Fluorimetric assay of cephradine, cephalexin and cephaloglycin. 1977

R H Barbhaiya, and P Turner

1 A simple, rapid and reproducible fluorimetric assay for cephradine, cephalexin and cephaloglycin is described. 2 The method involves addition of formaldehyde which catalyses the formation of fluorescent derivatives. 3 The structural similarities between the side chains of these antibiotics and their identical excitation and emission spectra suggest that they may be forming similar fluorescent derivatives.
