Titrimetric determination of chloramine-T and some aldoses by amplification reactions.

ABSTRACT

A titrimetric method with amplification has been worked out for the determination of chloramine-T and certain aldoses. It is based on Leipert determination of iodide produced in the case of chloramine-T by reduction of the determinand with excess of iodide, and extraction and subsequent reduction of the iodine liberated. In the other case, the aldoses are oxidized with iodine, the surplus oxidant is extracted, and the residual iodide is determined. The method is applicable to chloramine-T in the range 0.01-3 mg, with a relative error between -3.0 and -0.4% and a relative standard deviation of 0.6-0.8%, depending on the amount present, and to 0.05-1 mg of glucose, galactose or arabinose, or 0.1-2 mg of lactose or maltose, with a relative standard deviation of 1.4% for > 0.5 mg of aldose.
