✦ Synopsis
A stopped-flow/flow-injection procedure is proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of paraoxon based on the inhibition of immobilized acetylcholinesterase.
The irreversibly inhibited enzyme is reactivated with l,l'-trimethylene-bi&-formylpyridinium bromide) dioxime. The proposed procedure has a detection limit of 4 x 10e9 M, a linear calibration range of 9 x 10e9-5 x lo-' M, a R.S.D. of 1.6% (n = 10) at 5.0 x lo-* M and a sample throughput frequency of 10 h-'. The enzyme reactor can be used for more than one thousand inhibition-reactivation cycles.

A flow-injection procedure is described for the determination of methanol based on its alcohol oxidase-catalysed conversion to formaldehyde, which is then oxidized to formic acid by NAD+ in the presence of formaldehyde dehydrogenase. The concentration of NADH produced is measured by fluorimetry. Bot
A highly sensitive flow analysis method for determination of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors like organophosphorous pesticides using a new chemiluminescent reaction was developed and optimized. This method is fast, sensitive, and cheap, because it requires only one enzyme and its substrate. T
