Determination of trace iron in beer using flow injection systems with in-valve column and bead injection

Three flow injection (FI) systems were investigated for the determination of trace iron in beer: an FI-in-valve column-flame atomic absorption spectrophotometry (FI-FAAS) system, a spectrophotometric FI system with a column placed at the detection point, and an FI-spectrophotometric system with bead injection (FI-BI). Cationic exchange resin Dowex 50W X8 and iminodiacetate chelating resin, Chelex-100, were employed for the FI-spectrophotometric and FI-FAAS systems, respectively. The FI-in-valve column, packed with the resin, enhances the FAAS performance. The spectrophotometric FI system with a column (packed with Chelex-100) placed at the detection point (in a cell holder of a spectrophotometer) is based on the formation of iron (II)–1,10-phenanthroline complex sorbed onto the resin. No eluent has been found to be suitable. The FI-BI for renewable microcolumn has been proven to be an alternative. The FI-FAAS and FI-BI procedures provide online sample preseparation and preconcentration for the determination of iron in beer. Both are simple, rapid, and economical. The procedures also involve sample preparation (decarbonation and suppression of tannin interference by adding ascorbic acid) and standard addition. The results obtained by FI-FAAS and FI-BI agree with those of AOAC spectrophotometric method.     

Microwave-assisted on-line derivatization for sensitive flow injection fluorometric determination of formaldehyde in some foods

A rapid and sensitive flow injection fluorometry has been developed for the determination of formaldehyde based on the microwave on-line accelerating its Hantzsch reaction with cyclohexane-1,3-dione. Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescent intensity is proportional to formaldehyde content in the range from 0.05 ng/mL to 2.000 μg/mL. The detection limit (S/N = 3) is 0.02 ng/mL and the analytical frequency is 28 injections per hour. The relative standard deviations are 2.2% and 3.1% for eleven injections of 0.100 and 0.001 μg/mL of formaldehyde, respectively. With the assistance of microwave irradiation, a best sensitive fluorometry was established for the determination of formaldehyde at a high analytical frequency. This method was successfully applied to food analysis without requiring any sample pretreatment, and the determination results were correlated well with those obtained by the standard method with a sample pretreatment of steam distillation.

Determination of available phosphorus in soils by using a new extraction procedure and a flow injection amperometric system

A new extraction procedure based on an off-line extraction column was proposed for extracting of available phosphorus from soils. The column was fabricated from a plastic syringe fitted at the bottom with a cotton wool and a piece of filter paper to support a soil sample. An aliquot (50 mL) of extracting solution (0.05 M HCl + 0.0125 M H₂SO₄) was used to extract the sample under gravity flow and the eluate was collected in a polyethylene bottle. The extract was then analyzed for phosphorus contents by a simple flow injection amperometric system, employing a set of three-way solenoid valves as an injection valve. The method is based on the electrochemical reduction of 12-molybdophosphate which is produced on-line by the reaction of orthophosphate with acidic molybdate and the electrical current produced was directly proportional to the concentration of phosphate in range of 0.1-10.0 mg L⁻¹ PO₄-P, with a detection limit of 0.02 mg L⁻¹. Relative standard for 11 replicate injections of 5 mg L⁻¹ PO₄-P was 0.5%. A sample through put of 35 h⁻¹ was achieved, with consumption of 14 mg KCl, 10 mg ammonium molybdate and 0.05 mL H₂SO₄ per analysis. The detection system does not suffer from the interferences that are encountered in the photometric method such as colored substances, colloids, metal ions, silicate and refractive index effect (Schlieren effect). The results obtained by the column extraction procedure were well correlated with those obtained by the steady-state extraction procedure, but showed slightly higher extraction efficiency.

Determination of hydrogen peroxide by using a flow injection system with immobilized peroxidase and long pathlength capillary spectrophotometry

The development of a highly sensitive method for the determination of nanomolar concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in the liquid phase is described. This paper demonstrates for the first time a flow injection analysis (FIA) system with immobilized enzyme reactor combined with a total internal reflective cell (a liquid waveguide capillary cell (LWCC)) and spectrophotometric detection, for the development of an improved procedure for the determination of hydrogen peroxide. Moreover, the newly synthesized 4-aminopyrazolone derivative, 4-amino-5-(p-aminophenyl)-1-methyl-2-phenyl-pyrazol-3-one (DAP), is used as a color coupler in its oxidative condensation with the sodium salt of N-ethyl-N-sulphopropylaniline sodium salt (ALPS) which acts as a hydrogen donor. Immobilization of peroxidase is achieved by coupling the periodate-treated enzyme to aminopropyl controlled-pore glass (CPG) beads. The determination of hydrogen peroxide is carried out in a 0.1 M phosphate buffer and the product is monitored at 590 nm with a charge-coupled device (CCD) detector equipped with fiber optics in a fully computerized system. The interference of different species, mainly ionic, was investigated.The method permits detection down to 4 nmol l⁻¹ hydrogen peroxide (signal-to-noise ratio=3). A linear calibration graph was obtained over the range 20-700 nmol l⁻¹. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) at 300 nmol l⁻¹ H₂O₂ is 1.7% (n=7). The method was successfully applied for the determination of hydrogen peroxide in samples from a vat-cleaning process.     

