DETERMINATION OF PENTOBARBITAL IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES BY MICELLAR LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY
1999
A liquid chromatographic procedure for the determination of pentobarbital in urine and plasma samples is described. The proposed system uses a Spherisorb octadecyl-silane ODS-2 C18 analytical column, a guard column of similar characteristics, and a 0.02 M CTAB-15% 1-propanol at pH 7.5 mobile phase. The UV detector was set at 250 nm. Pentobarbital was isolated from urine and plasma samples by using a single solid phase extraction procedure with LMS cartridges. Mephobarbital was used as internal standard. Limits of detection were 0.53 μg/mL and 0.60 μg/mL in urine and plasma samples respectively. In both cases the coefficients of variation were lower than 6.5%, and the recoveries ranged betwe…
Determination of ascorbic acid in asparagus by differential pulse polarography
1995
A useful method for the determination of ascorbic acid in a vegetable product (asparagus) by differential pulse polarography has been set up and evaluated. Extraction and instrumental conditions were optimized. The analytical parameters are: linearity (0–18.18 μg/ml); detection limit (0.182 μg/ml); instrumental and method precision (2.77% and 4%, respectively); accuracy (96.9–113.4%). These data show that the method is sufficiently sensitive, reliable and accurate. It was also compared with the official fluorometric AOAC method.
Automated determination of reboxetine by high-performance liquid chromatography with column-switching and ultraviolet detection.
2000
A fully automated method including column-switching and isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for quantitative analysis of the new antidepressant reboxetine, a noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor. After serum injection into the HPLC system and on-line sample clean-up on a silica C8 (10x4.0 mm I.D.) clean-up column with an eluent consisting of 2.5% acetonitrile in deionized water, the chromatographic separation was performed on an analytical column (Lichrospher CN; 250x4.6 mm I.D.) with an eluent of acetonitrile-aqueous potassium phosphate buffer (0.008 M, pH 6.4) (50:50). The UV detector was set at 273 or 226 nm. The limit of quantification was about 15 ng/ml at…
Quality control of pharmaceuticals containing clenbuterol by thermal lens spectrometry.
1996
An ultrasensitive absorptiometric procedure for the determination of clenbuterol in pharmaceutical preparations was developed. Clenbuterol was diazotized with nitrite and coupled with 1-(naphthyl)ethylenediamine, and the absorbance of the azo dye formed was measured by both spectrophotometry and ultrasensitive thermal lens spectrometry (TLS). The TLS limit of detection was 1.5 ppb, 14-fold lower than with a Hewlett-Packard diode array spectrophotometer. Thus, the TLS procedure can be advantageously applied to quality control of clenbuterol at the individual dose level and in small samples. Repeatability as relative standard deviation was 1.5% (50 ppb, n = 6).
Oxidation of adrenaline and noradrenaline by solved molecular oxygen in a FIA assembly.
2002
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…
Sensitive determination of methylenedioxylated amphetamines by liquid chromatography.
2001
Different strategies for the liquid chromatographic determination of methylenedioxylated amphetamines were evaluated: separation and detection of underivatized analytes by (i) UV or (ii) fluorescence, (iii) derivatization with 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl chloride followed by separation and UV detection of the derivatives formed and (iv) derivatization with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (FMOC) and subsequent separation and fluorimetric detection of the derivatives. The compounds tested were 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE). On the basis of these studies, a new procedure for the chromatographic determination of…
Derivatization techniques for automated chromatographic analysis of amphetamine usingo-phthaldialdehyde: A comparative study
2000
The potential of different chromatographic systems for automated, on-line analysis of amphetamine in biological fluids is illustrated. The various systems integrate analyte purification and enrichment, separation, derivatization in different derivatization modes witho-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), and fluorimetric detection. The reliability of the systems has been tested by analysing urine and plasma samples containing amphetamine in the 0.1–20.0 μg mL−1 range. Pre, on and post-column derivatization strategies are compared in terms of their instrumental requirements, selectivity, sensitivity, linearity and reproducibility.
Automated determination of amisulpride by liquid chromatography with column switching and spectrophotometric detection.
2003
A fully automated chromatographic method including on-line blood serum or plasma clean-up, isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectrophotometric detection was developed for quantitative analysis of the new antipsychotic drug amisulpride. After injection of serum or plasma onto the HPLC system and clean-up on a pre-column (10x4.0 mm I.D.) filled with Silica CN 20 micrometer (pore size 10 nm) by an eluent consisting of 8% acetonitrile in deionized water, the chromatographic separation was performed on Lichrospher CN (5 micrometer; 250x4.6 mm I.D.) by an eluent consisting of 50% acetonitrile and 50% aqueous potassium phosphate buffer (0.008 M, pH 6.4). The UV detector …
Selective chlorine determination by gas diffusion in a tandem flow assembly and spectrophotometric detection with o-dianisidine
2001
Abstract A fast, selective, sensitive and automated method for determination of free chlorine in industrial formulations and water samples is proposed. The automation of the flow assembly is based on the “tandem flow” approach, which uses a set of solenoid valves acting as independent switches. The operating cycle for obtaining a typical analytical transient signal can easily be programmed by means of friendly software running in the Windows environment. The manifold is provided with a gas diffusion unit which permits the removal of interfering species as well as concentrating the chlorine. The determination of chlorine is performed on the basis of the oxidation of o-dianisidine as the colo…
Simple and sensitive reversed-phase liquid chromatographic assay for analysis of chlorthalidone in urine
1993
Abstract This study describes a rapid method for the determination of chlorthalidone in human urine by reversed-phase liquid chromatography and UV detection at 230 nm, after clean-up over a C8 solid-phase extraction column. Liquid chromatography was carried out on a C18-bonded phase using acetonitrile-phosphate buffer (pH=3) gradient elution. Triamterene was used as internal standard. The system has been applied to the determination of chlorthalidone in the 0.10–10.0 μg/mL concentration interval; the limit of detection was 6 ng/mL.
