Voltammetric determination of cocaine in confiscated samples using a carbon paste electrode modified with different [UO2(X-MeOsalen)(H2O)] · H2O complexes.

A fast and non-destructive voltammetric method to detect cocaine in confiscated samples based on carbon paste electrode modified with methoxy-substituted N,N'-ethylene-bis(salcylideneiminato)uranyl(VI)complexes, [UO2(X-MeOSalen)(H2O)] · H2O, where X corresponds to the positions 3, 4 or 5 of the methoxy group on the aromatic ring, is described. The electrochemical behavior of the modified electrode and the electrochemical detection of cocaine were investigated using cyclic voltammetry. Using 0.

Voltammetric determination of cocaine in confiscated samples using a cobalt hexacyanoferrate film-modified electrode.

In this work, a fast, non destructive voltammetric method for cocaine detection in acetonitrile medium using a platinum disk electrode chemically modified with cobalt-hexacyanoferrate (CoHCFe) film is described. The deposition of CoHCFe film at platinum disk (working electrode) was carried out in aqueous solution containing NaClO(4) at 0.1 mol L(-1) as supporting electrolite.

Surface density as a significant parameter for the enzymatic activity of two forms of alkaline phosphatase immobilized on phospholipid Langmuir-Blodgett films.

Rat osseous plate alkaline phosphatase, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored phosphomonohydrolase, was immobilized on Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films. Enzyme solubilization either with polyoxyethylene-9-lauryl ether or with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C resulted in a GPI-anchor-containing and a GPI-anchor-depleted form, respectively. Both forms were adsorbed on dimyristoylphosphatidic acid LB films and restricted to the outermost layer.
