Catalytic determination of ultra trace amounts of vanadium with detection by linear sweep voltammetry

Vanadium has a very strong catalytic effect on the bromate oxidation of gallocyanine at pH of 4.0. The oxidation product of gallocyanine exhibit a voltammetric wave at + 0.10 V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode in 0.10 mol/l KNO₃ medium. The linear scan voltammetric behaviour of the reaction products at HMDE has been studied and selected as the indicator component for the reaction. A detection limit of 0.05 ng/ml and calibration graph from 0.30–200.00 ng/ml vanadium were obtained. Vanadium in water and gasoline samples was determined by this method, with satisfactory results.

Spectrophotometric reaction rate method for the determination of osmium by its catalytic effect on the oxidation of gallocyanine by bromate

A simple kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of osmium. The method is based on the catalytic effect of osmium as osmium tetroxide on the oxidation of gallocyanine by bromate at pH 7. The reaction is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decreasing absorbance of gallocyanine at 620 nm by the fixed-time method. A detection limit of 0.01 ng/ml and linear calibration curve from 0.1 to 100 and from 100 to 1200 ng/ml Os(VIII) is reported. The relative standard deviation for 0.0100 microg/ml Os(VIII) is 0.8% (N = 10). The method is free from most interferences. Osmium in synthetic samples is determined by this method, with satisfactory results.     

Detection of ferritin in human serum with a MAP-H(2)O(2)-HRP voltammetric enzyme-linked immunoassay system

A voltammetric enzyme-linked immunoassay based on new system of m-aminophenol (MAP)-H(2)O(2)-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has firstly been developed and used for the detection of HRP, labelled HRP and ferritin in human serum. HRP or labelled HRP catalyzes the oxidation reaction of MAP with H(2)O(2), the product of which produces a sensitive voltammetric peak at potential of -0.46 V (vs. SCE) in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer solution. By using this voltammetric peak, HRP can be measured with a detection limit of 9.5x10(-1) mU/l and a linear range of 2.5-2.5x10(2) mU/l. The detection limit to ferritin is 0.25 ng/ml and the linear range 0.25-320 ng/ml. The processes of the electro-reduction of the product of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction have been investigated in detail.

Methods are given for the ranges 0.02–0.10 and 0.2–1.0 μg V/ml. A method of elimination of interfering elements is proposed, which allows a highly selective determination of vanadium. The mechanism of the reaction is briefly discussed.     

3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-H2O2-HRP voltammetric enzyme-linked immunoassay for the detection of carcionembryonic antigen

A new voltammetric enzyme-linked immunoassay system of 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-H2O2-horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been presented and used for the sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in human serum. In this proposed procedure, DAB was firstly used as the electroactive substrate in the HRP catalyzed oxidation reaction in the present of H2O2. The generated product produced a sensitive second-order derivative linear sweep voltammetric peak at potential of -0.62 V (vs. SCE) in Britton-Robinson (BR) buffer solution. The free HRP could be measured in a linear range from 2.5 x 10(-6)-2.5 x 10(-2) unit/ml and a detection limit of about 1.5 x 10(-6) unit/ml. Under the optimal experiment conditions, CEA could be detected in the linear range from 0.50 to 80 ng/ml with a detection limit of 0.5 ng/ml. The proposed electrochemical enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method is simple, inexpensive, reproducible and sensitive, which shows promising for detecting CEA in the clinical diagnosis.

Voltammetric Behavior of p‐Nitrophenol and Its Trace Determination in Human Urine by Liquid Chromatography with a Dual Reductive Mode Electrochemical Detection System

The determination of trace p-nitrophenol (PNP) concentrations in human urine has been successfully achieved by high performance liquid chromatography dual electrode detection (LC-DED) in the reduction-reduction mode. Initial cyclic voltammetric studies were undertaken to investigate the electrochemical behavior of PNP at a glassy carbon electrode over a wide pH range; the redox processes giving rise to the signals have been deduced. Further, deductions regarding the behavior in the flow cells were made from hydrodynamic voltammetric data. PNP eluting from the analytical LC column is first reduced to p-hydroxylaminophenol, at the first generator electrochemical cell. This species then undergoes chemical oxidation to give a quinoneimine species which is then detected at the downstream detector electrode using an applied potential of −0.1 V. The optimum chromatographic mobile phase consisted of 40% acetonitrile, 60% water, containing 25 mM o-phosphoric acid, at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min; this was used in conjunction with a Hypersil C₁₈ column. Hydrodynamic voltammetric studies were undertaken to investigate the dual electrode behavior of PNP, and an applied potential of −2.0 V at the generator cell and −0.10 V at the detector cell were found to be optimum. The response was found to be linear over the range 7.0 ng to 500 ng on column, with an associated R² value of 0.9981; the limit of detection was found to be 1.0 ng PNP on column. No interferences were seen for a number of common drugs or for the principal electrochemically active components of human urine or serum. The developed assay was successfully applied to the determination of trace concentrations of PNP in human urine samples, exhibiting coefficients of variation of 7.1% (n=7), with a mean recovery of 94.7% for urine fortified at 522 ng mL⁻¹.

