When the concentration of surfactants is higher than a certain value, the monomers adhere to form well-defined aggregates known as micelles. These micelles have been employed in flow injection analysis (FIA) for various purposes. In chemiluminescence-based FIA, micelles can improve sensitivity by changing the chemical structures of the reagents, facilitating intramicellar energy transfer, accelerating the reaction kinetics, or stabilizing the excited singlet states. Micelles can improve sensitivity in FIA/ultraviolet-visible by electrostatic or solubilization effects. In FIA/fluorescence, emission intensity is considerably enhanced in micellar media due to the protective environment that restricts nonemissive energy transfer processes. If FIA is coupled with flame atomic absorption, the signals are enhanced with surfactants due to the decreased surface tension that results in the generation of smaller droplets during the aspiration and nebulization processes. In addition, surfactants promote the enrichment of the analyte in the double layer at the air-water interface. The FIA/cloud point extraction technique is based on using surfactants as alternatives to organic solvents. This review discusses the different roles of micelles in FIA methods.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2018-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87598084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A. Valdez, R. Leif, S. Hok, B. Hart","doi":"10.1515/revac-2017-0007","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/revac-2017-0007","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Chemical warfare agents (CWAs) are unarguably one of the most feared toxic substances produced by mankind. Their inception in conventional warfare can be traced as far back as the Middle Ages but their full breakthrough as central players in bellic conflicts was not realized until World War I. Since then, more modern CWAs along with efficient methods for their manufacture have emerged and violently shaped the way modern warfare and diplomatic relations are conducted. Owing to their mass destruction ability, counter methods to mitigate their impact appeared almost immediately on par with their development. These efforts have focused on their efficient destruction, development of medical countermeasures and their detection by modern analytical chemistry methods. The following review seeks to provide the reader with a broad introduction on their direct detection by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and the various sample derivatization methods available for the analysis of their degradation products. The review concentrates on three of the main CWA classes and includes the nerve agents, the blistering agents and lastly, the incapacitating agents. Each section begins with a brief introduction of the CWA along with discussions of reports dealing with their detection in the intact form by GC-MS. Furthermore, as products arising from their degradation carry as much importance as the agents themselves in the field of forensic analysis, the available derivatization methods of these species are presented for each CWA highlighting some examples from our lab in the Forensic Science Center at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81189623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 21st Annual Meeting of the Israel Analytical Chemistry Society Conference & Exhibition, organized by the BioForum Applied Knowledge Center, was held in Tel Aviv on January 23–24, 2018. More than 3200 scientists from all over the world attended the show. The organizers arranged the program to cover a full spectrum of recent developments in the area of analytical chemistry. Four internationally renowned plenary speakers presented their latest results: Prof. Marco Vincenti, Director of the Regional Antidoping and Toxicology Center “A. Bertinaria” in Italy, spoke about the role of hair analysis in the investigation of drug-facilitated crimes. He reported that the drug becomes undetectable in the body fluids mostly after 1–4 days, whereas a low fraction of almost any drug gets incorporated into the keratin hair structure and can be recovered and detected even months later. Prof. Joseph Almog from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem focused on the importance of scientific methods in criminal investigations. He presented several cases of intricate crimes, which have been resolved by the application of modern instrumental techniques. Tina S. Morris from the United States Pharmacopeia, gave an overview of the almost 200-year history of USP and introduced the future developments of the quality standards. She discussed the latest trends in pharmaceutical manufacturing and their impact on the analytical science and new standards development. Andy Eaton from Eurofins Eaton Analytical, USA, spoke about the existing constraints in US drinking water regulations. He reported that most of the methods approved by US Environmental Protection Agency are developed and published 5 or more years prior to any use. The ways to take advantage of improvements in instrumentation and analytical procedures for drinking water analysis were discussed. After plenary lectures, 2 days were devoted to keynote and oral presentations running in four parallel sessions. All together, 74 leading researchers from academia and industry presented their recent achievements and addressed the most exciting developments. It has to be emphasized that the organizing committee designed the schedule very efficiently leaving plenty of time for questions and discussions at the end of the talks. Apart from the lectures, an exhibition with more than 60 exhibitors from Israel and abroad was organized. The vendors presented their products from a variety of areas, such as instrumentation, equipment, chemicals, materials, publications, analytical chemistry services, diagnostics and biotechnology. The meeting was a great success and a nice opportunity to learn about the newest trends in analytical chemistry and to establish new acquaintances and scientific partnerships. The organizing committee announced the conference next year, which will be traditionally be held in January in Tel Aviv.