Integral UV Spectrophotometric Methods for Determination of Clopidogrel Bisulphate and Metamizole Sodium in Rinse Waters from Industrial Equipment

In this paper, methods for the determination of clopidogrel bisulphate and metamizole sodium in rinse waters from industrial equipment, using multiwavelength UV spectrometry and the calculation of areas under curves, are proposed. Spectra were recorded in an aqueous medium without preliminary pH adjustment. A numerical integration of the spectra was performed in the wavelength range of 210 to 290 nm for clopidogrel bisulphate, and 220 to 320 nm for metamizole sodium. The methods enable the determination of clopidogrel bisulphate and metamizole sodium in solution in the concentration range of 1–100 mg/L, do not require lengthy sample preparation and complex analytical equipment, and are suitable for the routine determination of these drugs in rinse waters from industrial equipment.
