Spectrophotometric and titrimetric determination of catecholamines.
Ammonium metavanadate is used to determine adrenaline, noradrenaline, isopropylnoradrenaline and methyldopa by titrimetric and photometric procedures. Oxidation of these catecholamines produces aminochrome derivatives which can be measured spectrophotometrically at 485 nm. Beer's law is obeyed over the ranges 0.09-0.90 mg for adrenaline, 0.07-0.65 mg for noradrenaline, 0.07-0.75 mg for isopropylnoradrenaline and 0.10-0.95 mg for methyldopa.
