Design of LabVIEW®‐based software for the control of sequential injection analysis instrumentation for the determination of morphine

Abstract

LabVIEW ® ‐based software for the automation of a sequential injection analysis instrument for the determination of morphine is presented. Detection was based on its chemiluminescence reaction with acidic potassium permanganate in the presence of sodium polyphosphate. The calibration function approximated linearity (range 5 × 10 −10 to 5 × 10 −6 M) with a line of best fit of y = 1.05 x + 89164( R 2 = 0.9959), where y is the log10 signal (mV) and x is the log10 morphine concentration (M). Precision, as measured by relative standard deviation, was 0.7% for five replicate analyses of morphine standard (5 × 10 −8 M). The limit of detection (3σ) was determined as 5 × 10 −11 M morphine.
