“…13 NM cannot be determined using direct UV or uorescence detection because of the lack of a suitable UV absorbing or uorescence chromophore. 14 Various methods have been employed to determine neomycin sulfate, including pulsed electrochemical detection (PED), 15 evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD), 16 charged aerosol detection (CAD), 17 and reversed phase chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) detection (HPLC-MS/MS). 18 In the case of the aminoglycosides, because there are several amino groups in these compounds, multiple derivatives methods have mainly used pre-or post-column derivatization, such as the derivative reaction with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA), 19 phthalimidylbenzoyl chloride (Phibyl-Cl) 20 and 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-4-methyl-3-oxoquinoxaline-2-carbonyl chloride (DMEQ-Cl).…”
