title: [Spectrophotometric assay of polyethyene glycol in urine using ammonium ferrothiocyanate aqueous-chloroform system].
abstract: A spectrophotometric method for the quantitative determination of polyethylene glycol-600 (PEG-600) in urine is based on partitioning a chromophore present in ammonium ferrothiocyanate reagent into an aqueous phase and a chloroform phase in the presence of PEG. The method is simple and reproducible, and can detect PEG in a concentration of 0.25 g/L. It gives a linear response over a range of 0.25-2.5 g/L. The recovery of PEG-600 in urine is 107% and relative standard deviation is less than 5%.
