HPLC Determination of Cefepime on Primesep 100 Column
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis Cefepime
Cefepime is a fourth generation cephalosporin antibiotic usually reserved for treatment of severe nosocomial pneumonia and febrile neutropenia as well as multiple drug-resistant microorganisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae.
Cefepime can be retained on the Primesep 100 mixed-mode column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, acetonitrile (MeCN, ACN), and sulphuric acid (H2SO4) buffer. The analysis method can be UV detected at 270 nm.
