Ac. Torres et al., FIA-FLUOROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF ADRENALINE IN PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS BY OXIDATION WITH MOLECULAR-OXYGEN, Mikrochimica acta, 128(3-4), 1998, pp. 187-190
The fluorimetric determination of adrenaline is carried out in a conti
nuous-flow assembly and by means of the molecular dissolved oxygen. Th
e sample solution merges with an NaOH stream, then the resulting mixtu
re is heated at 73 degrees C and led to the flow-cell of the fluorimet
er. The flow-assembly is very simple and the procedure is quick (107 s
amples h(-1)) reproducible (R.S.D. 0.6%), selective and suitable to be
applied to determination of adrenaline in formulations. Calibrations
graph are linear over the ranges 0.05-15 and 20-40 mg l(-1).
