✦ Synopsis


A flow microcalorimetric assay for zinc bacitracin has been developed which has better reproducibility (relative standard deviation less than 2%) and sensitivity (0.02 micrograms ml-1) than conventional microbiological assays, and requires an assay time of between 7.5-9 h. The assay is not suitable for zinc bacitracin determinations in the presence of equimolar concentrations of polymyxin B sulphate or neomycin sulphate, or of these antibiotics in the proportions in which they occur in the commercial preparation Trisep (ICI, Macclesfield, UK).

A flow microcalorimetric assay for Neomycin has been developed which is monitored through interaction of the antibiotic with Bacillus pumilus as the test organism. The assay has better reproducibility (relative standard deviation 2.3%) and is more sensitive than conventional microbiological bioassay

Flow microcalorimetric assays for polymyxin B sulphate and neomycin sulphate have been developed using Escherichia coli as the test organism, suspended in a glucose plus buffer medium. These assays have a better reproducibility (relative standard deviations 3.2 and 2.0%, respectively), and require a
