    Route of drug administration

    Drugs may be administered by various routes. The choice of the route for a given patient depends on the properties of the drug and the patient’s requirements. A knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of the different routes of administration is essential. The routes can be broadly divided into: •Enteral/oral/ peroral •Parenteral • Local. ENTERAL…

  • Rotating Platinum Electrode (RPE)

    A Rotating Platinum Electrode (RPE) serves as a specialized electrochemical instrument used in various electrochemical studies and experiments. It comprises a platinum electrode that researchers rotate at a controlled speed while immersing it in an electrolyte solution. This article will describe its construction, operation, and applications. Construction 1. Platinum Electrode: In an RPE, researchers typically…

  • Dropping Mercury Electrode (DME)

    Analytical chemists use a Dropping Mercury Electrode (DME) as an electrochemical instrument, especially for investigating various electrochemical reactions. It consists of a small droplet of mercury continuously replenished by a controlled flow of mercury from a reservoir. Here’s how it is constructed and works: Construction 1. Mercury Reservoir: The DME has a reservoir holding a…

  • Ilkovic equation

    The Ilkovic equation, named after the Russian scientist Mikhail Ilkovic, serves as a fundamental equation in electrochemistry to describe the behavior of double-layer capacitors, often referred to as supercapacitors or ultracapacitors. It provides a simplified model for understanding the relationship between the charge (Q) stored in the double layer and the potential (E) applied to…

  • Polarography

    Polarography is an electroanalytical technique that determines the concentration of specific analytes in a solution by measuring the current flowing in an electrochemical cell as a function of the applied voltage. The principle of polarography is based on the behavior of electrodes at varying voltages, which allows for the quantitative analysis of various substances. Principle…

  • Potentiometric titrations

    In potentiometric titrations, accurately measuring the analyte concentration in a sample relies on determining the endpoint. We employ various methods to detect the endpoint, depending on the type of titration and the specific ion or parameter being measured. Here are some common methods for endpoint determination in potentiometric titrations and their applications: Methods for Endpoint…

  • Indicator Electrodes

    Indicator electrodes detect and respond to changes in the analyte of interest within a sample solution in electrochemical measurements. These electrodes play a pivotal role in various electrochemical techniques, such as potentiometry and voltammetry. Indicator electrodes interact with the analyte to generate electrical signals for measuring and quantifying target species. Examples include glass electrodes for…

  • Reference Electrodes

    Reference electrodes are stable and well-defined electrodes used as a reference point in electrochemical measurements. They provide a known and constant electric potential against which other electrodes, particularly working electrodes, can be compared. Reference electrodes are essential in electrochemical techniques, ensuring accurate potential measurement and understanding the electrochemical behavior. Examples include the Standard Hydrogen Electrode…
