title: Mixed reagents in multicomponent flow-injection analysis Simultaneous determination of iron and copper in blood serum with mixed bathocuproinedisulphonate and bathophenanthrolinedisulphonate or ferrozine.
abstract: Mixtures of 0.6mM bathocuproinedisulphonate (BC) and 0.2mM bathophenanthrolinedisulphonate (BP) or 2mM BC and 0.2mM ferrozine (FZ) were used for a rapid determination of iron and copper in deproteinated blood serum in the presence of 0.1M formate buffer (pH 3.5), 10mM ascorbic acid and 0.3M trichloroacetic acid, by two variants of multicomponent FIA with a diode-array detector (MC-FIA). Merging zones MC-FIA is especially suitable for the determination of 0.7-33muM Fe and 0.4-35muMCu, for Cu:Fe concentration ratios from 10:1 to 1:10and with RSD <3 or 2% for Fe or RSD <6 or 5% for Cu in artificial mixtures and deproteinated standard blood sera, respectively, and relative errors of less than 3-5%. The concentrations of both elements were calculated according to a simple computer program (ORTHO) for overdetermined systems (10 or 11 wavelengths), but evaluation at the absorption maxima for the individual chelates (at 2 or 3 wavelengths) also gave satisfactory results.
