Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is an environmental pollutant and recognized as a human carcinogen. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a simple and sensitive detection technique for Cr(VI). Herein, it is found that Cu interacts with guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) to form a homogeneous Cu(II)-GMP complex (Cu·GMP) that efficiently displays the oxidoreductase-like catalytic activity. Cu·GMP can catalyze the oxidation between Cr(VI) and substrate 3,3',5,5'- tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), resulting in color change recognized by the naked eyes. Base on this, a convenient colorimetric assay for Cr(VI) detection was developed. The detection limit (3σ/s) of this sensor for Cr(VI) was 23 nM with a linear range of 0.1-25 μM. Moreover, the proposed assay was successfully applied to detect Cr(VI) in different environmental water samples with satisfactory recoveries. Our method is simple, efficient, rapid and cost-effective for Cr(VI) detection without the need for complicated material preparation or special separation, which shows great potential in environmental monitoring.

A microanalytical technique based on the photothermal effect in conjunction with back-scattering interferometry (BSI) using a single laser beam was developed for quantitative detection of heavy metals. After the chromogenic reaction of an analyte in a capillary tube, the photothermal effect induced by irradiation with the same laser beam leads to a change of the refractive index of the solution, which can be "quantified" using the BSI technique. For prove-of-concept, Cu(II) was chosen as the trial analyte, for which the solution changes to purplish through reacting with the chromogenic reagent; a single laser beam of 532 nm was adapted for both inducing the photothermal effect and realizing BSI detection.

A simple and rapid analytical method was developed for the simultaneous determination of two chromium species, Cr(III) and Cr(VI), in the environmental waters by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ICP-MS). This study incorporated a chelating pretreatment with 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid (PDCA) to convert Cr(III) species into a stable Cr(III)-PDCA anion complex, which was then separated from Cr(VI) oxyanion using an anion exchange column. Building on the fundamental analytical approach proposed by Shigeta .

These protocols describe a detailed method to determine the DNA damage and F-actin and microtubule defects of metaphase II oocytes caused by hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC). The protocol provides systematic steps to determine protein expression encoded by pluripotency proteins such as Oct4, Nanog, and Cdx2 during early embryonic development. Occupational or environmental exposure to EDCs has significantly increased infertility in both men and women.

Heavy metal and nitrogen contaminations are serious concerns in aquatic environments. Marichromatium gracile YL28, a marine purple sulfur bacterium, has shown great potential as a bioremediation agent for removing inorganic nitrogen from marine water. This study further investigated its ability to simultaneously absorb heavy metals, including Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(VI), and remove inorganic nitrogen.

The study focuses on validating reference methods such as ICP-OES and ICP-MS for detecting ultra-trace levels of chromium in groundwater, where concentrations are typically very low. Additionally, it verifies a hyphenated technique, IC-ICP-MS, for determining naturally occurring Cr(VI) in tested waters. The validation process involved various chromium analysis variants, including isotopes Cr and Cr in ICP-MS and IC-ICP-MS techniques, along with specific emission lines in the ICP-OES technique.
