DETERMINATION OF UREA USING p -N,N-DIMETHYLAMINOBENZALDEHYDE: SOLVENT EFFECT AND INTERFERENCE OF CHITOSAN

An optimized spectroscopic methodology for the quantification of urea using p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (DMAB) as a derivatizing reagent is proposed to avoid changes in reproducibility caused by aging of acidic DMAB solutions, and the unintended use of different solvents. Four solvents; ethanol, met...
