Abstract

Although pH is probably one of the most common laboratory measurements, it often is one of the most troublesome. Frequently the trouble arises because of improper care of the electrodes. Considered here are several common problems and suggestions for solving or avoiding them.

A study of the effect of magnetized water on enzyme activities by potentiometric enzyme electrode method.

A very promising glutamate decarboxylase electrode, which has linear response range of 5.6 x 10(-5)-1.2 x 10(-2) mol/L. Nernstian slope of 50 mV/decade, detection limit of 3.2 x 10(-5) mol/L and response time less than 3 min, has been designed to observe and evaluate quantitatively the effect of magnetized water on enzyme activities by potentiometric enzyme electrode method. It was found that the activity of glutamate decarboxylase can increase by 30% in magnetized water. The mechanism of increased enzyme activity was discussed in the present paper. Such a new finding will probably lead to some new explanations for the physiological and biological mechanism of the effect of magnetized water on living organisms, thus providing a new approach to the study of the effect of magnetized water.

Determination of mitoxantrone by flow injection analysis using an amperometric detector.

Mitoxantrone was determined by flow injection analysis using a flow cell modified in the laboratory and fitted with carbon paste as an amperometric detector. The sample solution (100 microliters, 5 x 10(-8)-1 x 10(-5) M) was injected into the carrier stream of 0.1 M perchloric acid (pH 1.12). Mitoxantrone was determined by oxidation at the carbon paste electrode (CPE) at +0.90 V. A 60-cm delay coil (0.5 mm i.d.) was incorporated just before the detector (a canal thin layer) and a flow rate of about 4 ml min-1 was used. The system was successfully applied to the determination of mitoxantrone in a pharmaceutical preparation; the method was fast and reproducible.
