title: Determination of penicillamine in pharmaceuticals and human plasma by capillary electrophoresis with in-column fiber optics light-emitting diode induced fluorescence detection.
abstract: In this paper, a capillary electrophoresis (CE) system with in-column fiber optics light-emitting diode (LED) induced fluorescence detection was developed for the determination of penicillamine (PA). The influence of buffer concentration, buffer pH, applied voltage and injection time was systematically investigated. Optimum separation conditions were obtained with 10 mM borate buffer at pH 9.1, applied voltage 20 kV and 8 s hydrodynamic injection at 30 mbar. The detection system displayed linear dynamic range from 3.2 x 10(-7) to 4.8 x 10(-5) mol L(-1) with a correlation coefficient of 0.9991 and good repeatability (R.S.D.=2.46%). The method was applied to the determination of PA in commercial tablets and human plasma, which the recoveries of standard PA added to tablets and human plasma sample were found to be in the range of 96.26-102.68 and 91.10-99.35%, respectively. The proposed method is cheap, rapid, easy, and accurate, and can be successfully applied to the formulation analysis and bioanalysis.
