The performance of a glassy carbon electrode modified with a porphyrin film formed by the [Co(TPyP){Ru(bipy)(2)Cl}(4)](TFMS)(5).H(2)O complex for the analysis of sodium metabisulfite in pharmaceuticals is described. The sensor can be rapidly and easily prepared by drop-casting of a microliter volume of a diluted methanolic solution of the complex onto the electrode surface.

The modified glassy carbon electrodes efficiently oxidize hydrazine at 10mV versus Ag/AgCl, dramatically decreasing the overpotential of conventional carbon electrodes. The analytical characteristics of this amperometric sensor coupled with batch injection analysis (BIA) technique were explored.

The system was studied by micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MEKC) and free solution capillary electrophoresis (FSCE), being the latter chosen in function of best resolution and sensitivity in comparison with the MEKC method. CE-C(4)D was applied to analysis of salbutamol in syrups utilizing 1.

The optimized experimental conditions for the preparation of the modified glassy carbon electrodes and for analysis of H2O2 were carefully determined. Fast sequential analysis (120 determinations h(-1)) in a wide linear dynamic range (5.
