Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Recent Progress in Wearable Extractive Sampling Technology(Elsevier, 2022) Kahremanoğlu, Kübra; Tosun Kurtalan, Hazal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Boyacı, EzelThe inevitable incline in the daily exposure to various chemicals has raised a necessity to monitor the body's exposure and biological responses to these stimuli more comprehensively and easily; conceivably, integrating novel designs, extractive phases, and state-of-the-art instrumentation with the primary aim of taking the chemical snapshot of the system. Wearable extractive devices are promising tools that are present in the analytical toolbox and address the abovementioned needs. These devices consist of a particular class of samplers that an individual can wear without limiting her/his daily life activities. In addition to being wearable, these devices show the ability to preconcentrate the analytes in an extractive phase while integrating the sampling and sample preparation. In addition to being imperative for personal exposure investigations, applications in diagnostic and prognostic health monitoring are among their emerging applications. Besides, in vivo soft samplers based on microextraction techniques provide non-invasive to low invasive approaches for non-lethal monitoring of various biosystems. Although in these applications they are not used in an ‘obvious way’ as wearable devices as they are not placed directly on the subject's skin and are instead immersed under the skin, in the scope of this review they will still be considered to provide a picture for future directions of extractive wearable devices. This review aims to cover the wearable extractive devices used in exposure studies (with a special focus on the last two years), in vivo, and in situ applications (with a focus on the last five years) where reliable information about the system is under interest.Article Citation - WoS: 169Citation - Scopus: 177Thin Film Microextraction: Towards Faster and More Sensitive Microextraction(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Ölçer, Yekta Arya; Tascon, Marcos; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Boyacı, EzelThin film microextraction (TFME) is an analytical tool that has been proven to be suitable for integrated sampling and sample preparation of a wide variety of routine and on-site applications. Compared to the traditional microextraction techniques, the most important advantage of TFME is its enhanced sensitivity due to the relatively larger extractive phase spread over a larger surface area. The technique, in this way, facilitates fast extraction kinetics and high extractive capacity. Moreover, TFME offers high versatility for device development over classical SPME technologies due to the plethora of available extractive phases, coating methods and geometry options. The goal of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the contemporary advances in this exciting field covering novel extractive phases, technological and methodological developments, and relevant cutting-edge applications. Finally, a critical discussion of the future trends on TFME is also presented. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V.

In this study, highly selective molecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) were synthesized in submicron-sizes and converted to an SPME fiber coating through electrospinning process in order to determine parabens in water samples. Conversion of MIP to a fiber is achieved via creation of spacial knitting around MIP by polystyrene. The selectivity and extraction ability of the fibers were compared with the commercial fibers and the corresponding non-imprinted polymer (NIP) coated fiber. The coated fiber showed better extraction ability among them. Also, the results revealed that the fiber has better selectivity for benzyl paraben and the other structurally-related compounds, such as methyl and propyl paraben. Extraction efficiency of prepared fibers for three parabens has been tested by spiking bottled, tap and sea water samples. The recoveries changed between 92.2 ± 0.8 and 99.8 ± 0.1 for three different water types. This method could be used for selective and sensitive determination of parabens in aqueous samples.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Carotenoid Profile in Prochlorococcus Sp. and Enrichment of Lutein Using Different Nitrogen Sources(Springer Verlag, 2016) Erdoğan, Ayşegül; Demirel, Zeliha; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Conk Dalay, MeltemVarious carotenoids of the cyanobacterium Prochlorococcus sp. are identified using chromatographic/spectroscopic techniques and quantified using HPLC-DAD. In the present study, β-apo-8′-carotenal was used as internal standard. Identification of carotenoids was carried out by comparing the retention time, absorption spectra, and mass spectra of unknown peaks with reference standards. All-trans-lutein was found to be the major carotenoid in this cyanobacterium, and, therefore, algal productivity and the potential for lutein accumulation were analyzed as a function of different nitrogen sources such as nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and urea for cultivation. Among them, urea clearly led to the best lutein accumulation. According to the experimental evidence, lutein increased from 2.54 to 3.34 mg g−1 in the cyanobacteria when urea was used as the nitrogen source. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.Article Citation - WoS: 8Hydrogen Sulfide Determination by Solid Surface Luminescence(Springer Verlag, 1996) Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Volkan, Mürvet; Bayramlı, Erdal; Ataman, O. Yavuz; Mark, Harry B.In the analytical system suggested, atmospheric hydrogen sulfide reacts with the surface of a filter paper treated with aqueous cadmium chloride and yields a luminescent species whose intensity can be correlated with the analyte concentration in ambient air. It was shown that the luminescent species are CdS solid particles which were formed in a well defined size. The paper luminescence was also tried on polymeric surfaces; polyethyleneoxide, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylcellulose and carboxymethylcellulose were found to give a similar luminescence signal. The system can be used on the tip of an optical fiber for an irreversible, cumulative type of analytical device for hydrogen sulfide determination. The 3s detection limit for the paper luminescence detection system was 7.8 ppb H2S.