the detection limit is 3.9 x 10(-9) mol L(-1). The proposed method was applied to the determination of UFX in spiked human serum and urine satisfactorily. The luminescence property of UFX is also discussed by comparing with norfloxacin (NFLX) and ofloxacin (OFLX).     

铽-依诺沙星-SDS敏化荧光猝灭法检测雷公藤红素

在pH 9.3的氨-氯化铵缓冲溶液中,铽(Ⅲ)能与依诺沙星、十二烷基硫酸钠(SDS)形成荧光配合物(λex=330 nm、λem=545 nm),SDS的存在能增强配合物的荧光强度。研究发现,在该反应体系中加入适量雷公藤红素溶液后,铽(Ⅲ)与依诺沙星络合物的激发、发射峰位置不变,但其荧光强度呈规律性下降。据此,建立了简单、快速、灵敏地测定雷公藤红素的荧光分析方法。雷公藤红素的浓度在5.2×10-6～8.4×10-5 mol/L范围内呈良好线性关系,方法的检出限为4.1×10-8 mol/L。

Fluorimetric determination of peroxynitrite based on an enzymatic reaction.

A novel fluorimetric method for the determination of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) using hemoglobin (Hb) as a catalyst is described. The method employs the reaction of ONOO with thiamine (TM), a colorless, non-fluorescent reagent in a glycine-NaCl-NaOH buffer solution (pH 12.7), to generate a highly fluorescent product, thiochrome (TC). The fluorescent product was monitored by fluorimetry. A linear calibration graph was obtained over an ONOO- concentration range from 4.95 x 10(-7) mol L(-1) to 2.97 x 10(-5) mol L(-1), with a detection limit of 9.78 x 10(-9) mol L(-1) ONOO-. The relative standard deviation at an ONOO- concentration of 2.11 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) was 4.15% (n = 9).     

A new spectrofluorometric probe for the determination of trace amounts of CoA in injection, human serum and pig livers.

A new spectrofluorometric method has been developed for the determination of trace amounts of coenzyme A (CoA). Using europium (Eu3+)-tetracycline (TC) complex as a fluorescent probe in the buffer solution of pH 6.80, CoA could remarkably enhance the fluorescence intensity of the Eu3+-TC complex at lambda = 612 nm after adding H(5)IO(6) and the enhanced fluorescence intensity is in proportion to the concentration of CoA. Optimum conditions for the determination of CoA were also investigated. The dynamic range for the determination of CoA is 6.08 x 10(-8) - 1.84 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) with detection limit of 4.62 x 10(-8) mol L(-1). This method is simple, practical and relatively free of interference from coexisting substances and can be successfully applied to determination of CoA in injection, human serum and pig liver samples. Moreover, the enhancement mechanisms of the fluorescence intensity in the Eu3+-TC system and the CoA-Eu3+-TC system have been also discussed.     

2,5-di-[2-(3,5-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine -4-hydroxy-phenyl) ethylene] pyrazine zinc complex as fluorescent probe for labeling proteins

The binding characteristics between 2,5-di-[2-(3,5-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine -4-hydroxy-phenyl) ethylene] pyrazine (1) or its complex (1-Zn) and serum albumins were studied by fluorescence spectroscopy in pH 7.4 aqueous solution. 1-Zn emitted weak fluorescence at 580 nm in a pH 7.4 Tris-HCl buffer solution when excited at 435 nm, however, the fluorescence intensity increased upon addition of serum albumins with the blue shift of emission peak to 524 nm. The binding constants were estimated as 8.40 x 10(7) and 3.03 x 10(6)mol(-1)L for bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human serum albumin (HSA) respectively, and the number of binding sites was 1 for each. The quenching mechanism of fluorescence of serum albumins by 1-Zn was considered as a static quenching process. The binding distance between 1-Zn and serum albumins and the energy transfer efficiency were obtained based on the theory of F?rester spectroscopy energy transfer. The effect of 1-Zn on the conformation of serum albumins was further analyzed using synchronous fluorescence spectrometry. The experiment results clearly showed that 1-Zn is a highly sensitive protein sensor.     

