Heavy metal analysis

In heavy-metal analysis of the same pigments, metals found were present in only trace amounts. The data Hsted place the products tested in the category of nontoxic materials. The Radiant Color Co. has conducted toxicity tests on its own products similar to the A-Series and has found them to be nontoxic. Heavy metals were found only in trace amounts in these tests. 

The possible use of graphite-epoxy material by screen-printing technology opens the possibility of mass production of disposable sensors for heavy-metal analysis using stripping techniques. The utilization of these sensors for an extensive application in real heavy-metal samples is underway in our laboratories.

In heavy metal analysis of all types of Day-Glo fluorescent pigments for plastics, metals were found to be present in only trace amounts (Table 16.7). The values are given in ppm of total metal present, and may vary between colors within a series. 

An examination of the literature,10,21-24 authoritative guidances,6-9 and current industrial best practices, suggests that the analytical techniques in Table 1 be considered for the characterization of reference standards. Other techniques are occasionally employed but are not discussed here. These may include particle size analysis,25 nephelometry, heavy metals analysis,26 surface area,27 bulk density,28 pH,29 dissociation constants, microbiological testing30 and other spectroscopic measurements (e.g., NIR, fluorescence, CD, etc.).

The method of anion exchange chromatography for heavy metal analysis may also be applied to ion-pair chromatography. With oxalic acid as the complexing agent and tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as the ion-pair reagent, an elution order opposite to cation analysis is obtained.

Enzyme inhibition sensors are the most commonly reported enzyme-based biosensors for the detection of toxic compounds and heavy metal ions. The sensors are based on the selective inhibition of specific enzymes by classes of compounds or by the more general inhibition of enzyme activity. Most of the research carried out has been directed toward the detection of organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides and the triazine herbicides and metal ions analysis [72,73]. Several enzymes have been used in inhibition sensors for pesticides and heavy metal analysis using water, soil, and food samples including choline esterase, horseradish peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, urease, and aldehyde dehydrogenase. 

Since the past decade, different types of sensors and biosensors based on SPE have been prepared in our laboratory, such as a choline sensor with choline oxidase immobilized on the surface of a ruthenized-carbon screen-printed electrode as part of a system for pesticide detection [25], a screen-printed ruthenium dioxide electrode for pFI measurements [26], carbon-modified electrodes with mercury for heavy metals analysis [27], and two kinds of disposable electrochemical DNA biosensors for environmental screening [8-10,15,28,29].

No. 273 and No. 301 are the specification for plastics used in medical practice, in Japan. These testing items consist of extraction test, heavy metal analysis, acute toxicity test, hemolysis test and pyrogen test. All the results of the examination passed the regulations and indicate that the 1, 2-PBD is safe enough to be used as a plastic packaging for foods. In the case of acute toxicity, the number of deaths of the mice was zero. Further, it is assumed that the 1, 2-PBD has the possibi-bility to be applied to the medical plastics field.
