CAPSULEThe Desert Environment and Climate Observation Network (DECON) could promote collaborative research on desert dust-storms, boundary-layer and land-atmosphere interactions to better understand the status and role of the Taklimakan desert.
It was found that the complex of cytochrome c (Cyt c) and hydrogen peroxide could significantly catalyze the chemiluminescence (CL) reaction from luminol-hydrogen peroxide, and a sensitive, rapid, and simple CL procedure was proposed for the determination of Cyt c in a flow injection system for the first time. The increment of CL intensity was linear over the concentration of Cyt c ranging from 5 to 700 ng ml(-1), with a detection limit of 2 ng ml(-1) (3sigma). At a flow rate of 2.0 ml min(-1), a complete analytical process could be performed in 30 s with a relative standard deviation of less than 4.0%. The proposed method was applied successfully for the assay of Cyt c in pharmaceutical injections and human serum, and the recoveries were from 98.0% to 108.8% and 92.5% to 109.0%. The possible mechanism of Cyt c enhanced CL reaction was also discussed.
A novel chemiluminescence method for the assay of sudan I was designed using flow injection with chemiluminescence detection. The proposed method was based on the increment effect of sudan I on the chemiluminescence intensity in the luminol–KIO4system. The increment of chemiluminescence intensity was correlated with the sudan I concentration in the range from 0.1 to 10 pg ml−1, and the determination could be performed in 0.5 min in flow rate of 2 ml min−1, including sampling and washing, giving a throughput of 120 h−1with a relative standard deviation of less than 5.0%. The method had been successfully applied to the assay of sudan I in Pixian douban, Golden mark guilin chilli sauce and Golden mark satay sauce, and the recovery was 90.0–103.8%.
BACKGROUND: A sensitive, rapid and simple chemiluminescence procedure, based on the enhancing effect of patulin on the chemiluminescence (CL) reaction between luminol and hydrogen peroxide in a flow injection (FI) system, has been proposed for the determination of patulin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
