“…The most serious and potentially lethal effect of chloramphenicol is a plastic anemia (4). Several methods have been reported for the determination of CAP including titration (5),spectrophotometry (2,(6)(7)(8)biosensor immunoassay (9), gas chromatography (10,11) , liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (12),liquid chromatography-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry (13,14),enzyme-liquid immunosorbent assay (15)(16)(17), molecularly imprinted polymer for HPLC (1), chemiluminescences (18), differential-pulse polagraphy (19) and derivative spectrophotometry (20). Among the various methods available for the determination of the drug, spectrophotometry continues to be very popular, because of its simplicity, specificity and low cost.…”
