Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, and can treat many types of bacterial<br />
infections, particularly Gram-negative infection. It is one of the heat-stable antibiotics that<br />
remain active after autoclaving, which make it particularly useful in the preparation in the<br />
certain microbiological growth media.<br />
Traditionally, pharmaceutical analysis of these compounds relies heavily on<br />
chromatography, yet also frequently requiring the use of reagent-based detection principles<br />
like spectrophotometric [1,2],chemiluminescent detection in flow-injection analysis [3],<br />
capillary electrophoresis [4] a novel LC/ELSD [5], thin-layer chromatography [6], HPLC<br />
[7].A simple and sensitive potentiometric procedure for the determination of gentamicin is<br />
presented, after development of selective electrodes based on PVC membranes using<br />
different type of cyclodextrins and its derivatives, or Evans Blue complex with gentamicin<br />
as ionophers. Several mediator solvents and lipophilic ionic species were also used in order<br />
to optimize the characteristics of the membranes.<br />
The evaluation of the general characteristics for all the units prepared revealed an<br />
analytical linear range of about 2x10 -4 ; 5x10 -3 mol L -1 , slopes of about 50 mV/dec, good<br />
reproducibility and low response times. The evaluation of Potentiometric selectivity<br />
coefficients will permit to choose the best electrode for gentamicin control in<br />
pharmaceutical preparations.<br />
