A simple method was developed for determining microquantities of diltiazem, based on the reduction of copper(II) in buffered solution (pH 7.0) and the use of a micellar medium containing 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-biquinoline acid. The copper(I) produced reacts with 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-biquinoline acid and the complexes formed are spectrophotometrically measured at 558 nm. A typical calibration graph shows good linearity (r = 0.993) from 20 to 100 μg mL–1 of diltiazem. The limit of detection and relative standard deviation were calculated as 12 μg mL–1 (99% confidence level) and 3.5% (40 μg mL–1; n = 6), respectively, with a mean recovery value of 96.5% found in pharmaceutical dosages. A straightforward and effective way to recycle the reagents is addressed. The hazardous aspects of the Cu(I)–BCA reaction are presented as well.

A new kinetic spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of ultratrace amounts of sodium cromoglycate (SCG). The method based on catalytic action of SCG on the oxidation of amaranth with periodate in acidic and micellar medium. The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of the amaranth at 518 nm, for the first 4 min from initiation of the reaction. Calibration curve was linear in the range of 4.0−36.0 ng mL−1SCG. The limit of detection is 2.7 ng mL−1SCG. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for ten replicate analyses of 12, 20, and 28 ng mL−1SCG was 0.40%, 0.32%, and 0.53%, respectively. The proposed method was used for the determination of SCG in biological samples.

A new sorbent (PAMAM4.0GASG) with gallic acid as functional group has been prepared based on G4.0 polyamidoamine dendrimer modified silica gel (PAMAM4.0SG) and characterized with FTIR. It was employed for selective separation, preconcentration and determination of lead in different samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). Experimental conditions for effective separation and preconcentration of lead were optimized. The preconcentration factor reaches 200 for lead. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) under optimum conditions was 2.1% for 5.0 μg ml1 of Pb (II).The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) was 2.1% for 5.0 μg ml1 of Pb (II). The limit of detection (LOD) of 0.081μg ml1 was achieved with a sample loading flow rate of 4.2 ml min1 and a 10 ml sample volume in the proposed method. The proposed column enrichment method was applied for the preconcentration/separation and determination of Pb (II) in tap water and river water samples successfully.

An effective and fast method for determination of deoxynivalenol (DON) in cereals and flours has been developed. The immunoaffinity column was used for the isolation of DON from wheat, corn, rice and flour extract. The determination was carried out by using the HPLC/UV method. The limit of detection was 0.02 mg/kg. The recoveries for the assay range 0.1 to 2 mg/kg were generally higher than 80%, ranging from 83 to 96% with an average relative standard deviation of 3.8%. The trueness of the method using the DON test – HPLC column was established by use of certified reference material CRM 379. The certified value was 0.67 mg/kg. The result obtained from three replicates was 0.68 ± 0.05 mg/kg. The corresponding confidence interval at 95% probability ranged from 0.63 to 0.73 mg/kg. A comparative study of the DON testTM – HPLC/UV and the Mycosep 225 – GC/ECD methods was carried out. Six naturally contaminated wheat samples were analysed by both methods. Linear regression analysis demonstrates that DON testTM – HPLC is a statistically significant predictor of the GC/ECD method using the Romer Mycosep 225 column.

A new, simple, rapid, sensitive, accurate, and affordable spectrofluorimetric method was developed and validated for the estimation of ganciclovir in bulk as well as in marketed formulations. The method was based on measuring the native fluorescence of ganciclovir in 0.2 M hydrochloric acid buffer of pH 1.2 at 374 nm after excitation at 257 nm. The calibration graph was found to be rectilinear in the concentration range of 0.25–2.00 μg mL−1. The limit of quantification and limit of detection were found to be 0.029 μg mL−1and 0.010μg mL−1, respectively. The method was fully validated for various parameters according to ICH guidelines. The results demonstrated that the procedure is accurate, precise, and reproducible (relative standard deviation <2%) and can be successfully applied for the determination of ganciclovir in its commercial capsules with average percentage recovery of 101.31 ± 0.90.

The Modified Phenanthroline Method (MPM) has been validated for determination of antioxidant content in herb samples. Validation was done using Relative Standard Deviation (RSD) and percentage of recovery. The RSD and percentage of recovery for herb samples are 3.13% and 98.6%, respectively. Based on these values, MPM method is valid for determining antioxidant content in herb samples. T test shows no significant differences of antioxidant content using any of these methods, MPM, PM, FRAP or DPPH, at a 95% confidence level. MPM method shows a very strong correlation with PM and FRAP method.  While with DPPH and TPC shows is strong.

