MICRO DETERMINATION OF DOPAMINE IN BIOLOGICAL SAMPLES BY COUPLING REACTION by AHMED JASSIM MUKLIVE AL-OGAIDI

“… The paper presents the development of an analytical method to determine dopamine by coupling reaction with diazotized solution of 4-Aminoantipyrine in basic media to give a compound with a single azo dye salt having orange color soluble in water. A calibration curve for a range of concentration (9.14x10-5 – 2.28x10-3 μg.mL-1) was realized and the value of molar absortivity was 1.5x103 L.mol-1.cm-1, with a relative standard deviation more than 1.26% and a recovery 98.77%. …”
