The first analytical method is presented for the identification and absolute configuration determination of all 24 aldohexose and 2-ketohexose isomers, including the D and L enantiomers for allose, altrose, galactose, glucose, gulose, idose, mannose, talose, fructose, psicose, sorbose, and tagatose. Two unique fixed ligand kinetic method combinations were discovered to create significant enough...

This paper reports on the development of an open-closed configuration for continuous kinetic methods based on photochemical reactions; the configuration removes the need to use special flow cells for simultaneous irradiation and detection. The sample plug was recirculated through a circuit including the detector and a coil irradiated with an ultra-violet source. A multipeak recording per inject...

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) was investigated for the simultaneous determination of letrozole, imipramine and their metabolites in human urine samples over a concentration range of therapeutic interest. Experimental parameters such as pH of the running electrolyte, sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) concentration, borate concentration, voltage, etc were investigated. Under optimal co...

A simple, inexpensive and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the simultaneous determination of three anti-carcinogenic flavonoids: catechin, quercetin and naringenin, in fruit samples. A yellow chelate product was produced in the presence neocuproine and Cu(I) - a reduction product of the reaction between the flavonoids with Cu(II), and this enabled the quantitative m...

A simple and sensitive methodology for the simultaneous determination of levodopa and carbidopa in pharmaceutical samples is described. The method combines the advantages of fluorescence with partial least-squares (PLS) analysis, and requires no previous separation steps. The developed method is based on the oxidation of levodopa and carbidopa by cerium(IV) in a sulfuric acid medium and monitor...

The H-point standard addition method (HPSAM), based on spectrophotometric measurements for simultaneous determination of beryllium and aluminium, is described. This method is based on the difference between their rates of reactions with Chrome Azurol S (CAS) in cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) micellar media. The results showed that beryllium and aluminium could be determined simultaneousl...

In this study, incorporation of iron ion-doped natrolite nanozeolite, multi-wall carbon nanotubes into chitosan-coated glassy carbon electrode for the simultaneous determination of ascorbic acid, epinephrine, uric acid and tyrosine is studied. The results show that the combination of multi-wall carbon nanotubes and iron ion-doped natrolite zeolite causes a dramatic enhancement in the sensitivit...
