Aprendizaje de procesos analíticos mediante clases prácticas con laboratorios virtuales

Este trabajo forma parte de un proyecto de innovación docente financiado por la Universidad de Granada durante el curso 2008-09 y pretende que el alumnado del Departamento de Química Analítica de los primeros cursos de Química, Ingeniería Química, Ciencias Ambientales y Farmacia sea capaz de interrelacionar los aspectos teóricos y prácticos de diversos procesos analíticos mediante el uso de laboratorios virtuales en las sesiones prácticas. Con este fin, las clases prácticas son planificadas y diseñadas para implementar laboratorios virtuales de algunos procesos analíticos básicos, de modo que el alumnado pueda realizar cada trabajo práctico como en el laboratorio real, pero al mismo tiempo relacione las distintas etapas con los fundamentos teóricos en los que se sustentan y con los distintos aspectos numéricos que derivan de ellas

Chemiluminescence of the Reaction System Ce(IV) - Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs Containing Europium(III) Ions and its Application to the Determination of Naproxen in Pharmaceutical Preparations and Urine

The chemiluminescence (CL) of oxidation of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by Ce(IV) ions, was recorded in the presence and absence europium(III) ions, in solution of pH ~ 4 of solution. Kinetic curves and CL emission spectra of the all studied systems were discussed. CL of measurable intensity was observed in the Ce(IV)–NP–Eu(III) reaction system only in acidic solutions. The CL spectrum rcegistered for this system shows emission bands, typical of Eu(III) ions, with maximum at λ ~ 600 nm. The chemiluminescent method, based on Eu(III) emission in reaction system of NP-Ce(IV)–Eu(III) in acid solution was therefore used for the determination of naproxen in mixture of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

Selective determination of ubiquinone in human plasma by HPLC with chemiluminescence reaction based on the redox cycle of quinone.

Ubiquinone is an important biologically active compound in the living body. The determination of ubiquinone in human plasma is useful for the investigation of bioavailability of ubiquinone and for early diagnosis of several diseases. Therefore, we developed a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with chemiluminescence detection method for the analysis of ubiquinone in plasma samples. The method is based on luminol chemiluminescence detection of super oxide anion that is generated by the redox cycle reaction between ubiquinone and dithiothreitol. The HPLC system involved an octyl column with a mobile phase of methanol. Ubiquinone eluted from the column was mixed with dithiothreitol and luminol solutions simultaneously, and generated chemiluminescence was monitored by chemiluminescence detector. The calibration curve for standard ubiquinone solution was linear from 0.09 to 43.2 μg/mL (0.45-216 ng on column) with the correlation coefficient of 0.999, and the detection limit (S/N = 3) was 26 ng/mL (130 pg on column). Using the proposed HPLC method, the peak of ubiquinone in human plasma could be clearly detected on the chromatogram without any interference from plasma components

A novel chemiluminescence assay of organophosphorous pesticide quinalphos residue in vegetable with luminol detection

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Organophosphorous pesticides are the most popular pesticides used in agriculture. As acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, organophosphorous pesticides are toxic organic chemicals. The control and detection of organophosphorous pesticide residue in food, water, and environment therefore plays a very important role in maintaining physical health. A sensitive, rapid, simple chemiluminescence(CL) method has been developed for the determination of quinalphos based on the reaction of quinalphos with luminol-H₂O₂in an alkaline medium. The method has been applied to detection of quinalphos in vegetable samples with satisfactory results.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The CL method for the determination of organophosphorous pesticide quinalphos is based on the phenomenon that quinalphos can apparently enhance the CL intensity of the luminol-H₂O₂system. The optimal conditions were: luminol concentration 5.0 × 10^-4mol/L, H₂O₂concentration 0.05 mol/L.pH value 13. In order to restrain the interference from metal ions, 1.0 × 10^-3mol/L of EDTA was added to the luminol solution. The possible mechanism was proposed.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Under the optimum reaction conditions, CL was linear with the concentration of quinalphos in the range of 0.02 μg/mL -1.0 μg/mL and the detection limit was 0.0055 μg/mL (3σ). This method has been successfully applied to the detection of quinalphos in vegetable samples. According to the experimental data, the average recoveries for quinalphos in cherry tomato and green pepper 97.20% and 90.13%. Meanwhile, the possible mechanism was proposed.</p
