Analytes, recovered after

Methods The six analytes were the parent drug (ATV), the active ortho- and para-hydroxy-ATV, and the inactive lactones of each compound. Deuterated (D5) derivatives of each served as internal standards. The analytes, recovered after protein... 

Large (stoichiometric) amounts of analyte are required to manufacture MIPs. This is an important issue if the (analyte) template is expensive, difficult to isolate, or toxic. In principle, the analyte could be recovered after template extraction although this process can also be cumbersome. 

A demonstration of this long-term stability was obtained when a drum of PBO was recovered after 18 years. The manufacturing dale was 1977, A that time, the minimum purity guaranteed for PBO was 88% by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC). The product was reanalysed with a more sensitive analytical method and the new HRGC analysis showed no significant degradation. The relevant analytical data are summarized in Table 4.4. 

Nitrobenzene. Nitrobenzene, of analytical reagent quality, is satisfactory for most purposes. The technical product may contain dinitrobenzene and other impurities, whilst the recovered solvent may be contaminated with aniline. Most of the impurities may be removed by steam distillation after the addition of dilute sulphuric acid the nitrobenzene in the distillate is separated, dried with calcium chloride and distilled. The pure substance has b.p. 210°/760 mm. and m.p. 5 -7°. 

Undissolved substances were removed by filtration and the filtrate was concentrated on a steam bath to a volume of about 125 ml and cooled to effect crystallization. After 20 hours at room temperature the crystals that had formed were recovered, washed with isopropyl alcohol, and dried, yielding 15.61 grams (46.2%) of crystalline 5-[bis(2-hydroxy-ethyl)amino] uracil having a MP of 157° to 163°C. An analytical sample, obtained by several recrystallizations from isopropyl alcohol, melted at 166° to 168°C. 

Ashton and Chan [ 1 ] have reviewed the techniques for the collection of seawater samples preservation, storage, and prevention of contamination are all discussed. The most appropriate measurement techniques, preconcentration and extraction, method validation, and analytical control are all covered. The apparent aluminium content of seawater stored in ordinary containers such as glass and polyethylene bottles decreases gradually, e.g., to half in 2.5 h. But if the samples are acidified with 0.5ml/l concentrated sulfuric acid the aluminium content remains constant for at least one month. Accordingly, samples should be acidified immediately after collection. However, the aluminium could be recovered by acidifying the stored samples and leaving them for at least five hours. 

Relative extraction efficiencies of polar polymeric neutral, cation, and anion exchange sorbents (HLB, MCX, and MAX) for 11 beta antagonists and 6 beta agonists in human whole blood were probed.109 Initial characterization of MCX and MAX for acidic and basic load conditions, respectively, showed that both the agonists and antagonists were well retained on MCX, while they were recovered from MAX in the wash with either methanol or 2% ammonia in methanol (see Table 1.6). Blood samples were treated with ethanol containing 10% zinc sulfate to precipitate proteins and the supernatants loaded in 2% aqueous ammonium hydroxide onto the sorbents. After a 30% methanol and 2% aqueous ammonia wash, the analytes were eluted with methanol (HLB), 2% ammonia in methanol (MCX), or 2% formic acid in methanol (MAX). The best recoveries were observed with MCX under aqueous conditions or blood supernatant (after protein precipitation) spiked sample load conditions (see Table 1.7). Ion suppression studies by post-column infusion showed no suppression for propranolol and terbutaline with MCX, while HLB and MAX exhibited suppression (see Figure 1.6). 

The most frequently used NMR solvents for flavonoid analyses are hexadeuterodimethylsulf-oxide (DMSO-J6) and tetradeuteromethanol (CD3OD). Anthocyanins require the addition of an acid to ensure conversion to the flavylium form. For the analysis of relatively nonpolar flavonoids, solvents such as hexadeuteroacetone (acetone-J6), deuterochloroform (CDCI3), carbontetrachloride (CCI4), and pentadeuteropyridine have found some application. The choice of NMR solvent may depend on the solubility of the analyte, the temperature of the NMR experiments, solvent viscosity, and how easily the flavonoid can be recovered from the solvent after analysis. In recent years, the problem of overlap of solvent signals with key portions of the NMR spectrum has been reduced by solvent suppression and the application of improved 2D and 3D NMR techniques. 

Studies conducted with analytical-grade decaBDE also showed poor absorption of the compound. Twenty-four hours after feeding rats C-dccaBDE most of the radiolabel (82-86%) was recovered in the feces and gut contents (El Dareer et al. 1987). No tissue sampled had more than 0.5% of the administered dose. In general, the highest amounts were found in the liver, and rats fed a lower dose retained more label in the tissues than rats fed a higher dose. The latter suggests that the percent of the dose retained decreases as the amount of decaBDE in the diet increases. 

Extraction discs (0.5 mm thick, 25 to 90 mm diameter) constitute a variation of column-based SPE. These discs allow rapid extraction of large volumes of sample, which is not possible using a small column. The discs are made of bonded-phase silica particles, a few micrometres in diameter, trapped in a porous Teflon or glass fibre matrix. The discs are operated in a similar way to a paper filter on a vacuum flask. After extraction, the analyte is recovered by percolating a solvent through the filter. The major application of this technique is the isolation of trace amounts of compound dispersed in an aqueous medium. 

Application of the MAS to drinking water should considerably broaden the scope of organic compounds detected and measured, relative to previously available analytical methods. This conclusion is especially true for the polar compounds of relatively low MW (<500) however, a few of these compounds are not recovered well by the MAS extraction and isolation techniques or are not gas chromatographable, even after derivatization. HPLC methods offer the most promise for separation and analysis of these compounds as well as those of high molecular weight.
