High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Amoxicillin and Cephalexin.

Both amoxicillin and cephalexin are beta-lactam antibiotics. Beta-lactam antibiotics contain a beta-lactam ring in their molecular structure. As a group, these drugs are active against many gram-positive, gram-negative and anaerobic organisms. Both compounds can be retained and baseline separated with an isocratic method in 30/70 Acetonitrile (ACN) and water mobile phase with a Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) buffer. UV detection at 250 nm.
