Abstract The formation of a red complex between boron and the quinalizarin reagent was investigated and used as the basis for a simple and sensitive spectrophotometric method for boron in date cultivars. At 620 nm, the absorbance was linear (r= 0.999) over the 0.25-2.5 μg/mL concentration range. The molar absorptivity was found to be 2.23 x 103mol-1cm-1 and the relative standard deviation for 10 replicates (1.0 μg/mL) was 0.97%.

Abstract A sensitive spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of paraquat, a widely used herbicide. Paraquat was reduced with glucose in an alkaline medium, and the blue radical ion obtained was measured at 600 nm. Beer’s law was obeyed at 0.1–1.2 ppm paraquat. The molar absorptivity was 1.26 × 105 L mol-1 cm-1. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation were ± 0.007 and 2.0%, respectively, for 5 μg paraquat/10 mL analyzed over 7 days. The method was free from interference by other commonly used pesticides and metal ions. The method may be used to the determine paraquat in plants, fruits, grains, water, blood, and urine.

Simple, accurate and reproducible UV-spectrophotometric method was developed and validated for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical nasal drops formulations. Phenylephrine hydrochloride was estimated at 291 nm in 1 mol⋅dm-3 sodium hydroxide (pH 13.5). Beer’s law was obeyed in the concentration range of 10–100 μg⋅cm−3 (r2 = 0.9990) in the sodium hydroxide medium. The apparent molar absorptivity was found to be 1.63×103 dm3⋅mol−1⋅cm−1. The method was tested and validated for various parameters according to the ICH (International Conference on Harmonization) guidelines. The detection and quantitation limits were found to be 0.892 and 2.969 μg⋅cm−3, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied for the determination of phenylephrine hydrochloride in pharmaceutical nasal drops formulations. The results demonstrated that the procedure is accurate, precise and reproducible (relative standard deviation < 1 %), while being simple, cheap and less time consuming, and hence can be suitably applied for the estimation of phenylephrine hydrochloride in different dosage forms.

A new simple, accurate and reasonably sensitive spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of reserpine based on the oxidation with sodium metaperiodate in the presence of acetic acid and coupling with 3-methyl-2-benzo thiazolinone hydazone hydrochloride (MBTH) to form highly blue coloured product showing maximum absorbance at 630 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the range 0.2–1.6 µg ml−1. The relative standard deviation was found to be less than 1%. The proposed method can be applied for the estimation of reserpine in tablets with no evidence of interference from excipients.

This article described the use of zinc-dithizonate for spectrophotometric  determination of Hg(II) in aqueous environment. Zinc dithizonate was found to react selectively with Hg(II) to give a reddish yellow complex  with  optimum  absorbance  at  pH  1.0. This complex was found to be useful for  spectrophotometric determination of aqueous Hg(II) in the concentration range of 1.0 - 12.0 ppm. This method was also found to be reproducible with calculated relative standard deviation, RSD of 1.08%. At 1:1 mole ratio, interfering ions such as CH COO·, Pb2+ and Ag+ were found to interfere at degree 3 of interference of more than 10.0%.

Abstract A spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of hexachlorophene (HCP) and zinc phenolsulfonate (ZPS) in aerosol deodorants. An ethanolie solution containing hexachlorophene and zinc phenolsulfonate was partitioned between water and chloroform, and the zinc phenolsulfonate was determined in the water phase at 270 mμ. The chloroform phase, containing hexachlorophene, was extracted with 0.1N KOH, and the hexachlorophene was determined in the KOH phase at 320 mμ. The method has been applied successfully to commercial samples of aerosol deodorants. The relative standard deviation at the 2 sigma level is ± 3.5% for hexachlorophene and ± 2.6% for zinc phenolsulfonate.

Spectrophotometric determination of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) based on p-toluidine as a reagent has been studied. The absorption intensities were measured at a wavelength range of 250 to 500 nm to record the absorption spectra before and after reaction with the HMF. The solution response was obtained at pH 3. The concentration of HMF was 5 × 10-3M, whereas for p-toluidine was 8 × 10-3M .The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of reproducibility was 3.33% when concentration of p-toluidine 3 × 10-3M was used .The photostability was found to be good with 1.9 %. M was used . The photostability was found to be good with 1.9 %.

A simple, accurate, precise, rapid, economical and a high sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of tadalafil in pharmaceutical preparations and industrial wastewater samples, which shows a maximum absorbance at 204 nm in 1:1 ethanol-water. Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 1-7?g/ mL ,with molar absorptivity and Sandell ? s sensitivity of 0.783x105l/mol.cm and 4.97 ng/cm2respectively, relative standard deviation of the method was less than 1.7%, and accuracy (average recovery %) was 100 ± 0. 13. The limits of detection and quantitation are 0.18 and 0.54 µg .ml-1, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of tadalafil in some pharmaceutical formulations (tablets) and industrial wastewater samples. The proposed method was validated by sensitivity and precision which proves suitability for the routine analysis of tadalafil in true samples.

Abstract A new second-order-derivative spectrophotometric method using zero-crossing technique measures quinapril (QUI) and hydrochlorothiazide (HYD) in 2-component mixtures. The procedure does not require prior separation of components from the sample. QUI was determined at a wavelength of 211.6 nm (zero-crossing wavelength point of HYD). Similarly, HYD was measured at 270.8 nm (zero-crossing wavelength point of QUI). Calibration graphs were constructed over the concentration range of 4.0 to 24.0 μ/mL for QUI and 2.5 to 15.0 μg/mL for HYD. Detection and quantitation limits were 0.85 and 2.5 μg/mL for QUI and 0.12 and 0.4 μg/mL for HYD, respectively. The accuracy (recovery 100.5–102%), precision (relative standard deviation less than 3.5% for QUI and 1.5% for HYD), selectivity, and sensitivity of the elaborated methods were satisfactory. The proposed method was applied successfully for the determination of both drugs in QUI-HYD tablets.

The apparent molar absorptivity (ε) of the ion associate was determined to be 8.35×104L mol-1cm-1. The calibration curve was linear in the concentration range of 1.0-50 ng mL-1of Al3+with a correlation coefficient of 0.9997. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.621 ng mL. The relative standard deviation (RSD) at 10 and 30 ng mL-1of aluminium were 1.580 and 2.410% (n=7) respectively. The method was applied for measuring the amount of aluminium in water samples.

A simple and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace selenium (IV) is described, based on its catalytic effect on the reduction arsenazo III (AsA III) with sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2) in a solution of 0.02 mol/L sulfuric acid and in the presence of cationic micellar media. The reaction rate is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of AsA III at 550 nm with a fixed-time method. The decrease in the absorbance of AsA III is proportional to the concentration of Se(IV) in the range 0.16–1.0 µg/L after a fixed time of 4–10 min from the initiation of the reaction. The limit of detection is 0.049 µg/L Se(IV). The influence of th e factors such as acidity, concentration of reactants, type and concentration of surfactants, reactive time, temperature and co-existing ions on the reaction is discussed. The optimum reaction conditions of reaction are established and some kinetic parameters are determined; the apparent activation energy of catalytic reaction is 59.51 kJ/mol. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicate determination of 0.02, and 0.01µg/25mL Se(IV) was 2.0 % and 2.4 %, respectively. Combined with sulphydryl dextrane gel (SDG) separation and enriching, the method has been successfully applied to the determination of Se (IV) in foodstuff and human hair samples with the relative standard deviation of 2.1 %–5.8 % and the recovery of 97.0 %–103.3 %, the results are in good agreement with those provided by ICP-AES method.
