- Abstract
- The study describes the suitability of a colorimetric method (malachite green procedure) for detection of minimal amounts of phosphate (7.3-29.1 mu mol/L) in different acidic solutions (hydrochloric acid, oxalic acid, maleic acid, perchloric acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, lactic acid and acetic acid) adjusted to pH 2.0. A mixture of the respective phosphate concentrations with distilled water served as control. The experiments were run with ten repeats in series. Assessment of intra- and interassay coefficient of variation and lower limit of quantification revealed that depending on the acid used, the applied method is a reliable and suitable tool to detect and quantify minimal phosphate contents in small samples of acidic solutions that have the potential to cause erosive dental lesions.
