Application of Flow Injection Method for the Determination of Thioridazine

Abstract

A simple flow-injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of thioridazine is described. The method is based on the oxidation of thioridazine with phosphotungstic acid in hydrochloric acidic media. Concentrations of thioridazine in the range 10 – 60 ppm are determined with a relative standard deviation of 1.1%. The method was applied to the determination of thioridazine in pharmaceutical formulations.     

Determination of Genistein by Flow‐injection Chemiluminescence Method Based on Ferricyanide Oxidation Sensitized by Rhodamine 6G

A novel flow injection chemiluminescence (FI‐CL) method for the determination of genistein was described. The method was based on the reaction between genistein and potassium ferricyanide in alkaline solution to give weak CL signal, which was dramatically enhanced by rhodamine 6G (Rh G). The CL emission allowed quantitation of genistein concentration in the range 1.0 × 10^?7–4.0 × 10^?5 mol/L with a detection limit (3σ) of 4.2 × 10^?8 mol/L. The relative standard deviation for 11 parallel measurements of 5.0 × 10^?7 mol/L, 4.0 × 10^?6 mol/L and 1.0 × 10^?5 mol/L genistein were 2.59%, 2.40% and 1.48%, respectively. The experimental conditions for the CL reaction were optimized and the possible reaction mechanism was discussed. The method was applied to the determination of genistein in biological fluids.     

The Analysis of Galvanizing Preflux Solutions for Zinc by Flow Injection-Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

A direct flow injection flame atomic absorption spectrometry method of determining zinc salt solutions with concentrations of 100's g dm^?3 is reported. It was shown that high concentrations of KCl, NaCl and NH₄Cl do not significantly interfere with the determination of zinc in both the mg dm^?3 and g dm^?3 concentration ranges. Where g dm^?3 concentrations were determined a secondary spectral line at 307.6 nm was found satisfactory. Galvanizing preflux solutions were analyzed both after dilution to the mg dm^?3 range at 213.9 nm and directly injected at 307.6 nm. Precisions of better than 6.6% rsd were observed by the direct method compared with better than 4.8 by dilution techniques. Concentrations up to 110 g dm^?3 in zinc were determined the total salt content being greater than 300 g dm^?3.     

Direct Determination of Glucose in Blood Serum Using Trinder's Reaction

Abstract

A very simple flow injection analysis system for direct determination of glucose in blood serum based on Trinder's reaction is described. The sera samples (15 μl) can be injected directly to the system without the deproteinization or the use of a dialyzer.

Calibration curves are linear in the range 50–400 mg/dl. The sampling frequency is 60 samples per hour. Results obtained by the proposed procedure are compared with those acquired at a local hospital using their routine glucose procedure also based on Trinder's reaction. It is shown that a better mix between sample and reagents is achieved using the single bead string reactor (SBSR).     

Flow Injection Amperometric Determination of Hydrogen Peroxide at Low Level in Aqueous Solution

Abstract

A method is proposed for the flow-injection amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide. Iodine is generated, by injecting hydrogen peroxide solution into an eluent 0.2 M in potassium iodide and 1 Min sulphuric acid and 5×10^?3M in Mo(VI) and is monitored at a platinum electrode that is being held at 0.1 V versus SCE. the rectilinearity range is from 10^?3?10^?6 M and the method is simple, accurate and compared favourably with the titrimetric method involving starch as indicator.     

Determination of Riboflavin Using Flow Injection Inhibitory Chemiluminescence

ABSTRACT

A new flow injection method for the determination of riboflavin based on the inhibition of the intensity of chemiluminescence (CL) from the luminol-K₃Fe(CN)₆ system is described. While riboflavin mixed with K₃Fe(CN)₆, by the fast oxidation reaction between riboflavin and K₃Fe(CN)₆, K₄Fe(CN)₆ was generated, which then inhibited the CL reaction of K₃Fe(CN)₆ and luminol in alkaline aqueous solution. The CL emission was correlated with the riboflavin concentration in the range from 0.032 to 100 μg·ml?¹, and the detection limit was 0.01 μg·ml?¹ (3σ). A complete analysis could be performed in 2 min with a relative standard deviation of less than 2.2%. The influence of foreign species was studied and the method has been applied successfully to the determination of riboflavin in pharmaceutical samples, the recovery was from 98.0% to 102%.     

A Study on the Peak Type of Flow Injection Analysis

Abstract

Two equations for justifying whether a FIA peak is a gamma peak or an exponentially modified Gaussian (EMG) peak or neither of them have been presented. From these two equations, the peaks of flow injection extraction and FIA with single-line and two-line manifolds obtained in this paper are gamma peaks.     

Determination of Vitamin A in Infant Milk-Based Formulas and Pharmaceutical Formulations Using Flow Injection with Ce(IV)–Na2SO3 Chemiluminescence Detection

A rapid and simple flow injection (FI) method is reported for the determination of vitamin A (retinol) based on its strong enhancing effect on the Ce(IV)–Na₂SO₃ chemiluminescence (CL) reaction in an acidic solution. The effect of key chemical and physical parameters (i.e., reagent concentrations, flow rate, and sample volume) was optimized and potential interferences examined. Under the selected experimental conditions, a linear calibration was obtained between the CL intensity and vitamin A concentration in the range 0.1–8.0 µg mL^?1 (r ²  = 0.9986, n = 8). The limit of detection (3 s x blank) was 0.01 µg mL^?1 retinol (n = 6) and the relative standard deviation (RSD) for 0.25 µg mL^?1 retinol was 2.3% (n = 10) with a sampling rate of 180 h^?1. The method was successfully applied to infant milk-based formulas and pharmaceutical formulations and the results were not significantly different at 95% confidence interval with those obtained by using a spectrophotometric reference method. The possible CL mechanism is also discussed briefly supporting with UV-visible, fluorescence, and CL spectra.     

Determination of Diammonium Glycyrrhizinate and Its Antioxidant Activity Using a Novel Chemiluminescence System

A novel chemiluminescence (CL) system was established for the determination of diammonium glycyrrhizinate (DG) in pharmaceutical preparations and its ability of scavenging hydroxyl radical. It was shown that a strong CL signal was observed when Eosin Y mixed with Fenton reagent. The CL intensity was decreased significantly when DG was added to the reaction system and partially scavenged the hydroxyl radicals in the solution. The extent of decrease in the CL intensity had a good stoichiometrical relationship with DG concentration. Based on this, we developed a new method for the determination of DG using a flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) technique. Under the optimal conditions, the linear range of DG concentration was 6.0 × 10^?8–5.0 × 10^?6 mol/L (R = 0.9982) with a detection limit of 8.0 × 10^?9 mol/L (SN = 3), and the RSD was 3.8% for 2.0 × 10^?7 mol/L DG (n = 11). This method was successfully used in the determination of DG in tablets and the evaluation of hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity of DG. The possible reaction mechanism of the CL system is discussed.
