Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Catecholamines, generally including dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), and norepinephrine (NE), are important neurotransmitters and serve many central nervous system functions. In this work, a simple colorimetric method for the determination of the three catecholamines is developed. The proposed method is based on the fact that Ag could oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to oxidized TMB (oxTMB) and induce a blue color solution corresponding to an absorption peak centered at 652 nm. However, the introduction of catecholamines could cause the reduction of oxTMB which results in the fading of the blue color quickly and a decrease of the absorbance at 652 nm. Based on this finding, we propose a method to quantitatively detect catecholamines with the help of UV-vis spectroscopy. The detection limit (S/N = 3) for DA, EP, and NE is 50 nM, 100 nM, and 150 nM, respectively. More importantly, this method is simple, fast and without the use of complicated nanomaterials. This method has been successfully applied to the detection of catecholamines in pharmaceutical samples.
