Determination of ascorbic acid by flow injection chemiluminescence suppression method

chemiluminescence suppression method for the determination of ascorbic acid based on Luminol-KIO4-H2O2-ascorbic acid system was established. The linear range for ascorbic acid is 1.0 x 10(-7) similar to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol/L and the detection limit is 6.0 x 10(-8) mol/L. The relative standard deviation (n = 11) is 1.0% for 8.0 x 10(-7) mol/L ascorbic acid. The method has been used to determine the content of ascorbic acid in tablets and injections with satisfactory results.
