    The ferrocyanide-templated resin was prepared by the "surface template polymerization method", using ferrocyanide ion as a template, oleylamine as a functional surfactant monomer and divinylbenzene as a matrix-forming monomer. Decyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC; quarternary ammonium salt) was found to be suitable as an auxiliary surfactant, when preparing the templated resin: DTAC stabilized the emulsion and was easily removed from the resin by washing with alkaline solution after the polymerization. The templated resin adsorbed ferrocyanide ions about 2 times as much as the non-templated resin. Although the structure of the complex between ferrocyanide and amino groups on the resin surface remains for further study, we found preparation conditions of the anion-templated resin using oleylamine and DTAC.

    The fluorescent chiral derivatizing agent in the title, (S)-TBMB carboxylic acid, was applied for highly sensitive HPLC analysis of enantiomeric amino acids. Enantiomeric amino acids derivatized with the agent could be separated as the diastereomers on ODS (C-18) column and determined in less than 0.05 picomole amounts owing to the strong fluorescent chromophore of the reagent (Ex=310nm, Em=380nm). Three types of HPLC conditions with different pH values were proposed for the group analysis of amino acids: pH=5.7 for the simultaneous analysis of all amino acids, pH=4.6 for the selective analysis of polar amino acid derivatives and pH=6.0 for that of less polar ones.

    A highly sensitive HPLC method for the determination of acid dinophysis toxins-3 (DTX-3s; 7-O-acyl-35-methylokadaic acids) by labeling 2-(anthracene-2, 3-dicarboximido)ethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (AE-OTf) has been reported. The digestive glands of mussels or scallops were homogenized with 2-propanol, followed by extraction with hexane/ethyl acetate. After evaporation of the solvent, they were labeled with AE-OTf in dry acetonitrile. Then, after cleaning up with a silica-gel short column, the fluorescent derivatives were injected into an HPLC system. In this system, the derivatives were at first separated on a phenylated silicagel column; then, only the target fraction was introduced into a separation column (an ODS column) by a valve device for switching the column. The 7-O-palmitoyl DTX-3 derivative could be determined in the range of 1.4-284fmol (1.5-300pg) on the column. The detection limit was 0.57fmol (0.6pg, S/N=3).

    A proline dipeptide, Leu-Pro, was eluted on a reversed-phase liquid chromatographic column with UV detection. Since this peptide undergoes cis-trans isomerization, various chromatographic profiles were produced. With the column kept at a low temperature, two peaks were produced, corresponding to the cis- and the trans-form. With elevation of column temperature or with increase of retention time, the peak area of the non-isomerized molecules was decreasing while the area corresponding to the isomerized molecules was increasing in a complementary manner. With further temperature elevation or with further retention time increase, only a broad peak of the isomerized molecules was produced. We demonstrate that the isomerization velocity could be estimated from the chromatograms and that the peak height of the isomerized molecules was proportional to the square root of retention time. Three other X-Pro dipeptides (Ala-Pro, Val- Pro, Phe-Pro) showed similar chromatographic behavior that was characteristic for reversible isomerization between two forms.

    A specific enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for ursodeoxycholic acid 7-N acetylglucosaminides (UDCA-7-NAGs), novel metabolites of ursodeoxycholic acid, has been developed. The EIA was based upon antisera elicited against the glycine conjugated UDCA-7-NAG-bovine serum albumin conjugate and horseradish peroxidase-labeled-UDCA-7-NAG. The sensitivity was significantly improved by the utilization of the bridge heterologous combination system. An appropriate dose response curve of EIA for glycine conjugated UDCA-7-NAG was obtained in the range of 0.3-6ng/tube. The specificity of ETA proved to be satisfactory in terms of cross-reactivities to related bile acids. The proposed method is useful for the determination of UDCA-7-NAGs in human urine with acceptable reliability.

    Interactions between proteins and bile-salt micelles were evaluated on the basis of the binding constants, which were obtained from the migration of proteins in micellar electrokinetic chromatography. The binding constants, Kb=[Pb]/ ([Pw][B]), where [Pb] is the concentration of a protein binding with a bile-salt, [Pw] free protein concentration, and [B] the concentration of bile salt present in the micelles, were successfully determined from the slope of a linear curve of the capacity factor (k′) of the protein against [B]. The binding constants were almost identical to those obtained by a gel- filtration method. The value of Kb increased with increasing the hydrophobicity of the bile salt or that of the protein.

