Stability-indicating determination of adrenaline in injections containing procaine
1National Institute of Pharmacy, Budapest 5, P.O.B. 450, H-1372 Hungary.
Abstract:
Adrenaline was determined in injections containing procaine in a 1000-fold excess by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography using UV detection at 205 nm and aqueous sulphuric acid (100 micromol/l) as eluent. The relative standard deviation was 2.1%, and the method was selective in the presence of adrenaline degradation products. Changes of the capacity factor with pH and ionic strength of the eluent were studied, and a simple model is suggested to explain the retention data.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
