background: uranium poses both chemical and radiological hazard to the living system. drinking water from river is one of the major sources of uranium intake. dissolution of minerals, washout from rain water, rock-water interaction, agricultural run off, and industrial disposals are some of the sources of uranium in river water system. present study was aimed to determine the uranium in the wat...

A method is described for the estimation of adrenaline and noradrenaline in a 5 to 10 ml plasma sample.A batch technique of adsorption and elution from alumina is used and the final estimation is carried out using an automated fluorimetric technique based on the trihydroxyindole method. Fluorescence is stabilized first by thioglycollic acid to give noradrenaline concentrations only and then by ...

An uncontrolled used of antibiotics and sulphonamides is responsible for the presence of residues in beehive products and contributes to the problem of food safety. The optimisation of analytical methods for the detection of residues of antibacterial drugs (sulphonamides, SPs; tylosin, TL; streptomycin, ST) in honey was pursued and the methods applied to routine samples. ST was investigated by ...

a simple and sensitive extraction-fluorimetric method for the determination of mercury is reported. the method is based on the quantitative extractionof a ternary crown-mercury-rose bengal complex into chloroform at ph 10 followed by fluorimetric measurements at 580 nm. a linear working range from 0.05 to 2.00 mg/ml is obtained. the relative standard deviation for 1.0 mg/ml mercury is 3.5%. the...

An assessment of the automated fluorimetric technique for the estimation of phenylalanine, using blood collected and stored on filter paper, indicated that its accuracy and precision compared favourably with those of other methods, including the bacteriological inhibition assay. The method appeared to offer advantages, both in the detection of phenylketonuria and for the more accurate determina...

development and optimisation of fast, efficient, quantitative, economic and environmentally friendly analytical extraction techniques for the extraction clean up, and pre-concentration in the quantification of 16 usepa priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) in contaminated soils have been carried out. three different extraction methods (soxhlet, ultra sonication and mechanical shaking...
