The method Ⅰ is based on the interaction of 3-methylbenzo[d]- thiazolin-2-one hydrazone （MBTH） with cefetamet in the presence of freshly prepared ferric chloride in a neutral medium. The resulting blue colored product has λmax at 628 nm. The method Ⅱ describes the reduction of ferric ion by the drug to ferrous ion followed by a complex formation reaction with 1,10-phenanthroline （1,10-phen） to form an orange red colored chromogen exhibiting 2max at 510 nm. The products are stable for more than 5 and 8 h respectively. Common excipients used as additives in pharmaceutical preparations do not interfere in the proposed methods. Both methods are highly reproducible and have been applied to a wide variety of pharmaceutical preparations and the results are comparable with those of official methods.展开更多