Exploiting flow injection system with mini-immunoaffinity chromatographic column for chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans assay

A flow injection (FI) system with a mini-immunoaffinity chromatographic column was used to perform on-line assays of specific proteoglycans. The 300-μL mini-column contained beads coupled with monoclonal antibodies against the specific sulfation pattern of chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, which have been reported to be a potential biomarker for cancer. The amount of these proteoglycans present was estimated indirectly from their protein content using the Bradford assay, which is an alternative to a direct carbohydrate assay. The system developed was tested by assaying for chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans in sera from patients with various cancers and comparing the results to those obtained for sera from healthy people. The results indicated that this approach could be used as a cost-effective alternative system for determining the amount of these specific biomarker proteoglycans. The column could be reused at least 90 times, with each run consisting of 200 μL of serum sample diluted twofold; an analysis rate of 30 min per run was achieved, as compared to 4 h for a batch procedure.

On-line collection/concentration of trace amounts of formaldehyde in air with chromatomembrane cell and its sensitive determination by flow injection technique coupled with spectrophotometric and fluorometric detection

A simple, rapid and highly sensitive method for the determination of trace amounts of formaldehyde in air by using flow injection analysis (FIA) system coupled with a three-hole chromatomembrane cell (CMC) was investigated by using a spectrophotometer and a fluorometer. The CMC was applied to on-line collection/concentration of trace amounts of formaldehyde in air into water as an absorbing solution; formaldehyde in the air was found to be quantitatively transferred into the absorbing solution in CMC. The solution, containing absorbed formaldehyde, was introduced into the carrier stream of the FIA system. The amount of formaldehyde in an absorbing solution was measured spectrophotometrically and fluorometrically after the reaction with a mixed reagent of acetylacetone and ammonium acetate at pH 5.6–5.8. The amount of formaldehyde in the absorbing solution, measured by the proposed system, could be converted to the concentration of formaldehyde in the air sample. A calibration graph prepared by a series of standard formaldehyde aqueous solutions was adopted. The formaldehyde in indoor air, determined as exampled by the proposed spectrophotometric FIA, was found to be 5.14 ± 0.08 ppbv for 20 ml of the air sample at the air flow rate of 6 ml min⁻¹, and the relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 1.56%. The limit of detections (LODs) of HCHO in an absorbing solution was 2 × 10⁻⁸ M (0.6 ppb) and 8 × 10⁻⁹ M (0.2 ppb), respectively, by the spectrophotometric and the fluorometric FIA, and the LODs of HCHO in air sample of 40 ml were 0.05 and 0.03 ppbv, respectively. The interferences from foreign species were examined; tolerable concentrations of other aldehydes were more than 50-fold of formaldehyde (1 × 10⁻⁶ M).

A simple and sensitive flow injection method with fluorimetry and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione (dimedone) was developed for the determination of formaldehyde. Formaldehyde reacted with dimedone in the presence of ammonium acetate to form a fluorescence compound, which has an excitation wavelength at 395 nm and an emission wavelength at 463 nm. A two-channel flow system was assembled. Distilled water and 0.3% dimedone buffered at pH 5.5 were delivered at 0.7 ml min⁻¹ and 100 μl of sample was injected into the carrier stream. The reaction was done in the reaction system designed newly, which consists of heating and cooling devices. The chemical reactivity with formaldehyde was excellent in the reaction system and selective. The calibration graphs were linear in the range of 25–100 and 5–10 ppb. RSDs (n=10) for 50 and 10 ppb formaldehyde were 0.6 and 3.4% and the LOD (S/N=3) was 0.9 ppb. The sample throughput was 20 h⁻¹. The method was applied to the determination of formaldehyde in gas sample evolved from adhesive agents and in living environmental indoor. The sensitive and selective method is useful for monitoring trace of formaldehyde in the environmental atmosphere.
