title: Determination of dextran sulfate sodium with crystal violet by triple-wavelength overlapping resonance Rayleigh scattering.
abstract: A triple-wavelength overlapping resonance Rayleigh scattering (TWO-RRS) method was developed to detect dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) with crystal violet (CV). At pH 10.0 Britton Robinson buffer solution medium, the interaction of CV with DSS occurred which greatly enhanced the RRS intensity with the new RRS peaks appearing at 340, 501 and 671 nm and all these three peaks enhanced with the increase of DSS concentration in the range of 0.04-2.5 microg ml(-1) and the detection limit for the three single peaks was 0.024, 0.027, and 0.027 microg ml(-1), respectively, whereas that of the TWO-RRS method was 0.013 microg ml(-1). The TWO-RRS method was found to have much better flexibility and high sensitivity than the single-wavelength method. In this paper, the interaction conditions were optimized. The affecting factors and characteristics of RRS for the interaction of DSS with CV were investigated and a sensitive method for the determination of trace amounts of DSS using the TWO-RRS method was developed.