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 40Biosorption of Cu(ii) and Pb(ii) Ions From Aqueous Solution by Natural Spider Silk(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Pelit, Levent; Ertaş, Fatma Nil; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Shahwan, Talal; Tural, H.Aside from its excellent mechanical properties, spider silk (SS) would offer an active surface for heavy metal interaction due to its rich protein structure. The present study describes the potential use of natural (SS) as a sorbent of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. Single and multi-species biosorption experiments of heavy metals by natural SS were conducted using batch and column experiments. The biosorption kinetics, in general, was found to follow the second-order rate expression, and the experimental equilibrium biosorption data fitted reasonably well to Freundlich isotherm. From the Freundlich isotherm, the biosorption capacities of Cu(II) and Pb(II) ions onto SS were found as 0.20 and 0.007mmolg -1, respectively. The results showed a decrease in the extent of metal ion uptake with lowering the pH.Article Citation - WoS: 45Citation - Scopus: 55Incorporation of Iron Nanoparticles Into Clinoptilolite and Its Application for the Removal of Cationic and Anionic Dyes(Korean Society of Industrial Engineering Chemistry, 2015) Nairat, Muath; Shahwan, Talal; Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Fuchs, HaraldThis study reports the preparation of composite sorbents of iron nanoparticles (nZVI) and clinoptilolite at various iron/clinoptilolite ratios. The composites were characterized using various characterization techniques. The material was used for the removal of methylene blue (MB) and methyl orange (MO) as model cationic and anionic dyes. The experiments investigated the effects of time, loading, initial pH, reusability, and temperature on the removal process. According to the results, Cl-nZVI showed fast and quantitative removal over a wide range of concentrations. The removal process was endothermic in nature, and the composite demonstrated reusability for several trials.Article Citation - WoS: 67Citation - Scopus: 80Metal Ion Release From Tin Coated Cocrmo Orthopedic Implant Material(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Türkan, Uğur; Öztürk, Orhan; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminIn this study, a medical grade CoCrMo alloy was coated with TiN by means of physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique at 550 °C for 6 h. The TiN layer microstructure and thickness were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The adhesive strength of the TiN coatings on the CoCrMo substrate was studied by a commercially available Scanning Scratch Tester. Static immersion test was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of TiN coating in preventing the dissolution of metal ions into the simulated body fluid (SBF) from the substrate by atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). The XRD results showed that the PVD coated TiN films exhibited (111) preferred orientation, while the SEM analysis indicated quite uniform and highly dense TiN coated layer (about 3 μm thick) with a columnar growth mode reaching from substrate to coating surface. The scratch test results showed that the adhesive strength between the TiN film and the CoCrMo substrate was adequate. The AAS and ICP-OES results showed that the presence of the TiN coating prevented the release of cobalt and chromium metal ions from the substrate CoCrMo alloy whereas cobalt was preferentially dissolved from the as-polished material. Calcium phosphate precipitation was observed on the surface of the as-polished material, indicating a degree of bioactivity of the as-polished surface which is absent in the TiN coated substrate alloy.Article Citation - WoS: 82Citation - Scopus: 92Metal Ion Release From Nitrogen Ion Implanted Cocrmo Orthopedic Implant Material(Elsevier Ltd., 2006) Öztürk, Orhan; Türkan, Uğur; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminCoCrMo alloys are used as orthopedic implant materials because of their excellent mechanical and corrosion properties. However, when placed in vivo, these alloys release Co, Cr, Mo ions to host tissues, which may give rise to significant health concerns over time. Nitrogen ion implantation can be used to form protective layers on the surface of CoCrMo orthopedic alloys by modifying the near surface layers of these materials. In this study, medical grade CoCrMo alloy (IS0 5832-12) was ion implanted with 60 keV nitrogen ions to a high dose of 1.9 × 10 18 ions/cm 2 at substrate temperatures of 100, 200 and 400 °C. The N implanted layer microstructures, implanted layer phases, and thicknesses were studied by a combination of Bragg-Brentano (θ/2θ) and grazing incidence (Seeman-Bohlin) X-ray diffraction (XRD and GIXRD) and cross-sectional scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used for roughness analysis of N implanted as well as as-polished surfaces. Static immersion tests were performed to investigate metal ion release into simulated body fluid (SBF) by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). XRD and SEM analyses indicated that the N implanted layers were ∼ 150-450 nm thick and composed of the (Co,Cr,Mo) 2+xN nitride phase and a high N concentration Co-based FCC phase, γ N depending on the substrate temperature. ETAAS analysis results showed that in vitro exposure of the N implanted surfaces resulted in higher levels of cobalt ion release into the simulated body fluid compared to the untreated, polished alloy. The higher Co release from the N implanted specimens is attributed to the nature of the implanted layer phases as well as to the rougher surfaces associated with the N implanted specimens compared to the relatively smooth surface of the untreated material. SEM analysis of N implanted and untreated specimens after immersion tests clearly indicated calcium phosphate formation on the as-polished CoCrMo alloy, indicating a degree of bioactivity of the untreated metal surface which is absent in the N implanted specimens.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 28Speciation and Preconcentration of Inorganic Antimony in Waters by Duolite Gt-73 Microcolumn and Determination by Segmented Flow Injection-Hydride Generation Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (sfi-Hgaas)(Elsevier Ltd., 2005) Erdem, Aslı; Eroğlu, Ahmet EminA selective matrix removal/separation/enrichment method, utilizing a microcolumn of a chelating resin with SH functional groups (Duolite GT-73), was proposed for the determination of Sb(III) in waters by segmented flow injection-hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry (SFI-HGAAS). The resin was selective to Sb(III) at almost all pH and acidity values employed, whereas Sb(V) was not retained at all and could be determined after a pre-reduction step with l-cysteine. Spike recoveries were tested at various concentration levels in different water types and were found to vary between 85 and 118%. Accuracy of the proposed methodology was checked by analyzing a standard reference material and a good correlation was found between the determined (13.3 ± 1.1 μg l-1) and the certified value (13.79 ± 0.42 μg l-1). The method was applied to several bottled drinking water samples for antimony determination with and without preconcentration and none of the samples were found to contain antimony above the permissible level (5 μg l-1). The characteristic concentration (the concentration of the analyte corresponding to an absorbance of 0.0044) was 0.55 μg l-1 and the 3 s limit of detection (LOD) based on five times preconcentration was 0.06 μg l-1. The applicability of the microcolumn separation/preconcentration/matrix removal method for flow injection systems was also demonstrated.
