Simple and rapid determination of hydrogen peroxide using phosphine-based fluorescent reagents with sodium tungstate dihydrate.

A simple batch method for the fluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide using phosphine-based fluorescent reagents has been developed. A rapid, mild and selective derivatization reaction was achieved by adding sodium tungstate dihydrate to the reaction mixture of hydrogen peroxide and a phosphine-based fluorescent reagent. When 4-diphenylphosphino-7-methylthio-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole was used as a reagent, the derivatization reaction was completed after 2 min at room temperature. The calibration curve was linear between 12.5 and 500 ng hydrogen peroxide in a 10 microL sample solution. This method is accurate and has potential for on-line applications.     

Determination of H2O2 and organic peroxides by high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column UV irradiation, derivatization and fluorescence detection

A method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide and several organic peroxides by high-performance liquid chromatography with post-column UV irradiation, derivatization and fluorescence detection is described. By means of post-column UV irradiation in the presence of water organic peroxides are converted into hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides, which react rapidly with the post-column derivatization agent p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (PHPAA) under catalysis of horseradish peroxidase to yield the fluorescent PHPAA dimer that is detected at excitation and emission wavelengths of 285 and 400 nm, respectively. The detection limit for hydrogen peroxide is 14 ng/mL, for organic peroxides between 34 ng/mL and 5 μg/mL. No interference by other compounds was observed when their concentrations were below 10 mg/mL except ethers and phenols.

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.

A kinetic fluorometric method for the determination of nucleic acids using a ternary equilibrium system of nucleic acids—iron (III) tetracarboxy phthalocyanine-poly-lysine coupled with the oxidation reaction between hydrogen peroxide and dl-tyrosine

Using the oxidation reaction between hydrogen peroxide and dl-tyrosine as fluorescence indication, the evident tuning effect of nucleic acids on catalytic activity of mimetic enzyme iron (III) tetracarboxy phthalocyanine (FeC₄Pc) in the presence of poly-lysine was observed and studied. The oxidation reaction between hydrogen peroxide and dl-tyrosine with FeC₄Pc as catalyst gave an intensively fluorescent compound, which has an excitation wavelength of 325 nm and an emission wavelength of 418 nm. The fluorescence was quenched by a proper concentration of poly-lysine due to its association with FeC₄Pc and consequently the descent of the catalytic activity of FeC₄Pc, but recovered by addition of nucleic acids. Under optimal conditions, the recovered fluorescence is proportional to the concentration of nucleic acids. Based on the fact, a kinetic fluorescent method was developed for the determination of nucleic acids. The calibration graphs are linear over the range 10-2000 ng/mL both for fish sperm DNA (FS DNA) and calf thymus DNA (CT DNA). The corresponding detection limits are 1.04 ng/mL for FS DNA and 1.18 ng/mL for CT DNA, respectively. Four synthetic and three real nucleic acid samples were determined with satisfactory results.     

Spectrophotometric determination of osmium based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of carminic acid by hydrogen peroxide

A highly sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of trace amounts of osmium(VIII), based on its catalytic effect on the oxidation of carminic acid by hydrogen peroxide. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of carminic acid at 540 nm after 3 min of mixing the reagents. The optimum reaction conditions were 1x10(-4) mol l(-1) carminic acid, 0.013 mol l(-1) hydrogen peroxide and pH 10 at 25 degrees C. By using the recommended procedure, the calibration graph was linear from 0.1 to 1.5 ng ml(-1) of osmium; the detection limit was 0.02 ng ml(-1); the RSD for five replicate determinations of 0.2-1.4 ng ml(-1) was in the range of 1.8-4.7%. The influence of several foreign ions on osmium determination were studied and the effect of interfering ions were removed by extracting osmium into isobuthyl methyl ketone and back extracting into sodium hydroxide solution.     

Luminarin 9: A new fluorescent reagent for the precolumn derivatizatioin of main volatile and non-volatile N-nitrosamines in RP-HPLC

Summary A sensitive precolumn fluorescence derivatization method for low level detection of the, volatile (N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosopyrrolidine) and non-volatile N-nitrosamines (N-nitrosoproline and N-nitrosodiethanolamine) an high-performance liquid chromatography was developed. This method is based on the denitrosation of the compounds of interest by a mixture of hydrobromic acid and acetic acid to produce the corresponding secondary amines. These are, then, able to react with, a quinolizinocoumarin derivative (luminarin 9^®) to form highly fluorescent labelled N-nitrosamine derivatives. The structural elucidation of the luminarin 9^® derivatives of N-nitrosoproline and N-nitrosodimethylamine by way of example, were established by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and by direct chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (CI-MS). The separation, derivatization and detection conditioins were optimized for all the studied compounds. The detection limits (signal to noise ratio=3) were between 0.4 and 1.0 pmol injected depending on the compound. The calibration graphs were linear for derivatized amounts in the range of 0.5–40 nmol for N-nitrosodimethylamine and N-nitrosopyrrolidine, 0.4–2- nmol for N-nitrosoproline and 1.0–40 nmol for N-nitrosodiethanolamine. The repeatability (RSD less than 3.5%, n=6) and reproducibility (RSD less than 4.8%, n-6) were satisfactory.     

