Abstract:
In this work, it was found that the weak signal from KMnO4-Na2SO3 reaction was greatly enhanced by Eu3+-metoprolol tartrate complex. Basted on this fact, a new flow injection chemiluminescence method for the determination of metoprolol tartrate was proposed. The linear range and detection limit for determination of metoprololtartrate are 50×10-7~10×10-5and 1×10-7g/mL, respectively. The relative standard deviation is 14%(n=11) for a level of 10×10-6g/mL metoprolol tartrate. This method was applied to the determination of metoprolol tartrate in human plasma and urine samples.
