A sequential injection method for the determination of piroxicam in pharmaceutical formulations using europium sensitized fluorescence.

A simple, selective and sensitive luminescence method for the assay of piroxicam (PX) in pharmaceutical formulation is developed. The method is based on the luminescence sensitization of europium (Eu(3+)) by complexation with PX. The signal for PX-EU is monitored at lambda(ex)=358nm and lambda(em)=615nm.
