A new validated potentiometric method is described for batch and continuous quality control monitoring of the drug oseltamivir phosphate (Taminil) (OST). The method involves the development of a potentiometric sensor responsive to the drug based on the use of the ion-association complex of (OST+) cation with phosphomolybdate anion (PMA) as an electroactive material in a poly(vinyl chloride) matrix membrane plasticized with o-nitrophenyloctyl ether (o-NPOE). Optimization of the performance characteristics of the sensor is described. A membrane incorporating the OST-PMA-NPOE complex in a tubular flow through detector is used in a two channel flow injection set up for continuous monitoring of the drug at a frequency of approximate to 30 samples h1. The sensor shows fast near-Nernstian response for OST over the concentration range 5.2x1050.8x102M (21.34 mu g mL13.23mg mL1) with a detection limit of 9.1x106M (3.73 mu g mL1) over the pH range 4.66.1. The sensor displays good selectivity for OST drug over some basic drugs, inorganic cations, excipients and diluents commonly used in the drug formulations. Validation of the assay method is tested by measuring the lower detection limit, range, linearity, bias, trueness, accuracy, precision, and between-day-variability, within day reproducibility, selectivity and ruggedness (robustness). The results reveal good potentiometric performance of the proposed sensor for determination of OST in pharmaceutical capsules and in biological fluid matrices as well as for testing the dissolution profile of the drug and drug homogeneity.
