A sensitive electroanalytical method for determination of acetaminophen (ACT) in paracetamol tablet has been developed and validated. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was used to study the electrochemical behaviour of paracetamol, while differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) was used to determine ACT. Screen printed carbon electrode was used for the analysis. Determination of all parameters in paracetamol...

A novel, simple p-dimethyl amino benzyl ethylene diamine reagent has been synthesized under ordinary laboratory conditions and this reagent was successfully applied for the determination of Chromium (VI) in various environmental samples. This reagent yields a red colored complex with chromium metal solution in sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer of pH 7.0. Maximum absorption was obtained at 560 n...

There is little consensus as to the most appropriate methodology for the measurement of gastrointestinal pH in chickens. An experiment was conducted to establish the optimum sampling method for the determination of broiler digesta pH in birds fed differing levels of dietary calcium. Ross 308 broilers (n = 60) were fed 1 of 2 experimental diets, one containing 0.8% monocalcium phosphate and 2% l...

C OLORIMETRIC ANALYSIS has been employed extensively in determination of copper and zinc in human serum and other biologic materials. Greenleaf (1) and Callan and Henderson (2) determined copper colorimetrically using dithizone and diethyldithiocarbamate, respectivelv. Zinc was determined colorinietricallv by Fischer and Leopoldi (4) and by Wolf (5), using dithizone. These procedures were evalu...

A new and simple differential pulse polarographic procedure was established for the trace determination of mercury(II). An indirect method had to be used since no polarographic peak can be observed for its direct determination. According to their standard potentials, the reaction between SO2− 3 and Hg(II) was suitable. The peak height of sulfite at about –0.70 V (pH 6, 7) was sharp, high, and v...
