Oxidation of adrenaline and noradrenaline by solved molecular oxygen in a FIA assembly.
A simple and effective procedure is proposed for the study and simultaneous determination of adrenaline and noradrenaline. The fluorimetric determination of both substances is performed in a flow injection assembly and by oxidation of both drugs with the solved molecular oxygen. The influence of different parameters is empirically studied and the interpretation of the reaction mechanism is also added. The determination of adrenaline is monitored at 450 nm and the outputs at 520 nm correspond to the adrenaline and noradrenaline global amount; for both lectures lambda(exc) 329 nm. The influence of temperature is relevant and analytical determination occurred at 55 degrees C by immersing the s…
Photochemical Derivatization and Fluorimetric Determination of Promethazine in a FIA Assembly
Abstract The flow injection fluorimetric determination of promethazine is carried out by on-line photoderivatization. The PTFE tubing is helically coiled around the lamp. An analytical procedure is proposed by using aqueous solution as carrier stream: the calibration graph is linear over the range 0.05 - 20 ppm. The influence of foreign compounds is studied and the method is applied to promethazine determination in pharmaceutical formulations.
FIA-fluorimetric determination of adrenaline in pharmaceutical formulations by oxidation with molecular oxygen
The fluorimetric determination of adrenaline is carried out in a continuous-flow assembly and by means of the molecular dissolved oxygen. The sample solution merges with an NaOH stream, then the resulting mixture is heated at 73 °C and led to the flow-cell of the fluorimeter. The flow-assembly is very simple and the procedure is quick (107 samples h−1) reproducible (R.S.D. 0.6%), selective and suitable to be applied to determination of adrenaline in formulations. Calibrations graph are linear over the ranges 0.05–15 and 20–40 mgl−1.
On-line photochemical derivatization and flow-injection spectrophotometric determination of ergonovine maleate
Abstract A flow-injection manifold is proposed for the on-line photochemical derivatization of ergonovine maleate with application to pharmaceutical formulations. The procedure is based on the reaction with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde in presence of iron(III) and sulphuric acid medium. The reaction rate is improved by irradiation of the solution with a mercury lamp (254.0 nm). The calibration graph is linear over the range 3–74 μg ml−1 ergonovine, with a mid-range R.S.D. of 1.7% and a sample throughput of 34 h−1. The influence of foreign compounds was tested.
Continuous-flow spectrophotometric determination of sulfadiazine by diazotisation with in situ preparation of nitrite
Abstract Nitrite is prepared in situ for the determination of sulfadiazine. The method is based on solid-phase reduction of copperized cadmium of nitrate; the nitrite reagent merges with the sample stream in hydrochloric acid medium and the resulting mixture is injected into the water carrier, pure distilled water, and then merges with the N-(1-naphthyl)ethylendiamine reagent and is measured spectrophotometrically at 542.0 nm. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.5–50 μg ml−1 sulfadiazine, mid-range R.S.D. = 0.3% (n = 5) and sample throughput 72 h−1. The procedure is applied to sulfadiazine determination in a pharmaceutical formulation and to in vitro dissolution studies of two …
Flow injection-spectrophotometric determination of metoclopramide hydrochloride.
Abstract The determination of metoclopramide hydrochloride is spectrophotometrically determined by the Bratton-Marshall method in a flow injection assembly. The required nitrite is prepared on-line in the flow assembly by reducing a nitrate solution with the aid of a copperised cadmium solid-phase reactor. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.5–85 mg l−1, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.89%, and sample throughput of 51 samples h−1. The method is easy and simple, and it is applied to determination of metoclopramide in some pharmaceutical formulations. The method eliminates the need for frequent preparation of unstable nitrite solutions.
