Abstract: | Abstract The frequency shift of a piezoelectric crystal sensor showed a linear dependence on the concentration for drugs which can be hydrolyzed in base aqueous solutions, at a given reacting time after the addition of the base, when the base concentration is basically constant during the entire measurement period. The sensitivity of the analysis method was improved, if crystal responses at different reacting times were recorded and utilized to estimate component concentration, when used for determining atropine sulfate in a pharmaceutical compound. The analytical results indicated that the selective and sensitive analytical procedure could be easily applied in true low concentration pharmaceutical analysis. |
