Numerous methods have been described in the literature for the determination of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) in whole blood. The most popular and widely used have been (1) the spectrophotometric methods, which could be performed either by using a conventional spectrophotometer or by using specialized automated instruments known as CO-oximeters; (2) the gas chromatographic methods, with variable detection systems, which have been considered as the reference methods for every carbon monoxide analysis. The authors have critically reviewed previously reported comparative studies on these methods, considering statistical and analytical matters, in order to propose the best method for the determination of COHb in postmortem blood, that could be utilized in forensic toxicology laboratories where such analyses are limited in number (less than 20 per year). Criteria for evaluation have been accuracy, reliability, simplicity, time, and cost. The authors’ concluding statement has been that the manual spectrophotometric method could be the method of choice for COHb determination in postmortem blood samples. It is simple, rapid, and reliable and fulfills the forensically acceptable accuracy. It is performed by the use of a conventional spectrophotometer, which is considered a basic instrument in every analytical laboratory.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an emerging gasotransmitter and reactive carbon species with broad anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective, and neurotransmitter functions along with therapeutic potential for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. The study of CO chemistry in biology and medicine relative to other prominent gasotransmitters such as NO and H2S remains challenging, in large part due to limitations in available tools for the direct visualization of this transient and freely diffusing small molecule in complex living systems. Here we report a ligand-directed activity-based sensing (ABS) approach to CO detection through palladium-mediated carbonylation chemistry. Specifically, the design and synthesis of a series of ABS probes with systematic alterations in the palladium-ligand environment (e.g., sp3-S, sp3-N, sp2-N) establish structureactivity relationships for palladacycles to confer selective reactivity with CO under physiological conditions. These fundamental studies led to the development of an optimized probe, termed Carbon Monoxide Probe-3 Ester Pyridine (COP3E-Py), which enables imaging of CO release in live cell and brain settings, including monitoring of endogenous CO production that triggers presynaptic dopamine release in fly brains. This work provides a unique tool for studying CO in living systems and establishes the utility of a synthetic methods approach to activity-based sensing using principles of organometallic chemistry

Modification of a heavy iodine atom for d-Luciferin was explored as a “turn-on” transduction scheme for CO detection. This new probe could image exogenous and endogenous CO in the luciferase-transfected cancer cells.

AbstractWith micro- and nano-structured optical fibers, parts-per-million to parts-per-trillion level gas detection has been demonstrated for a range of gases such as methane, acetylene, ethane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and oxygen. We review the recent development in optical fiber gas cells and gas detection systems based on direct absorption, photothermal, photoacoustic, and stimulated Raman spectroscopies.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas, and environmental pollutant. Its detection and control in residential and industrial environments are necessary in order to avoid potentially severe health problems in humans. In this review paper, we discuss the importance of furthering research in CO sensing technologies for finding the proper material with low-range detection ability in very optimum condition. We build our discussion through the perspective of a cyber-physical system (CPS) modeling framework, because it provides a comprehensive framework to model and develop automated solutions for detection and control of poisonous chemical compounds, such as the CO. The most effective CO sensors, then, can be used in CPS network to provide a pathway for real-time monitoring and control in both industrial and household environment. In this paper, first, we discuss the necessity of CO detection, the proposal of a basic CPS framework for modeling and system development, how the CPS-CO model can be beneficiary to the environment, and a general classification of the various CO detection mechanisms. Next, a broad overview emphasizes the sensitivity, selectivity, response and recovery time, low concentration detection ability, effects of external parameters and other specifications that characterize the performance of the sensing methods proposed so far. We will discuss recent studies reported on the use of metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensing technologies for the detection of CO. MOS based micro-sensors play an important role in the measurement and monitoring of various trace amounts of CO gas. These sensors are used to sense CO through changes in their electrical properties. In addition to MOS based sensors, optical sensing methods have recently become popular, due to their increased performance. Hence, a brief overview of newly proposed optical based CO detection methods is provided as well.
