The objective of the present study was to improve the dissolution rate of Modafinil by solid dispersion (SD) systems in PVP-K 30. Drug contents were determined by UV Spectrophotometry at λmax of 259.5 nm. The phase solubility behavior of Modafinil in presence of various concentrations of carriers in distilled water was obtained at 37±2C. The dissolution of Modafinil increased with increasing am...

A novel on-line oxidation method of ultra-trace Cr(III) dissolved in natural water has been developed using a flow electrolysis cell. This method was successfully applied to the determination of the total Cr concentration by flow injection-solid phase spectrophotometry using diphenylcarbazide as a coloring agent. With the applied potential of 1.35 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and the flow rate of 0.80 cm(3)...

A rapid and simple method was optimized and validated for the separation and quantification of paraquat, a frequently used herbicide and a leading cause of fatal poisoning worldwide, at trace levels with UV-Vis spectrophotometry in plasma and urine samples by direct magnetic solid-phase extraction. Fe3O4@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were used as the magnetic solid-phase extraction agents and the pa...

Two methods are described for determination of Doxophylline in a solid dosage form. The first method was based on ultraviolet (UV)-spectrophotometric determination of the drug. It involves absorbance measurement at 274 nm (λ(max) of Doxophylline) in 0.1 N hydrochloric acid. The calibration curve was linear, with the correlation coefficient between 0.99 and 1.0 over a concentration range of 0.20...

This study demonstrates the first use of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) immobilized on a rotating disk for the extraction of copper from aqueous matrices and its subsequent direct determination by solid phase UV-Visible spectrophotometry. To accomplish the solid-phase extraction and the direct solvent-free spectrophotometric measurement, sodium diethyldithiocarbamate (NaDDTC) was used as an analyt...

A method is described for the determination by solid phase spectrophotometry (SPS) of trace amounts of vanadium in natural water and crude petroleum samples. The procedure is based on fixation on a dextran-type anion exchanger of the complex V(IV)-Eriochrome Cyanine R. The absorbance of the gel, at 563 and 750 nm, packed in a 1 mm cell, is measured directly. Vanadium can be determined in the 0....

The primary azo compound 1-(3-formyl-4-hydroxyphenylazo)-4-nitrobenzene reacts with some aliphatic and aromatic diamines and yields the corresponding azo-azomethine compounds. These compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV/Vis, and NMR spectroscopy. The primary azo compound exists entirely in the azo form in solution as well as in the solid phase. The tautomeric structure of a...
