Rapid pentachlorophenol evaluation in solid matrixes by second derivative UV spectroscopy for application to wood and leather samples.

Abstract

A method for the quail-quantitative evaluation of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in solid matrixes has been developed. The procedure is based on solid-liquid extraction of solid samples (leather or wood), followed by purification on a cyanopropyl column and determination of the preservative by second derivative UV spectroscopy considering the PCP A peak-through value (304-297 nm). The method allows rapid PCP determination in the concentration range 1-40 micrograms/mL; any matrix interference is avoided by the purification step and recoveries of the preservative were 99.12% (RSD% 0.13) for the leather matrix and 98.03 (RSD% 0.17) for the wood matrix.

Micro-level protein and peptide separations.

The current major limitation in protein micro-structural and -functional studies is our inability to purify and manipulate microgram or smaller quantities of material. Both high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) have been widely used in attempts to address such needs. This review summarizes the current status of preparative and analytical applications for both methods, and suggests which directions the micro-separations field will take within the next few years.

Inorganic and organic phosphate measurements in the nanomolar range.

A procedure, based on the complex formation of malachite green with phosphomolybdate under acidic conditions, to measure inorganic orthophosphate in the nanomolar range is described. The addition of polyvinyl alcohol is required to stabilize the dye-phosphomolybdate complex. The advantages of the assay are simplicity, stability of the reagents, and high sensitivity. Due to the high permissible acidity in the assay (0.9 N H2SO4), the method can be adapted easily to measure nanomolar amounts of phosphate, liberated from organic compounds like phosphoproteins and phospholipids after wet digestion.
