ANALYTICAL METHOD FOR HEAVY METAL DETERMINATION IN ALGAE AND TURTLE EGGS FROM GUANAHACABIBES PROTECTED SEA PARK

Analytical method for heavy metal determination in algae and turtle eggs from Guanahacabibes Protected Sea Park

A standard digestion method coupled to electrochemical detection for the monitoring of heavy metals in biological samples has been used for the simultaneous analysis of the Lunge Pads target analytes.Square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) coupled to disposable screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) was employed as a fast and sensitive electroan

Toxicity assessment of silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles and biocompatibility improvement by surface engineering.

We have studied in vitro toxicity of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) coated with a thin silica shell (Fe3O4/SiO2 NPs) on A549 and HeLa cells.We compared bare and surface passivated Fe3O4/SiO2 NPs to evaluate the effects of the coating on the eye pencil particle stability and toxicity.NPs cytotoxicity was investigated by cell viability, membrane inte