Studies on direct electron transfer and biocatalytic properties of hemoglobin in polyacrylonitrile matrix

The direct electrochemistry of hemoglobin (Hb) immobilized in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) modified glassy carbon electrode was described. The protein-PAN film exhibited a pair of well-defined and quasi-reversible cyclic voltammetric peaks for Hb Fe(III)/Fe(II) redox couple in a pH 7.0 phosphate buffer. The formal potential of Hb heme Fe(III)/Fe(II) couple varied linearly with the increase of pH in the range of 5.0-9.0 with a slope of 54 mV pH(-1), which implied that a proton transfer was accompanied with each electron transfer in the electrochemical reaction. Position of Soret absorption band of Hb-PAN film suggested that the Hb kept its secondary structure similar to its native state in the PAN matrix. The Hb in PAN matrix acted as a biologic catalyst to catalyze the reduction of hydrogen peroxide. The electrocatalytic response showed a linear dependence on the H(2)O(2) concentration ranging from 8.3 x 10(-6) to 5 x 10(-4) mol L(-1) with a detection limit of 8.3 x 10(-6) mol L(-1) at 3 sigma. The apparent Michaelis-Menten constant K(M)(app) for H(2)O(2) sensor was estimated to be 0.9 mmol L(-1).     

The interaction between some diamines and CdSe quantum dots

The interaction of some diamines (ethylenediamine (EDA), 1,6-hexanediamine (HDA), o-phenylenediamine (OPD)) with CdSe quantum dots (QDs) is reported. With increasing concentration of EDA from 0 to 2.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1), slight fluorescence enhancement is observed. However, the CdSe QDs fluorescence quenching is seen at relatively higher concentration of EDA. There is a red-shift of 0-7 nm in fluorescence emission spectra of CdSe QDs when the concentration of EDA is changed from 2.0 x 10(-6) to 8.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1). The resonance light scattering (RLS) spectra of CdSe QDs have little change when the concentration of EDA is less than 5.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1). It indicates there are little large particles formed in the solution. However, a significant increase of the RLS is observed in the 300-500 nm wavelength range after adding higher concentration than 5.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) EDA, which could be attributed to the large particles formed. The interaction between HDA and CdSe QDs is similar to that of EDA. However, with the OPD, it is found that the interaction is much different from those of EDA, HDA, and that the quenching, even at low concentration, is effective for CdSe QDs emission. The quenching phenomenon could be explained by a surface bound complexation equilibrium model.     

Luminescence effect of silver nanoparticle in water phase

Yellow silver nanoparticles in water phase were prepared by microwave synthesis method. Study found that there is a fluorescence peak at 465 nm and a strongest resonance scattering peak at 460 nm for the nanoparticles. The resonance scattering intensity at 465 nm I(460 nm). fluorescence intensity at 465 nm F(465)(nm) and absorbance at 455 nm A(455 nm) were found linear to the concentration c(Ag) in the range from 0 to 3.5x10(-4)mol/L Ag, with linear regression equation for I(460 nm)=48.1x10(4) c(Ag)+3.69 and F(465 nm)=28.7x10(4)c(Ag)+3.50 and A(455 nm)1.23x10(4)c(Ag)+0.01, their regression coefficient for 0.9976, 0.9954 and 0.9957, respectively. When the c(Ag) was over 3.5x10(-4)mol/L, the resonance scattering peak and fluorescence peak of 465 nm take place red-shift and display luminescence quenching, but the absorption peak place does not change and the absorption intensity enhances. The paper reports the spectral properties of silver nanoparticles in water phase, and offers the principle of interface luminescence electron to state the luminescence effect of silver nanoparticles.     

A study on silver nanoparticles-sensitized fluorescence and second-order scattering of the complexes of Tb(III) with ciprofloxacin and its applications

Fluorescence of terbium(III) is sensitized when excited in the presence of ciprofloxacin (CPLX) in the aqueous solution because a Tb(III)-CPLX complex is formed and the maximum fluorescence peak locates at 545 nm. The second-order scattering (SOS) peak at 545 nm also appears for the Tb(III)-CPLX complexes with the excitation wavelength of 272 nm. The intensity at 545 nm obviously increases when the silver nanoparticles are added to the Tb(III)-CPLX system, and the relative intensity is proportional to the concentration of CPLX. Based on this phenomenon, a new method for the determination of CPLX has been developed by using a common spectrofluorometer to measure the intensity of fluorescence and SOS. The intensity is enhanced most by silver nanoparticles at pH 6.0. The calibration graph for CPLX is linear in the range of 3.0 x 10(-9) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol l(-1). The detection limit is 8.5 x 10(-10) mol l(-1). The method was applied satisfactorily to the determination of CPLX in tablets and capsules. The results show that silver nanoparticles with certain size and concentration can enhance the fluorescence and SOS intensity of the system.
