the voltammetric behaviour of sulfadoxine (sdn) was studied at a glassy carbon electrode in 0.2 m phosphate buffer solutions using cyclic, differential-pulse (dpv) and square wave voltammetry (swv). the dependence of the current on ph, concentration, and scan rate was investigated to optimize the experimental conditions for the determination of sdn. the oxidation process was shown to be diffusi...

Veselá H., Šucman E. (2013): Determination of acrylamide in food using adsorption stripping voltammetry. Czech J. Food Sci., 31: 401–406. A new electroanalytical method for the determination of acrylamide in food has been developed. It was found that a complex of acrylamide and Ni2+ is suitable for the electrochemical determination of acrylamide. Ammonia buffer of pH = 9.5 was found to provide ...

The extent of ionization of a drug molecule at different pH values can be characterized by its pKa (acid dissociation constants). It is an important parameter in pharmaceutical development to rationalize the physiochemical and biopharmaceutical properties of the drug molecule. UV titration for pKa determination is one of the popular methods. The success of this method requires the molecule exhi...

Intracellular pH has an important role in the maintenance of the normal functions of yeast cells. The ability of the cell to maintain this pH homeostasis also in response to environmental changes has gained more and more interest in both basic and applied research. In this study we describe a protocol which allows the rapid determination of the intracellular pH of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells...

A novel electroanalytical procedure is proposed for the determination of the triflumizole in formulation, soil and natural water samples using differential pulse polarography (DPP). Triflumizole exhibited a single well-defined cathodic peak over the pH range of 1.0-9.0 in Britton-Robinson (B-R) buffers. The peak potentials were shifted to more negative values upon increasing the pH and a plot o...

The crystallization of proteins is dependent on the careful control of numerous parameters, one of these being pH. The pH of crystallization is generally reported as that of the buffer; however, the true pH has been found to be as many as four pH units away. Measurement of pH with a meter is time-consuming and requires the reformatting of the crystallization solution. To overcome this, a high-t...

A technic is described for the determination of the in vivo pH of red blood cell hemolysates. The meanarterial redcell pH of 20 normalsubjectswas7.19 with a rangeof 7.15 to 7.22. The fiducial probability at the 0.95 levelis 7.13 to 7.25. The mean difference in pH between plasmaandcellswas0.21, with a rangeof 0.15 to 0.23. It is suggested that changesin pH of erythrocytesmay reflect changesin ot...
