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.
Direct determination of Mancozeb by photoacoustic spectrometry
2006
Abstract A solvent free, fast and environmentally friendly photoacoustic-infrared-based methodology (PAS-FTIR) was developed for the determination of Mancozeb in agrochemicals. This methodology was based on the direct measurement of the transmittance spectra of solid samples and a multivariate calibration model to determine the active ingredient concentration. The proposed partial least squares (PLS) model was made using nine standards prepared by mixing different amounts of kaolin and Mancozeb, with concentrations between 5.43 and 88.10% (w/w). A hierarchical cluster analysis was made in order to classify the samples in terms of similarity in the PAS-FTIR spectra. From their spectra differ…
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…
Extractive Spectrophotometric Determination of Ondansetron by Ion-Pair Formation with Bromocresol Green
1996
Abstract An empirical spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of the antiemetic ondansetron is carried out. The method is based on the formation of a 1:1 ion pair with bromocresol green in the pH range over 3.2 – 4.4, extraction into chloroform layer and spectrophotometric measurement at 420.8 nm. The calibration graph is linear over the range 0.1 – 20 μg ml−1 ondansetron, with a relative standard deviation of 2.7%; the influence of foreign substances is also studied. The method is applied to ondansetron determination in human urine.
Comparison of two vibrational procedures for the direct determination of mancozeb in agrochemicals.
2007
The direct determination of mancozeb in agrochemicals has been made by diamond attenuated total reflectance (ATR) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in the middle range (DATR-MIR) and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy in the near range (DR-NIR) methods using in both cases a previous identification of the samples using a dendrographic classification and an appropriate partial least squares (PLS) calibration established from a set of nine external standards and optimized for each type of sample. It was analyzed a heterogeneous population of 11 samples obtained from the Spanish market, containing different co-formulated products, such as fosetyl-Al, copper oxychl…
Determination of diphenhydramine hydrochloride by flow injection with Bromophenol Blue and turbidimetric measurement
1990
The study of a number of diphenhydramine-dye systems was carried out in order to determine the most suitable precipitate for the turbidimetric determination of diphenhydramine using flow injection (FI). The reagent selected was Bromophenol Blue. The chemical and FI variables were optimised. The calibration graph was linear over the concentration range 50-230 p.p.m. of diphenhydramine hydrochloride. A number of interfering substances were also investigated.
Filter-based infrared detectors for high temperature size exclusion chromatography analysis of polyolefins: calibration with a small number of standa…
2012
Infrared detection has been shown to be very appropriate for high temperature analysis of polyolefins. After some early reports in which dispersive or single-band filter-based detectors were applied, Fourier transform detectors have been described for this application, in order to improve the method sensitivity. Modern simple filter-based detectors prove, however, comparable sensitivity while providing a number of practical advantages when coupled to chromatographic systems: reduced cell volume, simplified hardware, continuous generation of absorbance chromatograms, as well as simpler data collection and processing. A practical method for calibration, using multiple-band signals obtained wi…
Net analyte signal as a deconvolution-oriented resolution criterion in the optimisation of chromatographic techniques
2003
The performance of two multivariate calibration measurements, multivariate selectivity (SEL(s)) and scalar net analyte signal (scalar NAS), as chromatographic objective functions (COFs), was investigated. Since both assessments are straightforwardly related to the quantification of analytes in the presence of interferents, they were expected to confer new features in the optimisation of compound resolution, not present in conventional assessments. These capabilities are especially interesting in situations of low resolution, where peak deconvolution becomes an attractive alternative. For comparison purposes, chromatographic resolution (R(s)) and peak purity (p(s)) were used as reference COF…
Critical study of and improvements in chromatographic methods for the analysis of type B trichothecenes
2001
Various analytical methods used in the analysis of type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol, nivalenol, 3- and 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol) in cereals were compared and optimised in this work. These methods use either GC-electron-capture detection (ECD) of trimethylsilyl, trifluoroacetyl and heptafluorobutyryl derivatives or HPLC with UV or photodiode array detection of analytes. A new HPLC procedure using fluorescence detection prior derivatisation with coumarin-3-carbonyl chloride has been also tested. Five extraction solvents and two solid-phase extraction cartridges (silica, Florisil) plus a especial clean-up column (MycoSep 225) were compared in order to obtain the best recovery of the mycoto…
Sweeteners determination in table top formulations using FT-Raman spectrometry and chemometric analysis
2004
Abstract A partial least squares (PLS) Fourier transform Raman spectrometry procedure based on the measurement of solid samples contained inside standard glass vials, has been developed for direct and reagent-free determination of sodium saccharin and sodium cyclamate in table top sweeteners. A classical 22 design for standards was used for calibration, but this system provides accuracy errors higher than 13% w/w for the analysis of samples containing glucose monohydrate. So, an extended model incorporating glucose monohydrate (23 standards) was assayed for the determination of sodium saccharin and sodium cyclamate in all the samples. Mean centering spectra data pre-treatment has been emplo…
