Pengaruh Modifikasi Elektroda Spce dengan BI (III) pada Penentuan Cd2+dan Pb2+secara Stripping Voltammetry

Stripping voltammetri merupakan metode elektroanalitik yang dapat digunakan pada penentuan campuran logam Cd2+ dan Pb2+ tanpa dilakukan pemisahan.Pada penelitian ini digunakan metode stripping voltammetry berbasis Screen Printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE) yang dilapisi oleh bismut dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan sensitifitas terhadap analit. Konsentrrasi Cd2+ dan Pb2+ yang digunakan 50 ppb dengan potensial deposisi -1,2 V dan potensial scan -1,4 V sampai 0,4 V. Konsentrasi bismut yang digunakan untuk melapisi SPCE yaitu 1 ppm dan 100 ppm. Modifikasi yang baik yaitu dengan menggunakan SPCE yang dilapisi bismut 1 ppm. Pada penentuan Cd2+ dan Pb2+ dalam campuran, baik Cd2+ maupun Pb2+ akan saling mempengaruhi terhadap arus puncak dan potensial puncak yang dihasilkan. Komposisi Cd2+ tanpa Pb2+menghasilkan batas deteksi baik yaitu 15,17ppb dengan kepekaan 0,163 mA/ppb, komposisi Pb2+ dengan 50 ppb Cd2+ juga memberikan hasil batas deteksi yang baik yaitu 6,38 ppb dengan kepekaan 0,076 mA/ppb

Dipsticks with Reflectometric Readout of an NIR Dye for Determination of Biogenic Amines

Electrospun nanofibers (ENFs) are remarkable analytical tools for quantitative analysis since they are inexpensive, easily produced in uniform homogenous mats, and provide a high surface area-to-volume ratio. Taking advantage of these characteristics, a near-infrared (NIR)-dye was doped as chemosensor into ENFs of about 500 nm in diameter electrospun into 50 mu m thick mats on indium tin oxide (ITO) supports. The mats were made of cellulose acetate (CA) and used as a sensor layer on optical dipsticks for the determination of biogenic amines (BAs) in food. The ENFs contained the chromogenic amine-reactive chameleon dye S0378 which is green and turns blue upon formation of a dye-BA conjugate. This S(N)1-reaction of the S0378 dye with various BAs was monitored by reflectance measurements at 635 nm where the intrinsic absorption of biological material is low. The difference of the reflectance before and after the reaction is proportional to BA levels from 0.04-1 mM. The LODs are in the range from 0.03-0.09 mM, concentrations that can induce food poisoning but are not recognized by the human nose. The calibration plots of histamine, putrescine, spermidine, and tyramine are very similar and suggesting the use of the dipsticks to monitor the total sample BA content. Furthermore, the dipsticks are selective to primary amines (both mono- and diamines) and show low interference towards most nucleophiles. A minute interference of proteins in real samples can be overcome by appropriate sample pretreatment. Hence, the ageing of seafood samples could be monitored via their total BA content which rose up to 21.7 +/- 3.2 mu mol/g over six days of storage. This demonstrates that optically doped NFs represent viable sensor and transducer materials for food analysis with dipsticks

Functional electrospun nanofibers for multimodal sensitive detection of biogenic amines in food via a simple dipstick assay

Electrospun nanofibers (ENFs) are promising materials for rapid diagnostic tests like lateral flow assays and dipsticks because they offer an immense surface area while excluding minimal volume, a variety of functional surface groups, and can entrap functional additives within their interior. Here, we show that ENFs on sample pads are superior in comparison to standard polymer membranes for the optical detection of biogenic amines (BAs) in food using a dipstick format. Specifically, cellulose acetate (CA) fibers doped with 2 mg/mL of the chromogenic and fluorogenic amine-reactive chameleon dye Py-1 were electrospun into uniform anionic mats. Those extract cationic BAs from real samples and Py-1 transduces BA concentrations into a change of color, reflectance, and fluorescence. Dropping a BA sample onto the nanofiber mat converts the weakly fluorescent pyrylium dye Py-1 into a strongly red emitting pyridinium dye. For the first time, a simple UV lamp excites fluorescence and a digital camera acts as detector. The intensity ratio of the red to the blue channel of the digital image is dependent on the concentration of most relevant BAs indicating food spoilage from 10 to 250 mu M. This matches the permitted limits for BAs in foods and no false positive signals arise from secondary and tertiary amines. BA detection in seafood samples was also demonstrated successfully. The nanofiber mat dipsticks were up to sixfold more sensitive than those using a polymer membrane with the same dye embedded. Hence, nanofiber-based tests are not only superior to polymer-based dipstick assays, but will also improve the performance of established tests related to food safety, medical diagnostics, and environmental testing
