Amperornetric Determination of Ascorbic Acia at a Thin Layer Flow Cell

A thin layer flow cell with cell volume of $8\;{\mu}{\ell}$ was constructed. Diffusion currents of ascorbic acid was directly proportional to the 1/3 power of volume flow rates. A linear dynamic range was obtained at the concentration range between $10^{-7}\;M\;and\;10^{-4}\;M$ of ascorbic acid with a detection limit of $10^{-8}\;M$. Ascorbic acid in the multivitamin product was amperometrically determined at TLFC after simply dissolving mg range ground product in $100m{\ell}$ of pH 7.0 phosphate buffer.