Fluorimetric and high-performance liquid chromatographic determination of D-lactate in biological samples

D-Lactate in biological samples was converted into a strongly fluorescent substance in a one-vial reaction. It was first converted into the pyruvate hydrazone in the presence of D-lactate dehydrogenase, an NADH-reoxidation system using diaphorase, D,L-6,8-thioctamide and hydrazine. This hydrazone was then converted into 2-hydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-3-methylquinoxaline by 1,2-diamino-4,5-dimethoxybenzene in 1 M hydrochloric acid, and the quinoxaline was extracted and measured fluorimetrically at 432 nm (excitation at 365 nm). The calibration curve for D-lactate was linear up to at least 100 nmol/ml of the assay mixture, with a determination limit of 2 nmol/ml. The quinoxaline was also analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection. The calibration curve for D-lactate was linear from 500 fmol to 75 nmol in the reaction mixture. This method was 4000 times more sensitive than the fluorimetric method, and could determine D-lactate in blood plasma volumes of less than 1 microliter.     

Application of crude extract of kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) as a rich source of peroxidase in the spectrofluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide in honey samples.

Crude extract of kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea gongylodes) was prepared by a simple procedure and its enzymatic activity and total protein concentration were determined. It was found that this crude extract is a rich source of peroxidase (POx) and has high specific activity. Cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone was used as a stabilizer in the preparation of the crude extract. The POx activity of kohlrabi crude extract did not vary for at least 2 months when deoxygenated and stored at 4 degrees C. This extract was applied for the spectrofluorometric determination of hydrogen peroxide using homovanillic acid as a fluorogenic substrate. POx catalyzes the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of homovanillic acid to produce a dimer which shows strong fluorescence at 420 nm with excitation at 312 nm. In the optimum conditions, the calibration graph for hydrogen peroxide was linear up to 190 ng mL(-1), with a detection limit of 4.4 ng mL(-1). The relative standard deviation (RSD) was 1.48% for 50 ng mL(-1) hydrogen peroxide. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of hydrogen peroxide in honey. The concentration-time profile of H2O2 produced upon dilution of honey was studied and H2O2 contents of some different honeys from various areas of Iran were determined.     

Determination of trace amounts of Pd(II) ions in water and road dust samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry after preconcentration on modified organo nanoclay

This paper describes the application of organo nanoclay, an easily prepared and stable solid sorbent, to the preconcentration of trace amounts of palladium ions in aqueous solution. The organo nanoclay was prepared by adding tetradecyldimethylbenzylamonium chloride onto montmorillonite, which was then modified with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol. The modified nanoclay was used as a solid sorbent for separation and preconcentration of trace amounts of Pd(II) ions, and a simple, sensitive, and economical method was developed for determination of trace amounts of palladium by flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The sorption of Pd(II) ions was quantitative in the pH range of 1.5-5.0, whereas quantitative desorption occurred with 5.0 mL of a mixture containing 1.0 M thiourea and 1.0 M HCl. The RSD of the method was +/- 2.1% (n = 10; concn = 0.5 microg/mL), and the LOD (3sigma(bl); sigma = SD and bl = blank) was 0.1 ng/mL. The calibration curve was linear for concentrations of 0.5-8.0 microg/mL in the initial solution, and the preconcentration factor was 140. The maximum capacity of the sorbent was 2.4 mg Pd(II)/g modified organo nanoclay. The influences of the experimental parameters, including sample pH, eluant volume, eluant type, sample volume, and interfering ions, on the recoveries of the palladium ion were investigated. The proposed method was applied to the preconcentration and determination of palladium in different samples.

Dual derivatization-stir bar sorptive extraction--thermal desorption--gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for determination of 17beta-estradiol in water sample

A novel method for the trace analysis of 17beta-estradiol (E2) in river water sample was developed, which involved stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) with in situ acylation (first derivatization) and thermal desorption (TD) with quartz wool assisted (QWA) in tube silylation (second derivatization), followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and is called the "dual derivatization method." The optimum conditions for SBSE with in situ acylation, such as the volume of acetic acid anhydride and the extraction time, were investigated. In addition, the optimum conditions for TD with QWA in tube silylation, such as the volume of N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) and the TD temperature and hold time, were investigated as well. The detection limit (S/N = 3) and the quantitation limit (S/N>10) of E2 in the river water sample were 0.5 and 2 pg ml(-1) (ppt), respectively, by the dual derivatization method. In addition, the detection limit was 0.1 pg ml(-1) by using dual derivatization method with multi-shot mode. The calibration curve for E2 was linear in the range of 0.002-10 ng ml(-1) with correlation coefficients >0.999. The average recoveries of E2 (n = 6) at the concentrations of 0.05 and 1.0 ng ml(-1) from the river water sample were 93.1 (RSD: 1.4%) and 98.4% (RSD: 0.8%), respectively, with correction using the added surrogate standard, 17beta-estradiol-(13)C(4). This simple, accurate, sensitive and selective analytical method may be applicable to the determination of trace amounts of E2 in water samples.
