Due to hygienic risks of mercury residues in food and marine originated supplements, measuring total mercury and methyl mercury contents of canned tuna as a highly consumable marine food product is essential. In this study, 40 canned Tuna fish (from Persian Gulf) were collected in 2015 and then flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS) and thermo gas chromatography mass spectrophotometry were...

Two methods, spectrophotometric and chromatographic-densitometric ones, were developed for determination of losartan potassium, quinapril hydrochloride and hydrochlorothiazide in pharmaceutical preparations. Spectrophotometric method involved derivative spectrophotometry and zero order spectrophotometry. The measurements were carried out at lambda = 224.0 nm for quinapril, lambda = 261.0 nm for...

the acid-base equilibrium of lorazepam was studied by means of potentiometry andmultiwavelengths spectrophotometry. the stoichiometric equilibrium constants were determinedat 25 °c and constant ionic strength 0.1 mol l-1 (nacl). the acidity constants pk1=1.58±0.05and pk2=11.67±0.07 were found by potentiometry, and pk1=1.54±0.02 and pk2=11.61±0.03 bymulti-wavelengths spectrophotometry. potentiom...

BACKGROUND The literature lacks comparative data on nebulizer aerosol delivered via mask versus T-piece, to spontaneously breathing pediatric subjects. PURPOSE To compare total inhaled drug mass delivered via standard pediatric aerosol mask versus via T-piece, with increasing distance. METHODS We used a sample of 5 nebulizers, operated under manufacturers' conditions, with a standard pediat...

The interaction between felodipine and bovine serum protein was studied, the optimal experimental conditions were selected, fluorescence quenching mechanism discussed. filodipine determined by UV spectrophotometry, selected control variable method. of in system explored spectrophotometry. intensity most obvious under buffer solution pH 7.4, concentration 8.0*10 -4 mol/L, reaction time 30min 25°...

A sensitivity comparison was made between conventional atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and conventional molecular absorption spectrophotometry (MAS) for the serum trace metals, copper, iron, and zinc. The sensitivity aspect considered was absorbances was obtained for concentrations in the solutions analyzed using unit lightpaths of 1 cm and 10 cm for MAS and AAS, respectively. A disti...

INTRODUCTION Obesity is a chronic disease that induces risk factors for metabolic syndrome and, is associated with disturbances in the metabolism of the zinc. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the existence of relationship between the biomarkers of metabolic syndrome and the zinc nutricional status in obese women. METHOD Seventy-three premenopausal women, aged between 20 and...

Laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) is capable of metal imaging by acquiring local spatial information. However, the preparation an appropriate standard for quantitative analysis difficult because matrices between and sample should match, homogeneity concentration in required. Hence, aim this study was to establish a highly mercury method that utilizes LA-ICP...

Spectrophotometric method is often recommended in dissolution testing of not only tablets or capsules but also suppositories. Dissolution rate of diclofenac sodium was studied using a pharmacopoeial flow-through apparatus and pH 7.3 buffer. For two lipophilic suppository bases (Witepsol W-32 and H-19) dissolution rate was overestimated with the spectrophotometric zero-order method in comparison...
