β¦ Synopsis
A new, sensitive calorimetric method for the estimation of 6-aminopenicillanic acid is described. The procedure is based upon formation of a 2,4-pentanedione derivative of 6-aminopenicillanic acid followed by a second reaction with p-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde (Ehrlich's reagent), resulting in a red product which absorbs at 538 nm. The absorbance response is linear from 0 to 350 pg of 6-aminopenicillanic acid. Penicillins do not interfere with the assay, but 6-aminopenicilloic acid does.

A new calorimetric method for the determination of hydroxamic acid is described. Hydroxamic acid was oxidized quantitatively by iodine to produce nitrous acid, which was thereafter determined according to the diazocoupling reaction. This method is sensitive to as little as 5 nmol of hydroxamic acid,
