The electrochemical reduction of zanosar was investigated systematically by direct current polarography, cyclic voltammetry, and differential pulse polarography (DPP). A simple DPP technique was proposed for the direct quantitative determination of anticancer drug zanosar in pharmaceutical formulation and spiked human urine samples for the first time. The reduction potential was -0.28 V versus ...

A fast and simple modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, rugged and safe) extraction method based on spiked calibration curves and direct sample introduction was developed for determination of Benzo [a] pyrene (BaP) in bread by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry single quadrupole selected ion monitoring (GC/MS-SQ-SIM). Sample preparation includes: extraction of BaP into acetone followed by cl...

In this study, an easy, fast, sensitive and accurate technique has been described for extraction and quantitative analysis of fluoxetine and propafenone using off-line coupling of ionic liquid–based dispersive liquid–liquid micro-extraction with high performance liquid chromatography. The effective extraction variables including: the ionic liquid volume, the type and volume of dispersive solven...

an amoniumvanadate plus sodium molybdate mixed modifier graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometric method has been developed for determination of traces of lead in drinking water. the concentration of lead in the sample is obtained by direct comparison to linear working graph prepared from aqueous standards in the modifier medium, the results indicate the better performance of the propose...

An interlaboratory study funded by the European Commission, Standards, Measurement and Testing Programme (4th Framework Programme) was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of an immunoaffinity column cleanup liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of ochratoxin A in baby food at a possible future European regulatory limit (0.1 ng/g). The test portion is extracted in a blende...

deoxynivalenol contamination was determined in corn produced in golestan and ardabil (moqan) provinces, iran, in 2004-2005. samples were collected from different stages of production, including before harvest, at harvest, post harvest as well as after drying. ground sub samples were extracted with water; each extracted sample was cleaned up through an immunoaffinity column. deoxynivalenol was e...

Oral fluid is currently used by Australian and international law enforcement agencies and employers to detect recent use of cannabis and other drugs of abuse. The main psychoactive constituent of cannabis, Δ(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), is highly lipophilic and losses occur when in contact with plastic, possibly due to its adsorption onto the plastic surface. This study aims to investigate fa...
