description

Abstract Electronic and mathematical differentiation of the ultraviolet visible spectra were compared from the study of the analytical parameters of the direct determination of clonazepam in urine samples. Third-order derivative spectra were used. The mathematical differentiation provides higher sensitivity, a lower limit of detection, and better accuracy and precision than the electronic one. The use of a diode array instrument provides lower sensitivity than that found using a conventional spectrometer; however, the limit of detection obtained in both cases is of the same order.
