文摘A robust voltammetric method has been developed and validated for the determination of Fe(Ⅱ) and Fe(Ⅲ) in pharmaceutical iron polysaccharidic complexes. Undesirable low molecular weight iron complexes, at concentration about 3% in the pharmaceutical formulation, can be easily determined with good accuracy and precision.
