| Popis: | In this article, a flow system developed for the amperometric determination of a great variety of pharmaceuticals that are known to lead the rapid poisoning of the working electrode surface is described. The referred system was made up of two parallel flow channels that shared the voltammetric detector of tubular configuration, whose movement in the manifold followed the concept of multi-site location of detector. In this way, after each measurement, the conditioning of the working electrode was possible through the passage by its surface of a regeneration solution without implying the alteration of the carrier that flowed in the analytical channel of the manifold. The methodology proposed was evaluated through the determination of two drugs belonging to two distinct therapeutic groups: an antihypertensive (diltiazem) and a non-steroid anti-inflammatory (nimesulide). The results obtained after evaluation of various pharmaceutical formulations on the Portuguese market were in the case of diltiazem compared with those supplied by the reference US Pharmacopoeia XXIV method, with no statistically significant differences having been observed for a confidence interval of 95%. In the case of nimesulide, since no official reference method exists, a series of recovery experiments were proceeded with and a mean value of 101.1% with a R.S.D. of 0.7% was obtained. |
