An original strategy to evaluate analytical procedures is proposed and applied to verify if the flow-based methods, generally favorable in terms of green chemistry, are competitive when their evaluation also relies on other criteria. To this end, eight methods for the determination of zinc in waters, including four flow-based ones, were compared and the Red–Green–Blue (RGB) model was exploited. This model takes into account several features related to the general quality of an analytical method, namely, its analytical efficiency, compliance with the green analytical chemistry, as well as practical and economic usefulness. Amongst the investigated methods, the best was the flow-based spectrofluorimetric one, and a negative example was that one involving a flow module, ICP ionization and MS detection, which was very good in analytical terms, but worse in relation to other aspects, which significantly limits its overall potential. Good assessments were also noted for non-flow electrochemical methods, which attract attention with a high degree of balance of features and, therefore, high versatility. The original attempt to confront several worldwide accepted analytical strategies, although to some extent subjective and with limitations, provides interesting information and indications, establishing a novel direction towards the development and evaluation of analytical methods.

Green Analytical Chemistry

Implementing green analytical methodologies has been one of the main objectives of the analytical chemistry community for the past two decades. Sample preparation and extraction procedures are two parts of analytical method development that can be best adapted to meet the principles of green analytical chemistry. The goal of transitioning to green analytical chemistry is to establish new methods that perform comparably—or superiorly—to traditional methods. The use of assessment tools to provide an objective and concise evaluation of the analytical methods’ adherence to the principles of green analytical chemistry is critical to achieving this goal. In this review, we describe various sample preparation and extraction methods that can be used to increase the greenness of a given analytical method. We gave special emphasis to modern microextraction technologies and their important contributions to the development of new green analytical methods. Several manuscripts in which the greenness of a solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technique was compared to other sample preparation strategies using the Green Analytical Procedure Index (GAPI), a green assessment tool, were reviewed.

A simple, rapid, economic and green analytical method was validated for the determination of secnidazole in tablets. The aim was to contribute to the green analytical chemistry since it has low use of organic solvent and low production of toxic waste. For the HPLC-UV method, the mobile phase was a mixture of purified water + 0.7 % acetic acid and ethanol (78:22, v/v), flow rate was 1.3 mL min-1 on column CN Phenomenex Luna (250 x 4.60 mm, 5 μm particle size), injection volume was 20 μL with UV detection at 318 nm and retention time of 4.26 minutes. The method was linear over the concentration range of 5-100 μg mL-1 (r = 0.9998) with limits of detection and quantitation of 0.533 e 1.615 μg mL-1, respectively. The precision of the method showed RSD less than 2 %. The accuracy determined by the average recoveries was 99.58 %. The secnidazole tablets were subjected to oxidation, acid, alkaline, neutral and photolysis degradation as stress conditions and the method was considered as indicative of stability. The method is adequate and safe to be a great alternative method in routine quality control analyzes for determination and quantification of secnidazole tablets.

AbstractFor at least three decades, the analytical chemistry community is striving to apply the principles of Green Chemistry to the development of analytical methods. Many efforts have been made to outline the concept of Green Analytical Chemistry, which helped to redefine analytical procedures and drastically changed the philosophy of analytical method development. This book chapter describes the 12 principles of Green Analytical Chemistry and various methodologies for the assessment of the greenness of analytical methods. The three main steps in the analytical method development – sample preparation, separation and detection- are described in a “green perspective”. Special emphasis is given to the description of green sample preparation procedures, in particular to Solid Phase Microextraction, that, since its introduction in 1989 by Janusz Pawliszyn, has drastically revolutionized the methodology of sample preparation, providing a convenient and green alternative to already existing methods.

Development And Validation

Analytical method is the most important part of chemical analysis, an action guide for the analyst and carrier of information about the metrological characteristics. To confirm the parameters and legitimize the methodology, Russian specialists traditionally use the procedure of metrological certification in accordance with GOST 8.563-2009. Validation of analytical procedures or analytical methods is a concept recently accepted in Russia and causes confusion in many domestic experts. However, this internationally accepted concept is actively used for long to assure the quality of chemical analysis. The European Community for Metrology in Analytical Chemistry (Eurachem) has developed a guide to validation of analytical methods «The Fitness for Purpose of Analytical Methods»; many articles have been published on this issue. This article is devoted to generalization of the similar features and individual differences in certification, validation and verification of the methods of chemical analysis. Metrological characteristics of the analytical methods are also considered. An emphasis is made on the procedure of estimating the uncertainty as the most important stage in the development and validation of the analytical method.

