The present work describes a newly developed method for the spectrophotometric determination of cymoxanil in soil, water and vegetable samples. The detection of the target chemical substance is based on the reaction of cyanide released from the hydrolysed product of cymoxanil with potassium iodide-potassium iodate to form a blue-coloured complex in the presence of starch solution. This complex is water-soluble and shows maximum absorbance at 580 nm. For this complex, Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration range of 2-50 μg mL−1 with molar absorptivity 1.2×105 L mol-1cm-1 and Sandell’s sensitivity 1.0×10-3 µg cm-2. The reproducibility was assessed by carrying out seven days replicate analysis of a solution containing 10 µgmL-1 of cymoxanil in a final solution of a volume of 10 mL. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation for the absorbance value were found to be ± 2.9×10-3 and 1.6% respectively. The proposed method is free from the interference of other toxicants. The analytical parameters were optimized and the method was applied to the determination of cymoxanil in water, soil, and vegetable samples.

Simple and sensitive spectrophotometric scheme was described for the determination of fenvalerate in environmental samples. The scheme was based on the hydrolysis of 1 N of 5 mL NaOH to form cyanohydrin. The cyanohydrin is reacted with bromine and pyridine to form glutaconic aldehyde, which is then coupled with p-Dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to give yellow dye having maximum absorbance at 440 nm. Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range of 0.6- 6.2 µg in a nal solution volume of 25 mL. The molar absorptivity of the colored system is 3.84×104 L mol-1cm-1 and Sandell’s sensitivity is 2.4×10-3 µg cm-2. The reproducibility assessed by carrying out seven days replicate analysis of a solution containing 0.6 µg of fenvalerate in a nal solution volume of 25 mL. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation for the absorbance value were found to be ± 3.4×10-3 and 1.5% respectively. The proposed scheme is sensitive and free from the interference of other toxicants. The analytical parameters were optimized and the scheme was applied to the determination of fenvalerate in environmental samples.

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.

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.

A simple, fast, reproducible and sensitive method for the flotation- spectrophotometric determination of Al3+is reported. 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.

The proposed method is based on flotation–dissolution an easy, impressible, extractive spectrophotometric determination, explained for easy investigation of the organophosphate pesticide phorate (O,O-diethyl S-[ethylthiomethyl] phosphorodithioate) on trace levels. A molybdophospho complex is generated when prorate is treated with ammonium molybdate in acidic medium. As an ion associate complex with methylene blue the complex is present in between of the water and organic layers which is extracted and then dissolved with acetone. The greenish blue complex produced show absorption maxima at 660 nm. Beer’s law range is found to be 0.5 to 16 µg per 10 ml for phorate. The molar absorptivity is 0.989×103 L mol-1 cm-1 and sandell’s sensitivity is 1.00×10-5 µg cm-2. Also calculated the standard deviation and relative standard deviation for the above method were ±0.006 and 1.95% respectively.

Abstract A modern, accurate, simple and sensitive spectrophotometric procedure is tested for the appreciation of metoclopramide medicine as perspicuous form, as well as in various kinds of pharmaceutical dosages. The procedure depends on the interaction of metoclopramide (MCP) medicine and orcinol reagent by utilizing azo coupling reaction. The orcinol in NaOH solution middle to give a latterly ligand which reacts with copper (II) to output the complex with strong yellow color at 50°C. The resulting complex is water soluble, stable and can be determined spectrophotometrically at wavelength 459 nm. The calibration curve absorbance vs. concentration was established in the concentration range 0.6-12 ppm, and the curve followed the Beer’s law in this range. The procedure precision is given by the average recovery of 99.91% sequentially, as well as by the average relative standard deviation 0.70%, related to the amount of drug. The sensitivity is established at molar absorptivity 1.9044×104 l‧cm-1‧mol-1. The Sandell sensitivity is tested as 0.002 μg/cm2. The analytical results for the tested procedure agree with the official procedure. The interferences from medicine additives were tested. The established procedure is successfully examined on the appreciation of MCP in diverse kinds of pharmaceuticals.
