This diploma thesis is focused to the determination of procaine using flow injection and sequential injection analysis coupled with spectrophotometric detection. This determination is based on the reaction of procaine with a colouring agent, 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonic acid. An orange coloured product is formed, which is determined spectrophotometrically at the wavelength 484 nm. The high of the absorption signal of the product is directly proportional to the concentration of procaine. The aim of this work was to optimize the parameters of both methods of flow analysis so that the limit concentration of procaine can be as low as possible and at the same time, high sensibility is achieved. The next step was to apply these methods on the determination of procaine in real samples. It was found that in flow injection analysis, the absorbance of procaine hydrochloride obeys Beer's law for concentrations from 2.5 to 120 µg/ml. The linear regression equation of calibration graph was y = 0.0059x - 0.0051, with a linear regression correlation coefficient 0.9993. Limit of detection was 0.72 µg/ml. Effects of standing time (stopped-flow), flow rate, concentration of colouring agent, pH and the volume of the sample loop have been examined and optimized. It was also found that in sequential injection...
