Abstract Measurement of acetaminophen by analysis of the second derivative of its spectrum is specific and sensitive. The method of extraction and the use of just one phosphate buffer as reagent makes this method very convenient. Readings are reliable from 10 to 1500 mg/L. A turnaround time of 20 min makes this method well suited for emergency cases. Precision and accuracy of the method are presented. Results are not biased by interferences, not even from N-acetylcysteine.

The relationship between near infrared (NIR) second derivative spectra and lipid oxidation was investigated to develop a method for the determination of lipid oxidation in edible oils by NIR spectroscopy, using peroxide value ( POV) as the index of oxidation. Although several absorption peaks were found in the difference second derivative spectra of oxidised edible oils, the intensity of the peak at 2084 nm only was highly correlated to POV. In the spectra of purified hydroperoxides of methyl oleate and methyl linoleate, the intensity of the peak at 2084 nm was also highly correlated with POV, which demonstrates that the absorption is due to hydroperoxide. In addition, this peak shifted and weakened after reduction of hydroperoxide to hydroxide, which shows the absorption is specific for the hydroperoxyl group. These results suggest that 2084 nm is the key wavelength for lipid peroxide and can be used for the determination of lipid oxidation in edible oils.

Abstract A derivative spectrophotometric procedure was established for simultaneous determination of propranolol HCI (PP) with hydrochlorothiazide (HTZ) and metoprolol tartrate (MTP) with HTZ in tablet preparations. The method uses first- and second-derivative spectra of tablet extract in 0.01 N NaOH solution. Ratios of analyte concentrations in the mixture were determined by the compensation technique. The zero-crossing point (ZCP) was also used to estimate the amounts of PP and HTZ in the formulations, and results were compared with those from the compensation technique. The results were found to be precise and free from interferences.

In this paper, a second-derivative spectrophotometric method of assaying Septalen ? pellets (Krka, Novo Mesto, Slovenia), which contain lidocaine 1 mg, and cetrimoniumbromide 2mg, is described. Lidocaine, 2-(diethylamino)-N-(2,6-dimethyl- phenyl)-acetamide, is a local anesthetic with pronounced antiarhythmic and anticonvulsant properties. Cetrimoniumbromide, N,N,N-trimethyl-l-hexadecanaminium bromide, is a topical antiseptic and cleansing agent. Lidocaine was determined at 250 nm using the "zero crossing" technique because the signals of centrimonium bromide and the colour ingredient are zero at this wavelength. Cetrimonium bromide was determined by correction of the peak amplitude at 215 nm according to lidocaine. In choosing the optimal magnitudes for the simultaneous determination of both drugs, the following criteria were considered: (1) the linearity of the calibration graphs as given by the correlation coefficients, (2) the intercept, (3) the sensitivity as given by the regression coefficient, (4) the degree of interference in the derivative measurement by the presence of the other compound, as given by the relative percent error and by the relative recovery, and (5) the reproducibility, as given by the coefficient of variation, calculated by recording the second-derivative spectra.

Abstract We discuss the relative merits of absorption and first- and second-derivative spectra for the simultaneous quantification of bilirubin and hemoglobin, and evaluate single-, two-, and multiwavelength methods. Although both species can be quantified from single- or two-wavelength absorption data, lipids or other absorbing or light-scattering components introduce systematic errors that can be substantially decreased by using first- or second-derivative spectra. Multi-wavelength data-processing methods with derivative spectra permit quantification of components with overlapping spectra and decrease the random error usually associated with derivative methods. A typical least-squares equation for quantifying bilirubin in the presence of hemoglobin and bovine serum albumin from multi-wavelength second-derivative data is y(computed) = 0.999x(prepared) + 0.00 mg/L.

Abstract A liquid extraction method is described that permits rapid determination of cholecalciferol (D3) in rodenticidal grain baits. Purified D3 was incubated for various time periods to produce pre-D3. Response ratios (concentration/detector response) for various concentrations of pre-D3 and D3 in solutions permitted generation of a correction factor for direct quantitation of pre-D3 in solutions with a pure D3 standard. The method has equal precision and accuracy, yet is simpler and less time consuming and requires less solvents than widely accepted methods for extracting D3 from grain baits. Recoveries from control oat baits fortified at 0.05 and 0.75 wt% were 100.9 and 98%, respectively. A standard curve for concentrations ranging from 6.4 to 204 μg/mL had an r2 of 0.9999 and an intercept of zero and was linear and proportional. The method limit of detection was 2.0 × 10−4 wt % D3.

Using PEG-10000 and sodium citrate as stabilizer, and NaBH4 as reducer, a stable nanosilvers (AgNPs) sol was prepared. In pH 6.6 phosphate buffer solution containing NaCl, the AgNPs were aggregated to large particles, which lead to resonance Rayleigh scattering (RRS) peak at 350 nm enhancement. Upon addition of cysteine, the peak decreased. The decreased value ΔI is linear to cysteine concentration in the range of 5-60×10-8 mol/L. Thus, a new RRS method was proposed for detection of cysteine.
