Abstract:A simple spectrofluorimetric analysis of a local anaesthetic named procaine using a specific labelling reagent for primary amino groups, has been developed. Because procaine shows very weak native fluorescence, the technique of spectrofluorimetry has been very much limited for its determination. A detail study of the variables affecting the derivatisation reaction (pH, fluorescamine (FC) concentration, temperature, reaction time), have minuciously been studied. The minimum detectable quantity is estimated as 7… Show more
