Partial least squares attenuated total reflectance IR spectroscopy versus chromatography: the greener method
2012
Method election is a complex task that must be done carefully in order to ensure the capability of analytical methodologies to provide appropriate data for problem solving. This is a real challenge in all fields, but especially with bioanalysis, which in many cases involves the need to do a large number of determinations in complex
Determination of Caffeine in Analgesic Formulations Using the Apparent Content Curves Method
1994
Abstract The determination of caffeine by UV spectroscopy in pharmaceutical samples, containing different compounds which provide spectral interferences as aspirin, paracetamol, chlorfeniramine or propylphenazone, is carried out. The proposed procedure is based on the apparent content curves method in order to resolve binary, ternary and multicomponent mixtures. Results obtained are, in all cases, in agreement with contents found by a HPLC procedure used as reference method.
Immobilization of reagents by polymeric materials. Determination of metamizol
1992
Abstract A method for immobilization of inorganic reagents, based on the dispersion of the reagent into an unsaturated polyester solution is applied to immobilization of lead dioxide. The obtained solid is of application in a flow-injection manifold for indirect atomic absorption determination of metamizol in pharmaceutical formulations. The procedure gives a linear calibration graph up to 6 ppm of metamizol with a relative standard deviation of 1.6% (3.0 mg/l) and a sample throughput of 72 hr−1.
Determination of critical eluent composition for polyethylenglycols using on-line liquid chromatography-Fourier transform infrared spectrometry.
2008
In this work, it has been extended to methanol:water mobile phases, the use of a background correction method for on-line LC-FTIR measurements named Univariate background correction based on the use of a reference spectra matrix (UBC-RSM) and absorbance ratios. It permits to overcome the problem related to spectral changes occurring during the gradient elution, which in the past limited the on-line coupling of LC and FTIR to isocratic elutions. The combined use of the aforementioned background correction technique in on-line isocratic and gradient LC-FTIR, and partial least squares (PLS) has been applied for the search of the critical conditions for polymers. Polyethylenglycol (PEG) has bee…
Simultaneous Determination of Pyridoxine and Riboflavin in Energy Drinks by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Fluorescence Detection
2015
Energy drinks, as familiar consumer products, have been widely used in laboratory courses to help promote student interest, as well as to connect lecture concepts with laboratory work. Energy drinks contain B vitamins: pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and riboflavin (vitamin B2) of which amounts are high enough to be of concern. In this work, a fast and inexpensive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with fluorescence detection method for determining pyridoxine and riboflavin simultaneously in energy drinks is developed. It takes advantage of the native fluorescence of B vitamins and provides high selectivity and sensitivity with low background noise. The method is suitable for und…
Continuous flow-injection-atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of Ondansetron
1995
Abstract A flow-injection procedure for the indirect determination of the new drug Ondansetron is proposed. The method is based on the reaction of the drug in an oxidative solid-phase reactor included in the flow assembly. The reactor was made by lead dioxide physically entrapped by polymerization; the released lead(II) was monitored by atomic absorption spectrometry at 217.0 nm. The procedure gave a linear calibration graph up to 20 μg ml−1 of Ondansetron with a sample throughput of 338 samples h−1.
Synthesis and characterization of diatomaceous earth chemically modified with γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane
2003
A stationary phase for thin-layer chromatography has been prepared by bonding purified diatomaceous earth (rich in silica) with γ-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The phase has been characterized by elemental analysis, measurement of the specific surface area, IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and chromatographic testing.
Univariate method for background correction in liquid chromatography–Fourier transform infrared spectrometry
2007
An univariate method is proposed for background correction in on-line gradient liquid chromatography-Fourier transform infrared (LC-FTIR) spectrometry using acetonitrile:water as mobile phase components. The method is based on the calculation of the ratio of absorbances (AR) at two characteristic wavenumbers for each spectrum. This parameter is subsequently used to locate the most appropriated eluent spectrum within a reference spectra matrix (RSM) to be subtracted from each spectrum included in the sample chromatogram. To correct minor changes in eluent spectra intensity during the elution of analytes, a correction factor (Kf), defined as the ratio of the absorbance of the sample and the s…
Procedures of Separation and Pre‐concentration for Molybdenum Determination Using Atomic Spectrometry—a Review
2004
Abstract The literature concerning the improvement of atomic and ionic procedures for molybdenum determination through separation and pre‐concentration were updated. Analytical procedures based on flame atomic absorption spectrometry (AAAS), electrothermal or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS), inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP‐OES), and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry were reviewed taking into consideration the preliminary steps, which can enhance the selectivity and sensitivity based on co‐precipitation, solvent extraction, and solid‐phase extraction. Both in‐batch and on‐line procedures were considered.
Determination of busulfan in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with pre-column derivatization and fluorescence detection.
1999
A rapid, sensitive and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for busulfan in human plasma was developed. After extraction of plasma samples with acetonitrile and methylene chloride, busulfan and the internal standard [1,5-bis(methanesulfonyloxy)pentane] were derivatized with 8-mercaptoquinoline to yield fluorescent compounds which were detected with a fluorescence detector equipped with filters of 360 nm (excitation) and 425 nm (emission). Calibration graphs showed a linear correlation (r>0.9990) over the concentration range of 20-2000 ng/ml. The recovery of busulfan from plasma standards was 70+/-5%. The detection and quantification limits for busulfan in plasma sample…