    A simple, sensitive and separative method for the photometric determination of inorganic anions was developed on the basis of suppressed electroosmosis by using a common silica capillary and a simple migrating solution. During the analysis of analyte anions by capillary zone electrophoresis, electroosmotic flow in a silica capillary was suppressed by using low-pH migrating solutions containing sodium sulfate. The stacking effect of sulfate ion was utilized for analyte concentration. Four kinds of inorganic analyte anions examined were detected in sharp signals, and the separation of a nitrate and a nitrite ion was improved by using the low-pH migrating solution with no decrease in detection sensitivity. Calibration graphs for nitrate and nitrite ions showed good linearity in the concentration ranges from about 10-5 to 10-4mol dm-3, with the detection limit for nitrate ion 4×10-6mol dm-3. Separations of organic anions, such as aromatic sulfonate and carboxylate ions, were also examined; many of them were well separated by the proposed migrating solution. Those organic anions did not interfere with the determination of the inorganic anions.

    Electroconcentration can be performed using a very simple apparatus and a simple operational procedure. The apparatus is composed of one tube, two electrodes and a power supply. The total sample solution employed for electroconcentration was just 25-40μl. After a tube of silicone rubber (i.d. 1mm, 30-50mm long) was filled with a sample solution, an electric voltage was applied along the tube, and a charged solute was forced to migrate to the end of the tube. With an application of 200-400V for only 2-4min, the concentration of the solute was enhanced up to 10 times. In the present electroconcentration, the sample is concentrated in a few microliters. Electroconcentration by electrode transfer is also proposed.

    Reaction intermediates of CO2-photofixation using [Re(bpy)(CO)3PPh3]+(bpy=2, 2′-bipyridine) have been studied by electrospray mass spectrometry. A triethanolamine (TEOA) complex, [Re(bpy)(CO)3(TEOA)]+, was detected for the first time as a key intermediate. Electrospray mass spectrometry was found quite useful for detecting and identifying unstable photoreaction intermediates of rhenium complexes.

    The addition of a small amount of H2 into Ar considerably decreased the signal intensity for a sintered zirconium oxide (ZrO2) sample when the discharge was operated at an rf power less than 100W, while it increased the ion intensity of the analyte for a brass sample. Although the sputtering rate of the ZrO2 sample varied with the concentration of added H2, no apparent correlation between the sputtering rate and the ion intensity was observed. When the discharge was operated at 200W, the addition of H2 significantly increased the ion intensity for the ZrO2 sample. For a sintered silicon carbide (SiC) sample, a similar behavior of the ion signals was observed, though they changed from suppression to enhancement at an rf power lower than that for a ZrO2 sample. This was probably due to the higher electric conductivity of SiC compared to that of ZrO2. When He was added into Ar, the analyte-ion intensity varied similarly to the case of H2. An increase in the ion intensity was also observed when N2 or O2 was added at a concentration range of 10-20wt% in Ar, although the behavior was observed for a discharge operated at a relatively high rf power of 200W.

    The effects of film thickness and enzyme concentration in the electrodeposition solution on the analytical performance of polypyrrole/glucose oxidase (PPy/GOD) biosensor were investigated. The optimum film thickness which maximizes the catalytic current of the electrode was observed at a given enzyme concentration, and this optimum thickness moved down to a thinner region with increasing concentration of enzyme. On the basis of the above results, the conditions for electrochemical deposition of the polypyrrole films were optimized. Theoretical analyses were conducted to elucidate the experimental results. The effect of electrodeposition conditions on the analytical performance of the PPy/GOD biosensor was evaluated in terms of response characteristics, sensitivity, and operational stability.

