Determinação de paracetamol pela inibição da reação quimiluminescente do luminol-hipoclorito de sódio em um sistema de análise em fluxo empregando o conceito de multicomutação Determination of paracetamol using a flow injection analysis with multicommutation and chemiluminescence detection

Abstract

A flow injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of paracetamol in pharmaceutical formulations is described. It is based on the consumption of the sodium hypochlorite by paracetamol and decreases of the analytical signal. The analytical curve was linear in the paracetamol concentration range from 5.0 x 10-6 to 5.0 x 10-5 mol L-1, with a detection limit of 1.8 x 10-6 mol L-1. The RSDs were 2.0 and 1.2% respectively for 2.0 x 10-5 and 4.0 x 10-5 mol L-1 paracetamol solutions (n = 10) and a sampling frequency of 180 h-1 was obtained.
