AN267: Analysis of the Aminoglycoside Antibiotics Kanamycin and Amikacin Matches USP Requirements

Instrument Type: IC

The work shown here evaluates the HPAE-PAD assay method described in the USP monographs for kanamycin and amikacin8,9 and describes a revised HPAE-PAD method using a Dionex CarboPac™ MA1 column and disposable Au-on-polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) working electrodes for the analysis of kanamycin and amikacin. The described method provides good sensitivity, high sample throughput, and retention time reproducibility for kanamycin and amikacin.
