Lab-made spectrometer for determination of tetracycline in pharmaceuticals
Abstract:
The spectrophotometer is a common instrument in the chemical laboratory and is used in various
applications such as in industry, agriculture, education, and in pharmaceuticals. However, most of them were
not portable for field analysis and also expensive and complicated for invention in the general laboratory. In
this work, the simple spectrometer was invented in our laboratory with simple components such as a laser
pointer, light-dependent resistor (LDR), plastic holder, and multi-meter. The blue-light laser pointer was
chosen as a light source for the determination of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) based on complex
formation with Fe(III) which produced a red color solution. The optimization was studied such as the
concentration of Fe(III) and pH. The proposed method presented linearity in the concentration range 1.15 x 104
- 5.74 x 10 mol L-1 with R2 0.9987. The limit of detection (LOD) was 1.44 x 10 mol L-' and the percentage
relative standard deviation (%RSD) for repeatability and reproducibility were 1.30 and 3.26, respectively. The
proposed spectrometer was applied to determine TCH in pharmaceuticals compared to commercial
spectrophotometers; it was found that there were no significant differences between the results of both
equipment with 95% confidence. The lab-made spectrometer was an uncomplicated invention and successfil
application for the analysis of TCH.
