【 摘 要 】

Cobalt has been reported for being abused as an illegal doping agent due to its ability as an erythropoiesis-stimulating agent for enhancing performance in racehorses. Since 2015, cobalt is listed as a prohibited substance by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities (IFHA) with a urinary threshold of 0.1 μg cobalt per mL urine. To prevent the misuse of cobalt in racehorse, a simple method for detection of cobalt is desirable. In this work, the detection of cobalt is based on the spectrometric detection of the complex formation between cobalt(II) and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-n-propyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)amino]aniline at pH 4. The absorbance of the complex is monitored at 602 nm. The metal:ligand ratio of the complex is 1:2. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 0 - 2.5 μM {Absorbance = (0.0825 ± 0.0013)[Co2+] + (0.0406 ± 0.0003), r2= 0.999} and the detection limit (3 SD of intercept)/slope) was 0.044 μM. The proposed method has been successfully applied to horse urine samples with the recoveries in the range 91 - 98%.
