Determination of $\beta$-Lactam Antibiotics by Gas Chromatography with Flame Photometric Detector (I)

GC/FPD를 이용한 $\beta$-락탐계 항생물질의 분석(I)

Some $\betha$-lactam antibiotics-penicillins and cephalosporins-were determined by gas chromatography (GC) with flame photometric detector (FPD) which was selective and sensitive to sulfur-containing compounds. Methyl ester derivatives of carboxyl group in $\betha$-lactam antibiotics were prepared using 0.5Mmethyl iodide in methylene chloride and were taken for gas chromatography with 0.9% or 0.6% QF-1 on Chromosorb WAW-DMCS. We have found that it is possible to determine methyl esters of $\betha$-lactam antibiotics by GC/FPD.
