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 />
