Abstract

Fiber-optic probes for cyanide detection were constructed using metalloporphyrins and a corrin. The probes are based on a change in absorbance that occurs when cyanide coordinates with the reagent used. Response times are as fast as 2 min for cyanide concentrations above 1 × 10−5 M. The reproducibility at a given cyanide concentration level varies for the different reagents, but is most often below 5% (r.s.d.) for the useful portion of the calibration graph. The corrin-based probe is reversible and can be reused. The utility of each reagent is characterized in terms of response time, useful concentration range and reversibility.

    Multiple potential cyanide diagnostic sensor technologies exist using cobinamide (see Fig. 5 for the general reaction scheme). This core technology was first reported in 1990 by Freeman and Bachas [108] and proposed for the analysis of cyanide in blood by Boss in 2010 [109], where a Conway microdiffusion cell was used to trap HCN gas on a hydroxoaquocobinamide-saturated glass fiber filter and a color change was observed. This method took 30 min and used 1 mL of blood to visually detect the presence of cyanide with a detection limit of 15 μmol L−1.

    The tissues with the highest oxygen requirements (brain, heart, and lungs) are the most affected by acute poisoning. Even though cyanide poisoning is not common, it can occur because of smoke inhalation from residential and industrial fires and among people who work in the metal, mining, electroplating, jewellery manufacture, and X-ray film recovery trades.1–15 Numerous chemical and physiochemical methods for the detection and determination of cyanides, such as potentiometry, chromatography, spectrophotometry, flow injection, and electrochemical analyses are used,1–14 but only potentiometric determination has been reported as offering continuous cyanide monitoring.15
