A simple, sensitive and matrix-effect free analytical method for simultaneous determination of Cd, Hg and Pb in drug samples ( i.e. , commercial dosage tablets) by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP OES) has been developed. According to the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Chapter 232, those metals are considered elemental impurities from class 1 and they must be assessed in pharmaceutical production as well as in quality control evaluation. In order to increase the sensitivity of the analysis, dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) was performed and seven factors affecting analyte extraction were optimized by multivariate analysis. A microvolume of analyte enriched phase was directly introduced into the plasma using a multi-nebulizer, providing a high enrichment factor. When compared to conventional ICP OES analysis, DLLME improves the limit of quantitation (LOQ) values on average 40-fold for all analytes. Consequently, LOQ values were significantly lower than their permissible daily exposure limits for oral drugs. Accuracy was evaluated by addition and recovery experiments following USP recommendations in eight commercial drug samples. Recovery and RSD values were within the range of 90-108% and 1-9%, respectively.
