ABSTRACT
RESUMO Este trabalho descreveu e comparou quatro estudos entre si que utilizaram métodos automáticos em fluxo com detecção espectrofotométrica e a reação de oxidação do diclofenaco para determinar diclofenaco em formulações farmacêuticas e fluidos corporais. Para isso, utilizamos os seguintes artigos: Versatility of a multicommuted flow system in the spectrometric determination of three analytes, Sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the assay of anti-inflammatory diclofenac sodium in pharmaceutical preparations, Screening of conditions controlling spectrophotometric sequential injection analysis e Sequential injection spectrophotometric determination of diclofenac in urine and pharmaceutical formulations e detalhamos as metodologias empregadas, os resultados, conclusões obtidas e comparamos entre eles os limites de detecção, desvio padrão relativo e a frequência analítica. Os resultados mostraram diferenças significativas entre métodos empregados e a utilização do Sistema automático do tipo Análise por Injeção Sequencial, apesar deste possuir menor frequência analítica.
SUMMARY This study described and compared four studies that used automatic flow methods with spectrophotometric detection and the oxidation reaction of diclofenac to determine diclofenac in pharmaceutical formulations and body fluids. For this, the following articles were used: Versatility of a multicommuted flow system in the spectrometric determination of three analytes, Sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the assay of anti-inflammatory diclofenac sodium in pharmaceutical preparations, Screening of conditions controlling spectrophotometric sequential injection analysis and Sequential injection spectrophotometric determination of diclofenac in urine and pharmaceutical formulations and we detail the methodologies used, the results, the conclusions obtained and compare the limits of detection, relative standard deviation and analytical frequency. The results showed significant differences between the employed methods and the use of the Automatic System of the Sequential Injection Analysis type, although this one has a lower analytical frequency.
