Description:
A simple flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method was proposed for the determination of nitrofurazone. Strong CL signal was generated during the reaction of nitrofurazone with H"2O"2 and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) in alkaline condition. The CL signal was proportional to the nitrofurazone concentration in the range 1.0x10^-^7 to 1.0x10^-^5gmL^-^1. The detection limit was 2x10^-^8gmL^-^1 nitrofurazone and the relative standard deviation was less than 4% (6.0x10^-^6gmL^-^1 nitrofurazone, n=11). The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of nitrofurazone in compound furacillin nasal drops, human plasma and urine samples. The CL reaction mechanism was also discussed briefly. Singlet oxygen generated in the reaction between H"2O"2 and NBS was suggested to be participated in the CL reaction.
