Abstract:
The stopped-flow mixing technique was used to develop a simple, fast kinetic method for the determination of clavulanic acid by reaction with imidazole. Whereas the conventional method requires about 12-15 min for equilibrium to be reached, kinetic measurements can be made within a few seconds. The calibration graph was linear over the range 1-40 microgram ml-1 of clavulanic acid and the detection limit achieved was 0.3 microgram ml-1. The precision and selectivity of the method are reported. The results obtained by applying the proposed method to the analysis of pharmaceutical and serum samples show how easily it can be adapted for routine analyses.
