Abstract

This paper describes the use of a thin-layered dual-band electrochemical cell operating at flow conditions to determine dipyrone (sodium salt of 1-phenil-2,3-dimethyl-4-methylaminomethanesulfonate-5-pyrazolone) by reaction with electrogenerated iodine. The electrolytic cell consisted of two closely spaced gold electrodes, the upper stream electrode serving as the generator electrode and the downstream electrode working as the collector electrode. A linear dynamic range from 2 to 15 μmol l −1 dipyrone was obtained by using a sample volume of 100 μl, with a detection limit of 1.1 μmol l −1. Standard deviation (S.D.) of 3.4% for 20 repetitive injections of a 40 μmol l −1 dipyrone solution and sampling frequency of 90 h −1 were achieved. The results obtained with the thin-layered dual-band electrochemical cell for dipyrone determination in three different pharmaceutical samples compared well with those found by iodimetry with coulometrically generated iodine.
