We present a video-densitometric quantification method for the pain killer known as diclofenac and ibuprofen. These non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were separated on cyanopropyl bonded plates using CH2Cl2, methanol, cyclohexane (95+5+40, v/v) as mobile phase. The quantification is based on a bio-effective-linked analysis using vibrio fischeri bacteria. Within 10 minutes a CCD-camera registers the white light of the light-emitting bacteria. Diclofenac and ibuprofen effectively suppress the bacterial light emission which can be used for quantification within a linear range of 10 to 2000 ng. The detection limit for ibuprofen is 20 ng and the limit of quantification 26 ng per zone. Measurements were carried out using a 16-bit ST-1603ME CCD camera with 1.56 megapixels [from Santa Barbara Instrument Group, Inc., Santa Barbara, USA]. The range of linearity covers more than two magnitudes because the extended Kubelka-Munk expression is used for data transformation [1]. The separation method is inexpensive, fast and reliable. Ibuprofen is named after its chemical description: iso-butyl-propanoic phenolic acid. Both pain killers are world-widein use and both substances are stable in aqueous solution. Both substances are mainly excreted in the urine.
Produzierende Unternehmen sehen sich auch zukünftig mit stark wachsenden Herausforderungen konfrontiert und gegenübergestellt. Dies ist vor allem durch eine zunehmend dynamischere Umwelt mit stark schwankenden Veränderungen bedingt, die es erforderlich macht, sich schnell und flexibel auf diese Veränderungen einzustellen bzw. anzupassen.
