https://www.selleckchem.com/products/cc-115.html Iron speciation analysis in seawater is a fundamental step to understand the cycling of this element in oceanic waters, in view of its central role in regulating primary productivity and its connection to global planetary cycles. At present, analytical procedures are the bottleneck for speciation analysis, in term of both time and sample size requirement. Here we present a novel instrumental configuration for the speciation analysis of iron by the Competitive Ligand Equilibration - Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry (CLE-CSV) procedure. The new system features a 1 mL microcell and a silver wire pseudoreference enabling a tenfold reduction of the sample volume. 2,3-dihydroxynaphthalene was used as the complexing ligand and atmospheric oxygen as the catalytic enhancer because they ensured the best analytical performances in terms of detection capabilities. The side reaction coefficient for the FeDHN complex αFe'DHN was calibrated against EDTA and an average value of 9.25 for logK'Fe'DHN was calculated. The method wn in sample size. Droplet-based microfluidics has emerged as a powerful platform for high-throughput and low-volume analysis and screening. At present, droplet-based microfluidics is transitioning from the proof-of-concept stage to real-world applications. During this process, analytical detection techniques play indispensable roles for successfully implementing droplet-based chemical or biological assays. In this review, we provide an overview of recent developments in analytical techniques for droplet analysis and elucidate the advantages and limitations of each technique. We cover the majority of technology categories, including optical detection, electrical detection, mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Additionally, we highlight new research areas that have been enabled by these technical advances. Finally, we provide perspectives on both future technological directions and potenti
