Abstract

A review of the applications, principles, advantages of stripping voltammetric techniques, namely anodic, cathodic, abrasive, adsorptive stripping voltammetry and potentiometric stripping analysis is presented. Stripping voltammetric methods in pharmaceutical analysis are discussed and the generally applicable procedure is given. The use and advantages and disadvantages of these techniques at different electrodes are discussed. The analytical applications of stripping techniques to pharmaceutically active compounds are also discussed. Various selected determination studies on drugs by stripping techniques from pharmaceutical dosage forms and biological samples are reviewed.
