“…These methods include spectrophotometric methods, such as a flow-injection analysis after heating with iron(III) and o-phenanthroline, 1 a flow injection analysis after reacting the liberated sulfide with N,Ndiethyl-p-phenylenediamine and iron(III), 2 a reaction with potassium hexacyanoferrate, 3 molybdophosphoric acid, 4 chromotrope 2B and chromotrope 2R, 5 glucitol and sodium hydroxide, 6 NBS and NCS, 7 copper(II) and vanadium, 8 MBTH and 2,6-dichloroquinone-4-chlorimide, 9 oxidation with either iron (III) or cerium(IV), 10 mercurochrome, 11 ferric hydroxamate, 12 tetrachloroquinone, 13 p-benzoquinone and tetrachlorobenzoquinone, 14 ammonium molybdate, 5 ammonium vanadate, 16 sodium nitroprusside, 17 NBD-Cl 18 and tetrazolium salts. 19 The pharmacopoeial methods for analyzing the investigated cephalosporins are either chromatographic methods, 20,21 which are expensive, or titrimetric methods, 21 which are less sensitive.…”