Abstract Background Cephalothin (CET), a first generation cephalosporin, is the most efficient cephalosporin against resistant microorganisms. Many studies found in literature and pharmacopeias proposes analytical methods and, as most commonly, HPLC and microbiological assays. Objective This paper shows a brief review of analytical method to quantify CET with a green analytical chemistry approach. Methods The research data were collected from the literature and official compendia. Results Most of the analytical methods to determine CET were performed by HPLC and agar diffusion in pharmaceuticals, blood, urine or water. Other analytical methods were found, as UV, Vis, iodometry, fluorimetry, IR/Raman, electrochemical among others, but, in less quantity. One important aspect is that these methods use organic and toxic solvents like methanol and acetonitrile, and only about 4% of the methods found uses water as solvent. Conclusions In this way, researches about analytical methods focused on green analytical chemistry for CET are of great importance and very relevant to optimize its analysis in pharmaceutical industries and to guarantee the quality of the product. More than just the development of new techniques it is possible to enhance of the ones that already exists applying the green analytical chemistry principles. In this way, it will be possible to reduce the environment impacts caused by these analytical procedures. Highlights This work shows a brief review of literature and pharmacopeias of analytical methods to quantify CET. Its quality control can be updated to meet the needs of current analytical chemistry and to fit into sustainable and eco-friendly analyzes.

Cefadroxil, an oral antimicrobial, presents few techniques optimized for the reduction of solvents and toxic residues and/or non-use of them. So, a quantitative, new and miniaturized method for determination of cefadroxil monohydrate in capsules has been developed and validated by spectrophotometric method in the visible region according to the international guidelines. The analyzes were performed using microplates containing 96 wells, 1 % of phenolphthalein and sodium hydroxide 0.1 M as reagent at 552 nm. The method was (i) linear in the range of 15-115 µg mL-1, (ii) selective when comparing standard, sample, adjuvants and color reagent, (iii) precise with deviations below 4 %, (iv) accurate when comparing the proposed method with the HPLC method, (v) robusts by making small and deliberate modifications to the method, (vi) besides being fast, low cost, eco-friendly and generates minimal amount of waste. The method can be applied to the routine quality control of cefadroxil monohydrate in capsules and an effective and accessible alternative that contemplates the concepts of current and sustainable green analytical chemistry.

Clinical Laboratories

A technique is presented to assess objectively the reliability of analytical methods used routinely in clinical laboratories. From the Netherlands National Coupled External/Internal Quality Control Programme information can be gathered about the performance of routine analytical methods. The performance of a method in a trial is described by four ‘features’: the accuracy of a method; its day to-day precision; its susceptibility to give erroneous results (eg, extreme bias, drift, extreme week-to-week variations); and its susceptibility to give systematic errors for different laboratories. These four features obtained in a trial for a given analytical method determine the position of a ‘pattern’ in the four-dimensional space. The results of six trials discussed in this paper provided six ‘patterns' per analytical method. Using pattern recognition techniques, clusters of patterns were detected in the four-dimensional space. A weighting procedure revealed the relative importance of the various features for discrimination between the detected clusters. For various blood components, different features are of importance for this discrimination. Patterns belonging to the same clusters appeared to be patterns of the same (or comparable) analytical methods; thus analytical methods could be distinguished from each other. The means of the feature values of the patterns in a cluster determine the quality of that cluster. Thus the quality of an analytical method can be objectively assessed. Some tentative conclusions on the validity of analytical methods are given.

The Impact

Abstract Background: Atorvastatin, a lipid-regulating drug, was the best-selling drug in the world in the early 2000s. Thus, monitoring of this drug is important because it is accessible to a large portion of the population. In addition, its quality control is fundamental to provide quality medicines. Method of analysis can be the first step in the rational use of pharmaceuticals. Objective/Methods: In this context, a critical review of analytical methods present in the literature and official compendia for the pharmaceutical quality control of atorvastatin was made. Results: Among the analytical methods most used in the evaluation of atorvastatin, HPLC is highlighted, followed by HPLC coupled to MS, and spectrophotometry in UV. Tablets are the most studied pharmaceutical samples, and plasma is the most studied biological matrix. In the literature, studies with atorvastatin-based pharmaceutical products are more common than biological materials. Acetonitrile is the organic solvent most commonly used in the methods surveyed to evaluate atorvastatin. Conclusions: Currently, awareness of the impact that the analytical choice has on the health of the operator and the environment is growing. Therefore, the suitability of existing methods for the determination of atorvastatin can be made to adhere to the current analytical chemistry. In this way, the analytical, environmental, and human consciousness will remain united. Highlights: Although the literature shows interesting methods from an economic and environmental point of view, such as UV, Vis miniaturized, and TLC, they can still be improved to meet the requirements of the current sustainable analytical chemistry.
