Selenium content of soils is an important issue due to the narrow range between the nutritious requirement and toxic effects upon Se exposure. However, its determination is challenging due to low concentrations within complex matrices that hamper the analysis in most spectroscopic techniques. In this study, we explored the possibilities of several analytical approaches combined with total refle...

Novel dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME), coupled with high performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection (HPLC-DAD) has been applied for the extraction and determination of cyproheptadine (CPH), an antihistamine, in human urine samples. In this method, 0.6 mL of acetonitrile (disperser solvent) containing 30 µL of carbon tetrachloride (extraction solvent) was ...

A new method of dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) combined with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS) was proposed for the determination ultra-trace copper. It based on reaction Cu(II) laboratory-prepared chelating agent 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-dimethylaminoaniline (5-Br-PADMA) in a HAc-NaAc buffer solution at pH 5.0 to form stable hydrophobic chelates, which...

This work describes the development of an HPLC-FLD methodology for separation five fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, sarafloxacin, norfloxacin and levofloxacin) followed by optimization DLLME process clean-up preconcentration enrofloxacin in samples seawater river water. The mobile phase used chromatographic consisted methanol: phosphate buffer (NaHPO4 H2O 0.04 M pH 3 with H3PO4 85...

An efficient, sensitive and fast method was developed based on an ultrasound-assisted extraction followed by an ion-pair dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (USAE-IP-DLLME) for the simultaneous determination of five commonly used synthetic sulfonate dyes (tartarazine, quinoline yellow, sunset yellow, azorubine, and brilliant blue) in ice cream samples using high performance liquid chromato...

A novel, rapid, simple and sensitive dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction method based on the solidification of floating organic drop (DLLME-SFO) combined with high performance liquid chromatography-ultra violet detection (HPLC-UV) was used to determine acrylamide in potato chips. The derivation of the acrylamide happened in the presence of KBr, KBrO3, H2SO4. Based on studies, 1-undecanol w...

Contamination of food producing animals by veterinary drug residues, particularly quinolones, is an essential issue in food safety that causes increasing concern in consumers. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of enrofloxacin and its main metabolite, ciprofloxacin, in chicken tissue samples slaughtered in Tabriz, Iran. Totally 250 samples including liver, muscle, gizzard, ...

In this research, a rapid, reliable and selective dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) followed by direct injection of microdroplet to graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) method for the determination of ultra-trace amounts of Ag(I) was developed. Effect of the important experimental parameters on the extraction efficiency of Ag(I) was investigated using response...