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91073202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lindenberg","doi":"10.1515/revac-2017-0003","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/revac-2017-0003","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Knowledge about the mechanisms involved in the structural development of solid materials at the atomic level is essential for designing rational synthesis protocols for these compounds, which may be used to improve desired technical properties, such as light emission, conductivity, magnetism, porosity or particle size, and may allow the tailored design of solid materials to generate the aforementioned properties. Recent technological advancements have allowed the combination of synchrotron-based in situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) with in situ optical spectroscopy techniques, providing researchers with remarkable opportunities to directly investigate structural changes during synthesis reactions. Among the various available methods to measure optical properties, in situ luminescence, UV/Vis absorption, and light transmission spectroscopies are highlighted here, with in situ luminescence being subdivided into in situ luminescence analysis of coordination sensors (ILACS) and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS). This article consists of a review of 122 references exploring various aspects of in situ analyses, with particular emphasis on the use of XRD-combined techniques in the study of metal-ligand exchange processes during the formation, phase transitions and decomposition of solid materials, including complexes, coordination polymers, metal-organic frameworks, nanoparticles and polyoxo- or chalcogenide metallates. We will then conclude with an exploration of future trends in this exciting research field.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2018-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79612882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is because p-NP is either a precursor or a derivative of a good number of pollutants. It is itself very carcinogenic and tends to persist in water and soil. This has prompted the development of a wide range of analytical tools by researchers for its determination and eventual removal from contaminated sites. These include electrochemical methods with many electrode modifiers and electroanalytical procedures developed for the detection/quantification of p-NP in contaminated environments. Also, chromatographic and p-NP uptake techniques, particularly adsorption onto various adsorbents (ranging from natural to synthetic), are reviewed. The use of microorganisms for the bioremediation of p-NP-contaminated samples and sites has equally been largely studied and is herein overviewed, not forgetting advanced oxidative processes.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2018-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88677241","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The detection of the <i>de novo</i> signal from a wide range of biomolecules has been reported to date. In this review, we examine different classes of biomolecules for the signals observed and experimental details that enable their detection. In particular, we survey nucleic acids, amino acids, peptides, proteins, metabolites, and pathogens. The signals observed show that the interaction of the biomolecule with the enhancing nanostructure has a significant influence on the observed spectrum. Additional experiments demonstrate that internal standards can correct for intensity fluctuations and provide quantitative analysis. Experimental methods that control the interaction at the surface are providing for reproducible SERS signals. Results suggest that combining advances in methodology with the development of libraries for SERS spectra may enable the characterization of biomolecules complementary to other existing methods.</p>","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1515/revac-2016-0037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35791443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The incorporation of electrochemical (EC) sensing broadened their use for applications such as clinical diagnosis, pharmaceutical chemical analyses, food quality, and environmental monitoring. This article provides a review on the microfluidic devices constructed on paper, cloth, and thread substrates. It begins with an overview on paper-based microfluidic devices, followed by an in-depth review on the various applications of EC detection incorporated on paper-based microfluidic devices reported to date. The review on paper-based microfluidic devices attempts to convey a few perspective directions that cloth- and thread-based microfluidic devices may take in its development. Finally, the research efforts on the development and evaluation, as well as current limitations of cloth- and thread-based microfluidic devices are discussed. Microfluidic devices constructed on paper, cloth, and thread substrates are still at an early development stage (prototype) requiring several improvements in terms of fabrication, analytical techniques, and performance to become mature platforms that can be adapted and commercialized as real world products. However, they hold a promising potential as wearable devices.","PeriodicalId":21090,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Analytical Chemistry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2017-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77519725","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
