Popis: A simple and sensitive thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) method coupled with an image analysis technique was developed for the quantitative determination of disulfiram. Separation was performed on RP-18 plates with methanol—water 90:10 (v/v) as mobile phase. Disulfiram was detected using copper(II) ions (producing a yellow complex). Digital images of TLC plate chromatograms were converted into peak chromatograms using TLSee software, and quantitative analysis was conducted. Linearity was obtained in the range of 1.0–10 µg/spot. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.26 µg/spot and 0.86 µg/spot, respectively. Quantitative determination of disulfiram in Anticol was also performed, with a recovery of 100.3%. The method was applied for the determination of disulfiram in a urine-spiked sample.