    A non-destructive multi-element determination using a cold neutron-induced prompt γ-ray analysis (PGA) has been investigated. The elements H, C, N, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, K, Ca, Ti, Mn, Fe, Co, Cd, Sm, Gd and Hg were determined by a comparative standardization using the cold neutron guided beams of JRR-3M (upgraded Japan Research Reactor No. 3). To accurately determine the amounts of elements, possible interferences by other elements and background counts were examined and evaluated. Many elements in several reference materials, such as geological, environmental, and biological samples, coal and fuel oil, were determined, and the accuracy and precision of a multi-element determination were estimated. Toxic elements as, such Cd and Hg, at μg/g levels were accurately determined in environmental samples. The detection ma limits in various trices were from 25 to 820ng/g for Cd, Sm and Gd, 1.1 to 820μg/g for H, Na, S, Cl, K, Ti, Mn, Co and Hg, and 0.031 to 10% for C, N, Mg, Al, Si, P, Ca and Fe.

    The infrared absorptivities of nitric acid ices formed from vapors containing water and nitric acid were investigated by means of a Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer operated at a wavelength resolution of 1.0cm-1 (triangular apodization). The solid films were prepared on the surface of a gold-coated, polished copper plate at a temperature of 153 K to 198 K. After collecting the infrared spectra, the substrates were vaporized and condensed into a U-tube for quantitative analyses of H2O and HNO3 using a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Amorphous forms of nitric acid ices and four crystalline hydrates (nitric acid monohydrate (NAM), nitric acid dihydrate (NAD), and nitric acid trihydrate (both α-NAT and β-NAT forms)) were identified and their infrared absorptivities measured. The infrared spectra were interpreted in terms of the known spectra of oxonium and nitrate ions. Possible implications for remote sensing and the analysis of polar stratospheric clouds using these infrared spectra are discussed.

    Hydride generated in a mixing coil was separated in a gas-liquid separator which was closed with an electromagnetic pinch valve and then swept continuously into the torch of a high-resolution inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer. The system was operated with variable speed-peristaltic pumps by manipulating electromagnetic relays and a timer. Water vapor in the hydride gas was removed by inserting a glass trap immersed in an ice bath. Interference with transition matals was eliminated by using Chelex 100 resin. The detection limits (3 times the signal-to-noise ratio) of arsenic and selenium are 0.03 and 0.06ng/ml, respectively, at a resolution of 10000. The accuracies checked with biological standard reference materials obtained from the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST), USA, and the National Research Council (NRC), Canada, were within the certified values. The arsenic and selenium contents in river water were determined by the present method.

    A mixture of nickel and strontium nitrates has been proved to be suitable and feasible for the determination of selenium in urine by graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry with respect to the thermal stabilization and minimization of urine matrix interferences. Thermal pretreatment temperature of 1400°C and 900°C can be utilized in aqueous standard solution and 1:3 diluted urine with the proposed modifier, respectively. The results demonstrate that nickel and strontium nitrate mixed modifier can significantly remove or depress troublesome interference caused by sulfate, phosphate and concomitant metal ions. The graphite furnace temperature program and modifier mass have been optimized. The amount of mixed modifier required for stabilizing selenium and suppressing the effect of urine matrix is markedly lower than those documented in the literature, which reduces the risk of graphite furnace contamination. The effects of different atomizer surfaces on the selenium sensitivity were compared in this work. Better recoveries were obtained for different urine samples in the presence of nickel and strontium nitrates.

    A procedure has been developed for the speciation of aluminum in urine samples of four normal subjects fed required diet on two dates. Three fractions of aluminum species, i.e., labile monomeric ions, non-labile monomeric ions along with labile complexes, and non-labile complexes were classified and determined by the combination of ion-exchange (IE), fluorometric spectrometry and graphite-furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS) techniques. The results showed that the aluminum in urine was mainly in non-labile complex forms.

    A room-temperature phosphorescence method for the determination of the pesticide carbaryl is described. The proposed method is based on the formation of a microemulsion obtained by mixing an apolar solvent with the surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate as the micellar medium in the presence of thallium nitrate as the external heavy atom salt. To avoid the oxygen quenching, a sodium sulfite solution was used. A complete and exhaustive statistical analysis of experimental data by a multivariate optimization approach was performed to establish the optimum experimental variables. Good results have been obtained when the insecticide have been analyzed in synthetic and real samples.
