EXAMPLE OF DETERMINATION

First example, paracetamol:
  • Raw material
  • Lindilane®

Second example, sulfamethoxazole:
  • Raw material
  • Bactrim®

C10H11N3O3S  ;   Mr : 253.3 g.mol-1
 
Sulfamethoxazole in the form of raw material or in the form of a Bactrim® tablet (combined with trimethoprim) will be quantified using UV spectrophotometry.

Acidic medium: lmax : 265nm ; E1% = A11 = 175
Basic medium: lmax : 256nm ; E1% = A11 = 673
