Separation of phthalates by cyclodextrin modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography: Quantitation in perfumes

A new CE method has been developed for the simultaneous separation of a group of parent phthalates. Due to the neutral character of these compounds, the addition of several bile salts as surfactants (sodium cholate (SC), sodium deoxycholate (SDC), sodium taurodeoxycholate (STDC), sodium taurocholate (STC)) to the separation buffer was explored showing the high potential of SDC as pseudostationary phase. However, the resolution of all the phthalates was not achieved when employing only this bile salt as additive, being necessary the addition of neutral cyclodextrins (CD) and organic modifiers to the separation media. The optimized cyclodextrin modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC) method consisted of the employ of a background electrolyte (BGE) containing 25 mM β-CD-100 mM SDC in a 100 mM borate buffer (pH 8.5) with a 10% (v/v) of acetonitrile, employing a voltage of 30 kV and a temperature of 25 °C. This separation medium enabled the total resolution of eight compounds and the partial resolution of two of the analytes, di-n-octyl phthalate (DNOP) and diethyl hexyl phthalate (DEHP) (Rs ~ 0.8), in only 12 min. The analytical characteristics of the developed method were studied showing their suitability for the determination of these compounds in commercial perfumes. In all the analyzed perfumes the most common phthalate was diethyl phthalate (DEP) that appeared in ten of the fifteen analyzed products. Also dimethyl phthalate (DMP), diallyl phthalate (DAP), dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCP), and di-n-pentyl phthalate (DNPP) were found in some of the analyzed samples.

Fluorimetric detector and sensor for flow analysis made of light emitting diodes

Two compact optoelectronic fluorimetric devices operating according to the paired-emitter-detector-diode concept have been developed. The fluorimetric detector, fabricated of three light emitting diodes only, has been applied for the development of fluorimetric optosensor by further integration with sensing solid phase. In these investigations as a model analyte and as a model sensing layer useful for solid phase spectrometry, riboflavin and C18-silica have been chosen, respectively. Both developed analytical devices have been applied for non-stationary fluorimetric measurements performed under conditions of flow injection analysis. The presented flow-through detector and sensor operating under given flow conditions offer riboflavin determination in mg L⁻¹ and μg L⁻¹ ranges of concentration, respectively.     

Determination of ammonium in aqueous samples using new headspace dynamic in-syringe liquid-phase microextraction with in situ derivitazation coupled with liquid chromatography–fluorescence detection

A new simultaneous derivatization and extraction method for the preconcentration of ammonia using new one-step headspace dynamic in-syringe liquid-phase microextraction with in situ derivatization was developed for the trace determination of ammonium in aqueous samples by liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection (LC–FLD). The acceptor phase (as derivatization reagent) containing o-phthaldehyde and sodium sulfite was held within a syringe barrel and immersed in the headspace of sample container. The gaseous ammonia from the alkalized aqueous sample formed a stable isoindole derivative with the acceptor phase inside the syringe barrel through the reciprocated movements of plunger. After derivatization-cum-extraction, the acceptor phase was directly injected into LC–FLD for analysis. Parameters affecting the ammonia evolution and the extraction/derivatization efficiency such as sample matrix, pH, temperature, sampling time, and the composition of derivatization reagent, reaction temperature, and frequency of reciprocated plunger, were studied thoroughly. Results indicated that the maximum extraction efficiency was obtained by using 100 μL derivatization reagent in a 1-mL gastight syringe under 8 reciprocated movements of plunger per min to extract ammonia evolved from a 20 mL alkalized aqueous solution at 70 °C (preheated 4 min) with 380 rpm stirring for 8 min. The detection was linear in the concentration range of 0.625–10 μM with the correlation coefficient of 0.9967 and detection limit of 0.33 μM (5.6 ng mL⁻¹) based on S N⁻¹ = 3. The method was applied successfully to determine ammonium in real water samples without any prior cleanup of the samples, and has been proved to be a simple, sensitive, efficient and cost-effective procedure for trace ammonium determination in aqueous samples.

Design of the Fluoride Ion-Selective Electrode as Tubular Detector for Flow Injection Analysis

ABSTRACT

Design of the fluoride ion-selective electrode (FISE) as the tubular detector used in the flow injection analysis (FIA) has been described. Among other things, this design makes it possible to use various internal contacts. The effect of pH on peak height and detection limit in the pH range from 2.8 to 8.0 has been examined. The effect of flow rate and sample injection volume on peak height and range of linear response has also been examined. The flow rates range from 0.56 mL/min to 4.05 mL/min, while the injection volumes are 100 and 200 μL. The optimum conditions are carrier solution (0.1 M KNO₃ buffer pH 4 and 10^-6 M NaF), flow rate 1.54 mL/min and sample injection volume 100 μL.

Applicability of the FISE as the tubular detector in determination of Fe(III)-ions and AI(III)-ions by flow infection analysis has been examined at pH values of 2.8 and 3.4.     

Method Development and Validation for the Determination of Five Synthetic Food Colorants in Alcoholic Beverages by Reversed‐Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Diode‐Array Detector

Abstract

An accurate method based on the use of reversed‐phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode‐array detection was devised for the determination of five synthetic food colorants added to alcoholic beverages with natural colors. A C18 stationary phase was used and the mobile phase contained methanol and 40 mM ammonium acetate buffer solution. The synthetic food colorants were detected at their corresponding individual characteristic maxima of absorbance wavelength. Successful separation was achieved within 11 min for all the analytes using an optimized gradient elution, column temperature, buffer concentration and flow rate. Accurate sample quantification was feasible using matrix‐matched calibration curves. The method was successfully validated by determination of linearity ranges, the limits of quantification and detection, precision and recovery for all colorants tested. The proposed and validated method was used to analyze some alcoholic beverage samples, consisting of eight red wines, six coolers, four aromatized spirits, five bitters, three cocktails and four liquors from different Chinese manufacturers. The results showed the bitters and red wines did not have synthetic colorants, but colorants were found in all the samples of other kinds of alcoholic beverages. No analyzed sample exceeded the limit established by Chinese legislation.
