Abstract:
Two methods for the determination of potassium nitrate in mouthwashes, used against dentin hypersensitivity, have been simultaneously implemented in an sequence injection analysis (SIA) system. In addition to in-line dilution of the samples, the equipment simultaneously detected potassium and nitrate using two tubular potentiometric detectors, selective to each ion, providing a real-time assessment of the quality of the results. Both determinations were shown to be precise and accurate and the obtained results do not statistically differ from those furnished by applying the AES and HPLC reference methods.

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...
