An analytical method for the simultaneous determination of glyphosate (GLY) and its main derivative, aminomethyl-phosphonic acid (AMPA), in human urine has been developed using gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) operated multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM). Sample preparation involved dilution with water derivatization a mixture trifluoroacetic anhydride trifluor...

This paper explains the development of a quick and easy gas chromatography (GC) approach to identify methamphetamine in urine. research used with mass spectroscopy capillary column TG-5SILMS (5% phenyl methyl siloxane, 30 m x 0.32 25 m). The carrier flow rate was set at 1.0 mL/minute, temperature inlet detector had been 300°C, oven programmed initiate 50°C held for 1.5 minutes before being rais...

A fast and simple modified QuEChERS extraction method was developed for determination of Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in 137 traditional (Sangak), semi-industrial (Sangak) and industrial bread samples using spiked calibration curves by GC/MS. Sample preparation includes extraction of BaP into acetone followed by cleanup with dispersive solid phase extraction. The limit of detection and limit of quantif...

sulphide was determined spectrophotometrically at 628 nm and ph 6.7 based on its catalytic reduction of toluidine blue in the presence of se(iv) using a flow injection system. after optimization of the measuring conditions the calibration curve was found linear up to 25 mg/ml and the detection limit was 0.3 mg/ml (30 ml injections). the relative standard deviation for the determination of 10 mg...

A liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection was developed for determination of sodium hyaluronate in pharmaceutical formulation. Sodium hyaluronate is a polymer of disaccharides, composed of d-glucuronic acid and d-N-acetylglucosamine, linked via alternating β-1, 4 and β-1, 3 glycosidic bonds. Being a polymer compound it lacks a UV absorbing chromophore. In the absence of a UV absor...

A simple flow injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrite is described. Nitrite injected into the flow system reacts with thiourea in acidic medium and the generated thiocyanate ion reacts with Fe(III) in the reagent solution to produce a highly colored product. The influences of chemical and physical parameters including reagent concentrations, sample volume injected, ...

A robust flow injection (FI) on-line liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) preconcentration/separation system associated with a newly designed gravitational phase separator, coupled to flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) was developed. The performance of the system was illustrated for cadmium determination at the mugl(-1) level. The non-charged cadmium complex with ammonium pyrrolidine dithioc...

A new, sensitive and robust time-based flow injection (FI) method for on-line preconcentration and determination of ultra trace amounts of chromium(VI) by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) has been elaborated. The sample is initially mixed on-line with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) and the Cr(VI)-PDC chelate is absorbed quantitatively on a mini-column packed with polytet...

The fast and simple method for total chlorine determination in polyglycerols using low resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) without the need for additional equipment and time-consuming sample decomposition was evaluated. Linear calibration curve for 35Cl isotope in the concentration range 20-800 µg/L was observed. Limits of detection and quantification equaled to 15 ...

Abrin and ricin are highly toxic and lethal proteins which have the potential to be used as bioterrorism agents.Labrine and ricinine, molecular biomarkers for abrin and ricin, serve as useful biomarkers in assessing exposure and contamination.In this study, we developed a method for the quantitation of L-abrine and ricinine spiked into four food types: ground beef, chicken breast, hot dogs, and...
