Capillary zone electrophoresis was employed for the determination of diclof
enac sodium using an end-column amperometric detection with a carbon fiber
microelectrode, at a constant potential of 0.83 V vs. saturated calomel ele
ctrode. The optimum conditions of separation and detection are 4.90.10(-3)
mol/l Na2HPO4-3.10.10(-3) mol/l NaH2PO4 (pH 7.0) for the buffer solution, 1
0 kV for the separation voltage, 5 kV and 10 s for the injection voltage an
d the injection time, respectively. The limit of detection is 2.5.10(-6) mo
l/l or 5.2 fmol (S/N=2). The relative standard deviation is 0.8% for the mi
gration time and 4.7% for the electrophoretic peak current. The method was
applied to the determination of diclofenac sodium in human urine. (C) 2000
