reactions of free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ros) with biological molecules in vivo play an important physiological role in many diseases. 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (dpph) is a stable free radical and often used as a routine reagent to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of an antioxidant. this study was undertaken to investigate the free radical-scavenging and antioxidant activiti...

Recent advances in digestion methods used in the analysis of precious metal samples by spectrometric techniques are reviewed. The applicability of a fire assay, a wet acid treatment, chlorination and alkaline oxidizing fusion to a quantitative recovery of metals from various materials is discussed. Data on the precious metal contents obtained by using particular digestion methods as well as UV-...

4(4-nitrophenyl-zao)-2-(2-methoxy phenimino)-phenol and its coordination compounds with ni(ii), cu(ii), co(ii) and fe(iii) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, ft-ir, far-ir, near ir, uv-vis, mass spectrometry and molar conductivity and their electrochemical behaviours are reported.

Two new classes of dendrimers bearing 8 and 32 fluorene donor groups have been synthesized. The first and second generations of these porphyrin-PAMAM-fluorene dendrimers were characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, FTIR, UV-vis spectroscopy, elemental analyses and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. The UV-vis spectra showed that the individual properties of donor and acceptor moieties were preserved, indic...

− Visible and Near InfraRed (VIS-NIR) spectrometry from 400 to 1100 nm in addition to Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression or Principal Component Regression (PCR) is a very interesting method to measure several important parameters of non-homogenised fresh milk such as fat, lactose and total protein content. These parameters can be used to analyze the nutritional properties of milk and, conse...

4(4-Nitrophenyl-zao)-2-(2-Methoxy phenimino)-phenol and its coordination compounds with Ni(II), Cu(II), Co(II) and Fe(III) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR, Far-IR, Near IR, UV-Vis, mass spectrometry and molar conductivity and their electrochemical behaviours are reported.

This paper evaluates the performance of liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase extraction (SPE) in separating and concentrating aqueous fullerene (nC(60)) from wastewater and compares UV-vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry for the quantification of C(60). LLE was suitable for multiple wastewater matrices, while SPE required filtration or reclaimed wastewater and secondary effluent of...

Native fluorescence, or autofluorescence (AF), consists in the emission of light in the UV-visible, near-IR spectral range when biological substrates are excited with light at suitable wavelength. This is a well-known phenomenon, and the strict relationship of many endogenous fluorophores with morphofunctional properties of the living systems, influencing their AF emission features, offers an e...
