Abstract:
Quaternary ammonium, phosphonium and arsonium membrane electrodes sensitive to benzylpenicillin, ampicillin and oxacillin have been investigated. The order of merit of electrode performance is cetyltrioctylammonium> cetyltrioctylphosphonium> cetyltrioctylarsonium. The electrodes are suggested for use in rapid determination of penicillin drugs by direct potentiometry.