Based on the oxidation of neutral red by KIO4 in 3.2×10-4 mol/L sulfuric acid solution, a simple kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Se(IV).The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of neutral red at 530 nm with a fixed-time method. The decrease in the absorbance of neutral red is proportional to the concentration of Se(IV) in the range 0.0–8.0 µg/L with a fixed time of 4–6 min from the initiation of the reaction. The limit of detection is 0.36 µg/L Se(IV). The influence of the factors such as acidity, concentration of reactants, reaction time, temperature and co-existing ions on the reaction is discussed. The optimum conditions of reaction are established and some kinetic parameters are determined. The apparent activation energy of catalytic reaction is 81.60 kJ/mol. The relative standard deviation for the determination of 0.1 and 0.2 µg/mL Se(IV) was 2.1 and 1.9 %, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of Se (IV) in tea and human hair samples with the relative standard deviation of 0.33 %–1.5 % and the recovery of 97.5 %–103.5 %.

Based on the oxidation of acid chrome blue K (ACBK) by hydrogen peroxide in 0.002 mol/L sulfuric acid solution, while 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) acts as an activator, a simple kinetic spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of trace amounts of Se(IV).The reaction was monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in the absorbance of ACBK at 524 nm with a fixed-time method. The decrease in the absorbance of ACBK is proportional to the concentration of Se (IV) in the range 0.06–1.0 µg/L with a fixed time of 4–10 min from the initiation of the reaction. The limit of detection is 0.018 µg/L Se (IV). The influence of the factors such as acidity, concentration of reactants, reaction time, temperature and co-existing ions on the reaction is discussed. The optimum conditions of reaction are established and some kinetic parameters are determined. The apparent activation energy of catalytic reaction is 62.30 kJ/mol. The relative standard deviation for 11 replicate determination of 0.01 and 0.02 µg/25mL selenium (III) was calculated to be 2.3 % and 2.0 %, respectively. Combined with sulphydryl dextrane gel (SDG) separation and enriching, the method has been successfully applied to the determination of Se (IV) in foodstuff samples with the relative standard deviation of 1.1 %–3.7 % and the recovery of 99.0 %–104.0 %, the results are in good agreement with those provided by HG-AAS method.

Abstract A simple method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of N-butylscopolamine bromide and oxazepam in pharmaceutical formulations using first-order digital derivative spectrophotometry. Acetonitrile was selected as the solvent in which both compounds showed well-defined bands. Both analytes showed good stability in this solvent when solutions of the analytes were exposed to light and temperatures between 20° and 80°C. The simultaneous determination of both drugs was performed by the zero-crossing method at 226.0 and 257.0 nm for N-butylscopolamine and oxazepam, respectively. The linear range of determination was found to be 2.5 × 10−7 to 8.0 × 10−5 mol/L for N-butylscopolamine and 7.1 × 10−8 to 8.0 × 10−5 mol/L for oxazepam. A very good level of repeatability (relative standard deviation) of 0.2% was observed for N-butylscopolamine and oxazepam. The ingredients commonly found in pharmaceutical formulations do not interfere. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these drugs in pharmaceutical formulations (capsules).

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted to evaluate a liquid chromatographic (LC) method with immunoaffinity column cleanup for determination of ochratoxin A. The method was tested at 3 concentration levels of ochratoxin A in barley, which represent possible future European regulatory limits. The test portion was extracted with acetonitrile–water by blending at high speed. The extract was filtered, diluted with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and applied to an ochratoxin A immunoaffinity column. The column was washed with water and the ochratoxin A eluted with methanol. The solvent was then evaporated and the residue redissolved in injection solvent. After injection of this solution onto reversed-phase LC column, ochratoxin A was measured by fluorescence detection. Eight samples of low level naturally contaminated barley and 2 samples of blank barley (ochratoxin A not found at the limit of detection of 0.2 μg/kg at the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 to 1) were sent, along with ampules of ochratoxin A, calibrant, and spiking solutions, to 15 laboratories in 13 different European countries. Test portions were spiked with ochratoxin A at levels of 4 ng/g, and recoveries ranged from 65 to 113%. Based on results for spiked samples (blind duplicates) and naturally contaminated samples (blind duplicates at 3 levels), the relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) ranged from 4 to 24%, and the relative standard deviation for reproducibility (RSDR) ranged from 12 to 33%. The method showed acceptable within- and between-laboratory precision, as evidenced by HORRAT values, at the low level of determination for ochratoxin A in barley.
