The Comparison of Methods for Determination of Procaine in Medical Formulations
Baptistová, Adéla ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Červený, Václav (referee)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to compare four analytical methods for determination of procaine hydrochloride in medical formulations in terms of precision and measurement trueness, and its time, and financial cost. The selected methods are: titration with potassium bromate, titration with sodium nitrite, UV spectrophotometry, VIS spectrophotometry. Three injection solutions of different concentrations (0.2%, 0.5%, and 1.0% of procaine) were analysed. VIS spectrophotometry provides the most precise results, whereas determination by UV spectrophotometry is the least precise. Measurement trueness is found for UV spectrophotometry and both titrations. UV spectrophotometry is the cheapest method, while titration with sodium nitrite is the most expensive method. Titration with potassium bromate is the least time-consuming method, while VIS spectrophotometry is the most time- consuming method. Keywords: procaine, bromatometric titration, titration with sodium nitrite, UV and VIS spectrophotometry
