A fully automated sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical preparations is reported. The method is based on the condensation reaction of the analyte with 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of potassium ferricyanide. The absorbance of the condensation product was monitored at 503 nm. A linear relationship between the relative peak height and concentration was obtained in the range 0.5-17.5 mg l−1. The detection limit (as 3σ value) was 0.09 mg l−1 and repeatability was 0.8 and 0.6% at 2.5 and 5 mg l−1, respectively. Results obtained by this method agreed very well with those obtained by the AOAC official method. 相似文献

A sequential injection spectrophotometric determination of ritodrine hydrochloride is described. The method is based on the condensation of aminoantipyrine with phenols in the presence of an alkaline oxidizing agent to yield a pink coloured product the absorbance of which is monitored at 503 nm. Different sequential injection analysis (SIA) parameters including reagent concentrations have been optimised and used to obtain the analytical figures of merit. A linear concentration range of 3.1-123.5 μmol L−1 and a detection limit (as 3σ-value) of 1.0 μmol L−1 were obtained. The precision was 2.4 and 2.3% relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) at 6.2 and 15.4 μmol L−1, respectively. This method is superior over previously reported ones in terms of linear range, short analysis time, high sample throughput, excellent reagent economy and minimum waste generation. 相似文献
A screen-printed amperometric biosensor based on carbon ink double bulk-modified with MnO2 as a mediator and glucose oxidase as a biocomponent was investigated for its ability to serve as a detector for bonded glucose in different compounds, such as cellobiose, saccharose, (-)-4-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside, as well as in beer samples by flow-injection analysis (FIA). The biosensor could be operated under physiological conditions (0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.5) and exhibited good reproducibility and stability. Bonded glucose was released with glucosidase in solution, and the free glucose was detected with the modified screen-printed electrode (SPE). The release of glucose by the aid of glucosidase from cellobiose, saccharose and (-)-4-nitrophenyl-β-d-glucopyranoside in solution showed that stoichiometric quantities of free glucose could be monitored in all three cases.The linear range of the amperometric response of the biosensor in the FIA-mode flow rate 0.2 mL min−1, injection volume 0.25 mL, operation potential 0.48 V versus Ag/AgCl) extends from 11 to 13,900 μmol L−1 glucose in free form. The limit of detection (3σ) is 1 μmol L−1 glucose. A concentration of 100 μmol L−1 yields a relative standard deviation of approximately 7% with five injections. These values correspond to the same concentrations of bonded glucose supposed that it is liberated quantitatively (incubation for 2 h with glucosidase).Bonded glucose could be determined in beer samples using the same assay. The results corresponded very well with the reference procedure. 相似文献
The objective of this study is a quantitative and qualitative analysis of essential and trace elements of four indigenous Ethiopian spices and herbs using instrumental neutron activation analysis technique. Results obtained for 16 elements: Major elements; Mg, Cl, and K; Minor elements; Na, Fe, and Mn, Zn, Br. While Al, V, Sm, Sc, La, Ba, Eu, Rb were found in traces. The spices, Affromumom korarima and Lippa Adonesis var. Koseret sebsebe were found to be very good sources of essential trace elements like Fe, Zn and Mn. The highest concentration of Mg was found in Ajowan whereas K and Fe were measured in Coriander seeds. The average daily dietary intake of some essential elements from the use of these spices were found to be below the recommended upper limit by WHO.
A trace test for the mean parameters of the growth curve model is proposed. It is constructed using the restricted maximum likelihood followed by an estimated likelihood ratio approach. The statistic reduces to the Lawley-Hotelling trace test for the Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) models. Our test statistic is, therefore, a natural extension of the classical trace test to GMANOVA models. We show that the distribution of the test under the null hypothesis does not depend on the unknown covariance matrix Σ. We also show that the distributions under the null and alternative hypotheses can be represented as sums of weighted central and non-central chi-square random variables, respectively. Under the null hypothesis, the Satterthwaite approximation is used to get an approximate critical point. A novel Satterthwaite type approximation is proposed to obtain an approximate power. A simulation study is performed to evaluate the performance of our proposed test and numerical examples are provided as illustrations. 相似文献
Density functional theory (DFT) quantum chemical calculations of the structure and NMR parameters for highly strained hydrocarbon [2.2]paracyclophane 1 and its three derivatives are presented. The calculated NMR parameters are compared with the experimental ones. By least-squares fitting of the (1)H spectra, almost all J(HH) coupling constants could be obtained with high accuracy. Theoretical vicinal J(HH) couplings in the aliphatic bridges, calculated using different basis sets (6-311G(d,p), and Huz-IV) reproduce the experimental values with essentially the same root-mean-square (rms) error of about 1.3 Hz, regardless of the basis set used. These discrepancies could be in part due to a considerable impact of rovibrational effects on the observed J(HH) couplings, since the latter show a measurable dependence on temperature. Because of the lasting literature controversies concerning the symmetry of parent compound 1, D(2h) versus D(2), a critical analysis of the relevant literature data is carried out. The symmetry issue is prone to confusion because, according to some literature claims, the two hypothetical enantiomeric D(2) structures of 1 could be separated by a very low energy barrier that would explain the occurrence of rovibrational effects on the observed vicinal J(HH) couplings. However, the D(2h) symmetry of 1 with a flat energy minimum could also account for these effects. 相似文献
