“…In the literature, there are different methods for quantification of ranitidine using the following techniques: spectrophotometry [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11], fluorimetry [7,12,13], chemiluminescence [14,15], spectrometry [16], electrochemistry [11,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] and chromatography [26][27][28]. In most cases, using the methods of spectrophotometry, spectrometry, fluorimetry and chemiluminescence a preliminary step of derivatization is necessary, which will result in longer analysis times, an example of which is the precipitation of ranitidine with Co and Cd complex prior to analysis by spectrometry [16].…”
