Ultra-small nanoparticles of Mo-doped ceria (Mo/CeO2 NPs) possess enhanced peroxidase-like catalytic activity and these enzyme mimics are used here for the successful quantitative determination of blood glucose via a colorimetric method.

In this work, we have developed a simple, rapid, sensitive and selective colorimetric method for the quantitative determination of hypochlorite (ClO−) ions by using triangular silver nanoprisms (AgNPRs) as a colorimetric probe.

Abstract A colorimetric method for the quantitative determination of sodium lauryl sulfate in liquid, frozen, and powdered egg white was studied by eight collaborators. Determinations were made on flake and powdered egg white at levels of 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2% (w/w) and on liquid egg white at levels of 0.006, 0.0125, and 0.0250% (w/w) sodium lauryl sulfate. The egg white is dissolved in water, and the protein is precipitated with ethanol and removed by filtration. An aliquot of the filtrate is evaporated to dryness, and the residue is dissolved in water and acidified with sulfuric acid. The sodium lauryl sulfate is complexed with Azure A, extracted into chloroform, and determined spectrophotometrically at 637 mμ. A blank determination is made on another aliquot of the filtrate by complexing the sodium lauryl sulfate with benzethonium chloride. This is a stable colorless complex. Average recoveries in the collaborative study were 98—102% with a mean deviation of 2.8—5.4%. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official, first action.

A colorimetric method is described whereby the direct quantitative determination of glucosamine, galactosamine and muramic acid can be achieved without previous treatment of the cell-wall hydrolysate, for example by column chromatography. Molar ratios of hexosamines in cell-wall preparations, from a number of bacterial species, determined by this method were found to be in general agreement with previously published results.

A new colorimetric detection of methylmercury (CH3Hg+) was developed, which was based on the surface deposition of Hg enhancing the catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). The AuNPs were functionalized with a specific DNA strand (HT7) recognizing CH3Hg+, which was used to capture and separate CH3Hg+ by centrifugation. It was found that the CH3Hg+ reduction resulted in the deposition of Hg onto the surface of AuNPs. As a result, the catalytic activity of the AuNPs toward the chromogenic reaction of 3,3,5,5-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 was remarkably enhanced. Under optimal conditions, a limit of detection of 5.0 nM was obtained for CH3Hg+ with a linear range of 10–200 nM. We demonstrated that the colorimetric method was fairly simple with a low cost and can be conveniently applied to CH3Hg+ detection in environmental samples.

Abstract Total urinary protein is rapidly precipitated at room temperature by tannic acid. The tannic acid/protein precipitate, dissolved in aqueous triethanolamine/ferric chloride solution, gives a purple-violet color of high absorptivity. Absorbance at 510 nm is linearly related to concentration from 0.05 to 1.50 A for a protein content of 0.05 to 1.50 g/liter, and less than 5 mg/liter can be detected. The CV and analytical recovery ranged from 0.5 to 1.8% and 98 to 103%, respectively. Nonprotein urinary constituents do not interfere.
