title: Determination of nafcillin and methicillin by different spectrofluorimetric techniques.
abstract: In order to explore the possibilities of combining synchronous fluorescence and derivative spectrometry and to establish a methodology for this type of technique, nafcillin and methicillin were determined using these techniques. Several methods for resolving binary mixtures of these penicillins using first derivative spectrofluorimetry, first derivative constant wavelength synchronous luminescence spectrometry and constant energy synchronous luminescence spectrometry are described. The analyses were performed in aqueous medium at pH 6.20 provided by the addition of phosphate buffer solution. A complete and exhaustive statistical analysis of the experimental data was performed to demonstrate the validity of these methods, which obtained good results when applied for determining nafcillin and methicillin synthetic and real mixtures.
