The rapid increase in applications of scandium isotopes in nuclear medicine requires new efficient production routes for these radioisotopes. Recently, irradiations of calcium in cyclotrons by α, deuteron, and proton beams have been used. Therefore, effective post-irradiation separation and preconcentration of the radioactive scandium from the calcium matrix are important to obtain the pure final product in a relatively small volume. Nobias resin was used as a sorbent for effective separation of 44Sc from calcium targets. Separation was performed at pH 3 using a column containing 10 mg of resin. Scandium was eluted with 100 μL of 2 mol L−1 HCl. Particular attention was paid to the reduction of calcium concentration, presence of metallic impurities, robustness and simple automation. 44Sc was separated with 94.9 ± 2.8% yield, with results in the range of 91.7–99.0%. Purity of the eluate was confirmed with ICP-OES determination of metallic impurities and >99% chelation efficiency with DOTATATE, followed by >36 h radiochemical stability of the complex. A wide range of optimal conditions and robustness to target variability and suspended matter facilitates the proposed method in automatic systems for scandium isotope separation and synthesis of scandium-labeled radiopharmaceuticals.

Abstract Ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction (UA-DLLME) based on solidification of the floating organic solvent droplets (SFO) combined with HPLC was used for determination of five fungicides in fruit juice samples. 1-Dodecanol, which has a low density and low toxicity, was used as the extraction solvent in UA-DLLME. The solidification of floating organic dropletsfacilitates the transfer of analytes from the aqueous phase to the organic phase. This method was easy, quick, inexpensive, precise, and linear over a wide range. Under the optimized conditions, the enrichment factors for a 5 mL fruit juice sample were 25 to 56, and the LODs for the five fungicides ranged from 5 to 50 μg/L. The average recoveries ranged from 71.8 to 118.2% with RSDsof 0.9 to 13.9%. Application of the DLLME-SFO technique allows successful separation and preconcentration of the fungicides at a low concentration level in fruit juice samples.

Abstract A simplified procedure is described for the determination of inorganic phosphate in body fluids. The method employs two stable reagents and requires a minimum number of steps. Serum is deproteinized with trichloroacetic acid containing ferrous ion and thiourea. The supernatant is decanted and mixed with a small volume of molybdic acid. The phosphomolybdate formed is immediately reduced in situ by the ferrous ion to produce a blue color that is stable for several hours. The intensity of color is insensitive to changes in concentration of acid, molybdate, ferrous ion, and thiourea, and to losses in decanting the serum supernatant. Excellent conformity to Beer's law is demonstrated over a wide range of phosphorus concentrations. Recoveries of phosphorus added to serum and urine are shown to be quantitative. A comparison is presented between this method and that of Fiske and SubbaRow (1).

A new chelating matrix was prepared by immobilizing 1,2-dihydr-oxyanthraquinone, or alizarin (AZ), on silica gel modified with (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The matrix was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The new matrix was used to preconcentrate Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II) prior to their determination by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The optimum pH was 5 and the optimum extraction time was approximately 15 minutes using the batch method. Common electrolytes and metal ions did not interfere with the separation and determination of the analytes. The adsorption capacity of the new sorbent was 67.4, 163.5, 212.8, 76.4 and 180.3 μmol/g for Cd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Pb(II) and Zn(II), respectively. The relative standard deviations (RSD) were less than 3.0%. This method allowed for successful separation and preconcentration of trace metal ions in different water samples with satisfactory results.

Various atomic spectrometry techniques are used for the determination of elemental concentrations in a wide range of samples. Although procedures for the determination of metallic impurities are well established, the development of successful methods for the measurement of non-metal elements at trace levels has proved more difficult. In particular, better methods are required for the determination of B, Cl, P, S, Si, etc., in industrial and clinical samples.
