Spectrofluorometric determination of L-tryptophan after preconcentration using multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Vol 2, Issue 01, Pages 43-48 **** Filed: Bioanalysis
Abstract
A solid-phase extraction method based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was applied for the preconcentration of L-tryptophan prior to its spectrofluorometric determination. Due to the high surface area of MWCNTs, satisfactory concentration factor and extraction recovery can be achieved with only 10 mg MWCNTs in 5 min. The effects of pH, sorbent amount, eluent type and time on the recovery of the analyte were investigated. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limit for L-tryptophan was 8.9 ng mL−1. The precision of the method, evaluated as the relative standard deviation obtained by analyzing of 10 replicates, was 2.6%. The practical applicability of the developed method was examined using wheat and barley samples.
