Immunoaffinity-based extraction of phenylurea herbicides using mixed antibodies against isoproturon and chlortoluron

Summary The analysis of several phenylurea herbicides in different waters is described using an immunoaffinity column clean-up and determination by high performance liquid chromatography. The pesticides were selectively retained on a solid phase extraction column containing antibodies to chlortoluron and to isoproturon immobilised onto silica. Selected phenylureas were eluted using a simple phosphate buffered saline/ethanol mixture at low pH. The immunoaffinity approach gave extracts free of interfering substances and allowed detection limits comparable to those required for pesticides in water in the European Community. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of chlortoluron, isoproturon, linuron and chlorbromuron in tap and river water.

Simultaneous determination of radionuclides separable into natural decay series by use of time-interval analysis

A delayed coincidence method, time-interval analysis (TIA), has been applied to successive – decay events on the millisecond time-scale. Such decay events are part of the ²²⁰Rn²¹⁶Po (T_1/2 145 ms) (Th-series) and ²¹⁹Rn²¹⁵Po (T_1/2 1.78 ms) (Ac-series). By using TIA in addition to measurement of ²²⁶Ra (U-series) from -spectrometry by liquid scintillation counting (LSC), two natural decay series could be identified and separated. The TIA detection efficiency was improved by using the pulse-shape discrimination technique (PSD) to reject -pulses, by solvent extraction of Ra combined with simple chemical separation, and by purging the scintillation solution with dry N₂ gas. The U- and Th-series together with the Ac-series were determined, respectively, from alpha spectra and TIA carried out immediately after Ra-extraction. Using the ²²¹Fr²¹⁷At (T_1/2 32.3 ms) decay process as a tracer, overall yields were estimated from application of TIA to the ²²⁵Ra (Np-decay series) at the time of maximum growth. The present method has proven useful for simultaneous determination of three radioactive decay series in environmental samples.     

Volume and compressibility changes on mixing aqueous solutions of the amino acid and poly(ethylene glycol)

The volume and compressibility changes on mixing aqueous solutions of the amino acid and poly(ethylene glycol) were measured with a vibration densimeter and a sing-around velocimeter at 298.15 K. For the system of alanine-PEG-H₂O, the additivity rule for the mean apparent molal volume and compressibility at infinite dilution held, and the excess volume and compressibility changes on mixing were obtained. For the system of glycine-PEG-H₂O, the additivity rule for the mean apparent molal compressibility at infinite dilution did not hold. While the mean apparent molal volume and compressibility changes were negative and positive for the systems of another amino acid-PEG-H₂O, respectively, where amino acids were valine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan. These results suggest that glycine and alanine are excluded from the hydration layer around PEG chain and the amino acids with a larger side chain than alanine are bound to the PEG chain due to the hydrophobic interaction. The hydration number per monomer around PEG chain was estimated to be 3.9.     

An experimental method for testing the solvophobic theory by using graphitized carbon black in GC and LC

Summary The net solvent effect for several solute-solvent pairs has been calculated by using the solvophobic approach for describing the liquid chromatographic process. For the same solutes and solvents the net solvent effect has been experimentally measured by using graphitized carbon black columns in GC and HPLC. A comparison between the measured and calculated values made in terms of normalized free energy changes, indicates that the solvophobic theory is fairly adequate for predicting the sequence of solvent strength and provides a comprehensive explanation of the various interactions occurring in reversed-phase LC. A critical discussion of the deviations of the theory from the experimental data is also presented.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Speed of Sound, Isentropic Compressibilities, and Excess Molar Volumes of Binary Mixtures Containing p-Dioxane

The speed of sound u in and densities of eight binary mixtures of p-dioxane (p-C₄H₈O₂) with methylcyclohexane (c-C₆H₁₁CH₃), 1-chlorohexane (C₆H₁₃C1), 1-bromohexane (C₆H₁₃Br), p-xylene [C₆H₄(CH₃)₂], propylbenzene (C₆H₅C₃H₇), methyl acetate CH₃COOCH₃), butyl acetate (CH₃COOC₄H₉), and amyl acetate (CH₃COOC₅H₁₁) were measured over the whole composition range at 30°C. Isentropic compressibilities (K _S), Rao's molar sound functions (R), excess molar volumes (V ^E), excess isentropic compressibilities (K _S ^E ) together with relative change in volume V/₁₂ values, have been obtained for all measured mole fractions. The excess partial molar volume (V₁-V ₁ ⁰ ) of p-dioxane in different solvents have also been estimated. The experimental results have been analyzed in terms of the Prigogine–Flory–Patterson theory of solutions.

Applications of a miniaturized fluorimetric photodiode array detector for capillary liquid chromatography

A high sensitivity, multichannel fluorescence detector with small volume has been developed for capillary column liquid chromatography. Using an intensified linear photodiode array to monitor fluorescence emission, several important mixtures exhibiting native fluorescence have been examined following high efficiency separation on a capillary column. By correlating mass spectral, fluorescence spectral, and retention time data, information of potential utility in the structural elucidation of aromatic molecules contained in complex mixtures can be obtained. Examples include the separation and spectral examination of the polyaromatic compounds in samples of both biological and environmental interest.

Fast simultaneous determination of 23 veterinary drug residues in fish,poultry, and red meat by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

The misuses of veterinary drugs can result in the accumulation of residues in food of animal origin that can make its way to the final consumer. Herein we describe a simple method for the accurate determination of beta-lactams, quinolones, sulphonamides, and tetracyclines in fish, poultry, and red meat. No extraction cartridges were used; instead, the extraction process consisted of the addition of an organic solvents, shaking, centrifugation, and dilution. An extensive validation process demonstrated an excellent linearity (R² ≥ 0.99) for 23-drug residues. The recovery of drugs in different matrices at two concentration levels (n = 6) was in the range of 82–119%. The method was proved to be repeatable and reproducible with intra/inter-day measurements (RSDs lower than 20%). The quantification limits of drug residues were in the range of 0.8 to 45.3 ug/kg, which is well below the maximum residue limits set by most regulatory authorities. This method was successfully applied to the routine analysis of 20 fish, poultry, and red meat samples (n = 60).
