A recent study conducted by Shinshu University in Nagano, Japan, focused on the development of a potential-modulated electrochemiluminescence measurement system for the selective and sensitive determination of the controlled drug codeine. Codeine is a commonly used analgesic drug that has a high risk of abuse due to its availability as an over-the-counter drug. The researchers aimed to create a method for accurately quantifying codeine in the field, as no commercial analytical kit currently exists for this purpose. The proposed method, which combined potential modulation with electrochemiluminescence, demonstrated higher sensitivity and selectivity for codeine detection compared to conventional methods. The study concluded that codeine could be selectively determined from other compounds in medications, with a low detection limit of 150 ng mL(-1). [Extracted from the article] |
