Abstract:
... A rapid, sensitive and robust method for determining the chemical warfare agents Lewisites and their hydrolysis products in aqueous and multiphase sample matrices has been developed as an extension of the previous work (Terzic, 2010 [32]).

Abstract:
... Acetone plays an important role in the chemistry of both the atmosphere and the ocean, due to its potential effect on the tropospheric HOx (= HO + HO₂) budget, as well as its environmental and health effects. We discuss the development of a mobile, sensitive, selective, economical and facile method for the determination of acetone in seawater. The method consists of derivatizing acetone to its pen ...
... Endogenous nature of GHB represents a critical issue for forensic toxicologists, especially in alleged sexual assaults. Therefore, discrimination between physiologically and additional amounts from exogenous sources of such a substance must be effective and reliable in order to avoid severe misinterpretation. This study aimed to quantify the GHB baseline concentrations in chest and pubic hairs col ...
... A reversed-phase, high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method that allows quantitation of low levels of epoxides has been described. The method involved derivatization of epoxides using 100- to 1,000-fold excess N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC) at 60 °C for 20 min at neutral pH. The unreacted DTC was then decomposed to CS₂ and diethyl amine by acidification of the reaction mixture to p ...

... Histamine level determination in fish and fish products is important for human safety, fish quality and food industry. For this reason, a rapid, robust, and precise method is needed. To achieve this objective, an HPLC method with fluorescence detection was developed and validated. Histamine in fish samples was efficiently extracted with perchloric acid, and purified with ion-exchange solid-phase e ...
... Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are gut microbiota metabolites recognized for their beneficial effects on the host organism. In this study, a simple and rapid sample preparation method combined to SCFAs analysis by direct injection and gas chromatography coupled with flame ionization detection (GC-FID), for the determination and quantification of eight SCFAs (acetic, propionic, i-butyric, butyric, ...
... An analytical method based on a modified QuPPe (quick polar pesticide) extraction procedure coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was evaluated for the determination of four polar compounds (chlorate, fosetyl-Al, maleic hydrazide, and perchlorate) in nutraceutical products obtained from soy. Experimental conditions including extraction such as solvent, acidificatio ...
... Bioanalytical relevance of glyoxal (Go) and methylglyoxal (MGo) arises from their role as biomarkers of glycation processes and oxidative stress. The third compound of interest in this work is diacetyl (DMGo), a component of different food products and alcoholic beverages and one of the small α-ketoaldehydes previously reported in urine. The original idea for the determination of the above compoun ...
... This paper describes the determination of carbamazepine (CBZ) in human plasma using ion chromatography combined with online electrochemical derivatization and fluorescence detection. Separation of CBZ with anion exchange column was demonstrated to be feasible using either basic (10mM NaOH) or acidic (0.1 M H₃PO₄) reagent with a small amount of acetonitrile (ACN) added as eluent. Electrochemical de ...

... Spontaneous cereal fermentations involve diverse lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeasts which may include multifunctional and safe or unsafe strains. This study assessed acidification ability, safety, antifungal activity and free amino acids release ability of LAB and yeasts previously isolated from spontaneously fermented cereal doughs in Benin. Fourteen LAB and thirteen yeast strains were studied ...
... Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play key roles in maintaining health and treating disease. Quantification of important fecal SCFAs is necessary to facilitate the clarification of their biological roles. However, the existing quantifying methods mainly depend on complicated precolumn derivatization, and/or are unable to determine formic acid, a SCFA commonly associated with toxicity. In this study, ...
... We describe preparation and use of the quaternary ammonium-based α-iodoacetamide QDE and its isotopologue *QDE as reagents for chemoselective derivatization of cellular thiols. Direct addition of the reagents to live cells followed by adduct extraction into n-butanol and analysis by FT-ICR-MS provided a registry of matched isotope peaks from which molecular formulae of thiol metabolites were deriv ...

... In order to analyze amino acids sensitively without derivatization, we have developed carrier-mediated single drop microextraction (SDME). Nonane-1-sulfonic acid was added to an acidic sample donor solution as a carrier to form neutral ion pair complexes with amino acids. The ion pair complexes were extracted to the organic phase, covering a drop of an aqueous basic acceptor phase hanging at the t ...
... The reliable quantification of carbidopa in biological samples at low concentrations is challenging because of the polar and highly unstable nature of the compound. In this paper, LC–MS/MS methods are described for the determination of carbidopa in 50μL of human plasma and 25μL of human urine in the concentration ranges 1–1,000ng/mL and 100–50,000ng/mL, respectively. After a simple protein precipi ...
... Zofenoprilat is an active metabolite of zofenopril, which is very unstable in plasma because of oxidative degradation of its thiol group. In this method, p-bromophenacyl bromide was used as derivatization reagent, immediately after plasma separation, to react with the free thiol group of zofenoprilat and form the derivative zofenoprilat-p-BPB. After acidification with 50% acetic acid, the derivati ...
