Abstract
The coupling of sequential injection analysis (SIA) and fluorimetric solid phase transduction is here applied to the determination of paracetamol in pharmaceuticals. The reaction product between the analyte and sodium nitrite in acidic medium is inserted, after alkalinization, in the system. This product is transitorily retained on the active solid sensing phase (the anionic solid support QAE A-25) developing its native fluorescence signal, which is measured at 325/430 nm for the excitation and emission wavelengths respectively. The described system is linear within the range 6.6–80 μg ml −1, with a 2 μg ml −1 detection limit and a 2.5% R.S.D ( n = 10). The proposed fluorimetric SIA optosensor has been applied to the determination of paracetamol in several pharmaceutical preparations, obtaining satisfactory results.