The method is easy to perform and uses acetylcellulose as a carrier. The reagents used for activating the cellulose support are inexpensive, non-toxic and widely available.     

The Electrochemical Oxidation of 5‐Thio‐2‐nitrobenzoic acid (TNBA) at a Boron Doped Diamond Electrode: Demonstration of a CEC Reaction

The oxidation of 5‐thio‐2‐nitrobenzoic acid (TNBA) over a wide pH range has been investigated using cyclic voltammetry at a boron doped diamond electrode. The reaction has been shown to proceed via a CEC reaction process in which at lower pH the thiol moiety of the TNBA species has to undergo deprotonation before oxidation. DIGISIM modelling of the voltammetric profiles deduced a value of 5.2 for the pK_a of the thiol moiety which is in good agreement with that obtained from spectrophotometric data. Also reported are the rate constants for all the heterogeneous and homogeneous processes.

A novel and highly sensitive catalytic method for the determination of ultratrace amounts of gold in ores with linear scan voltammetry at a DME

Gold(III) has a strong catalytic effect on the slow redox reaction between Ce(IV) and Hg(I) in a sulphuric acid medium at 90°C, and the Ce(IV) unreacted in the catalytic reaction reacts with benzilic acid to form benzophenone that exhibits a sensitive linear scan voltammetric wave at −0.78 V vs. SCE. This provides the basis for a novel and highly sensitive and selective catalytic method with linear scan voltammetry at a DME for gold. Both reactions of Ce(IV)---Hg(I)---Au(III) and Ce(IV)—benzilic acid are investigated by means of linear scan voltammetry. The detection limit is 0.05 ng/ml with a fixed-reaction time of 15 min. A linear calibration graph from 0.15 to 5 ng/ml is obtained. Possible influences by co-existing ions are examined. Gold in ore samples is analysed by this catalytic method with satisfactory results.

Sensitive detection of a plant virus by electrochemical enzyme-linked immunoassay

The electrochemical enzyme-linked immunoassay increases the sensitivity of the detection of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) by 5-fold compared with the spectrophotometric o-phenylenediamine (OPD) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The detection limit for the purified CMV is 1.0 ng/mL and the highest dilution ratio of the infected leaf sap is 1?:?5.0 × 10⁴.

The enzymatic product 2-aminophenoxazine-3-one exhibits a sensitive second order derivative linear-sweep voltammetric response at the potential of –0.65 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in pH 8.0 Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffer solution. So it can be applied to the detection of the plant virus with highly improved sensitivity.

Improved high-performance liquid chromatographic determination with amperometric detection of alpha-amanitin in human plasma based on its voltammetric study

A sensitive and simple method is described for the selective determination in human plasma of alpha-amanitin, the most poisonous and prevalent toxin in the lethal fungi of species Amanita, using high-performance liquid chromatography with amperometric detection. After an extraction of plasma with disposable C18 silica cartridges, the extracts were separated by isocratic reversed-phase chromatography using a macroporous poly(styrene-divinylbenzene) column and a mobile phase of 0.05 M phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (91:9) at the apparent pH of 9.5. Amperometric detection was performed by applying an oxidation potential as low as +350 mV (vs. Ag/AgCl) to a glassy carbon electrode, in a thin-layer flow-cell. The linear range for alpha-amanitin was 3-200 ng/ml, and the relative limit of detection in plasma was 2 ng/ml at a signal-to-noise ratio of 2. The intra-assay precision was evaluated at levels of 10 and 200 ng/ml; the coefficients of variation were 4.5 and 2.6% (n = 5), respectively. Inter-assay coefficients of variation were 6.5 and 4.2% (n = 5) for the same concentrations of toxin. These analytical conditions have been chosen on the basis of a preliminary in batch cyclic voltammetric investigation of alpha-, beta- and gamma-amanitins, which has allowed their oxidation process to be clarified and the pH dependence of their oxidation potentials to be determined. All three amanitins are oxidized at the same potential values, and adsorption onto the electrode surface of both reactant and products was found in all cases. This adsorption did not affect the signal recorded for alpha- and gamma-amanitins at the amperometric detector, and for beta-amanitin a stronger adsorption for the anodic product was found, which leads to a marked positive shift of the potential required for the oxidation of this isomer in the amperometric detector cell.     

Voltammetric study of the oxidation of quercetin and catechin in the presence of cyanide ion

The reaction of electrochemically generated o-benzoquinones from oxidation of quercetin and catechin as Michael acceptors with cyanide ion as nucleophile has been studied using cyclic voltammetry. The reaction mechanism is believed to be EC; including oxidation of catechol moiety of these antioxidants followed by Michael addition of cyanide ion. The observed homogeneous rate constants (k _obs) for reactions were estimated by comparing the experimental voltammetric responses with the digitally simulated results based on the proposed mechanism. The effects of pH and nucleophile concentration on voltammetric behavior and the rate constants of chemical reactions were also described.
