چکیده
A modified and highly sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of nitrate in trace quantities in environmental samples is described. The method is based on the reaction of nitrate ion with brucine and 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone hydrochloride (MBTH) in sulfuric acid medium to yield a violet-colored product which is stable for over two days. The optimum photometric range for the determination of nitrate is 0.04-0.16 microg cm(-3) and the Sandell's sensitivity being 0.000279 microg cm(-2). The proposed method is applied to various water samples and the results indicate that the reaction is highly sensitive than the original brucine method.

A catalytic spectrophotometric method for the determination of traces of copper(II) is proposed. 3-Methyl-2-benzothiazolinone hydrazone (MBTH) is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to form a yellowish-brown compound. The reaction is accelerated by trace amounts of copper(II), and can be followed by measuring the increase in the absorbance at 390 nm. Since the absorbance at 40 min from the reaction s...

A colorimetic assay for lipoxygenase activity has been developed. The assay is based on the detection of the lipoxygenase reaction product, linoleic acid hydroperoxide, by the oxidative coupling of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone (MBTH) with 3-(dimethylamino)benzoic acid (DMAB) in a hemoglobin-catalyzed reaction. This test reaction is rapid and sensitive, and it offers advantages over other method...
