The procedure is based on the drug in an acidic medium, subsequent formation of yellow ternary complex in citrate buffer solution (pH 4.2), and measurement at 454 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the range 15.0-40.0 mu g mL(-1) with correlation coefficient r(2) = 0.9995. The procedure holds good accuracy and precision when applied to the analysis of ceftazidime in powder for injection with good recovery percent ranging from 100.17 +/- 1.0 without interference from additives.2143-2152engceftazidimepharmaceutical analysisquality controlspectrophotometryArtigo10.1080/00032710802240818WOS:000258487500002Acesso restrito
