High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Nitrofurantoin .
Nitrofurantoin is an oral antibiotic with the chemical formula C8H6N4O5 . It is used to treat urinary tract infections.
Nitrofurantoin can be retained and analyzed using the Legacy L1 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a sulfuric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
