W. Winkler et A. Arenhovel-pacula, Spectrophotometric determination of zinc with phenylfluorone in the presence of triton X-100 and cetylpyridinium chloride, CHEM ANAL, 44(4), 1999, pp. 725-730
Spectrophotometric determination of zinc using the reaction with phenylfluo
rone (PF) in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride (CP) and Triton X-100
was elaborated. Optimum concentrations of PF, CP and Triton X-100, and pH
ensuring maximum absorbance were defined. The effect of foreign ions was el
ucidated. The maximum absorbance is observed at 573 nm with the molar absor
ptivity 1.09x10(5) l mol(-1) cm(-1). The Beer's law is obeyed for zinc conc
entrations in the range 0.04-0.4 mu g ml(-1). The method has been applied f
or determination of zinc in insulin.
