Dive Deep into Gentamicin Sulfate (GS) Analysis Excellence

GS is an organic substance with the chemical formula C₆₀H₁₂₅O₂₂N₁₅·H₂SO₄. It has the appearance of a white or off-white crystalline powder and dissolves easily in water. In biology and medicine, GS has a favorable inhibitory effect on most bacteria. At CD BioGlyco, we provide professional GS analysis services with our rigorous and extensive knowledge of Pharmaceutical and Biological.

• Specific rotation
  We accurately weigh a sample of GS and dissolve and dilute it with water. Next, the specific rotation of GS is tested using a spinometer. GS should have a specific rotation of +107° to +121°.
• Solubility
  GS is soluble in water and insoluble in ethanol, acetone, or ether.
• Identification
  • Thin layer chromatography (TLC): We will dissolve the sample to be tested and GS standard in water and make it into separate solutions. Next, both solutions are unfolded on the same thin layer plate using the same unfolding agent. Finally, we compare the spots of the sample and the standard in iodine vapor. If the number, location, and color of the spots match, the sample is proven to be GS.
  • Infrared spectroscopy (IR): Infrared light absorption spectra of the control sample and the standard of GS are compared, if the spectra are the same, it proves that the sample is GS.
• Acidity
  The pH of an aqueous solution of GS is determined directly using an acidimeter. The pH of GS should be 4.0-6.0.
• Sulfate
  GS is weighed precisely and dissolved in water. We titrate it using barium chloride solution as titrant and phthalide violet solution as indicator solution. Finally, the amount of sulfate in GS is calculated based on the color change and the amount of titrant used.
• Quantitative analysis
  We use high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to determine the content of GS. The content of GS is calculated using the area of the peak of GS in the chromatogram obtained.
• Moisture
  We determine the moisture content of GS using a combination of a moisture meter and an electrochemical method.
• Bacterial endotoxins
  We offer gel and photometric methods for the determination of endotoxin in GS. These two methods mainly utilize the agglutination phenomenon and turbidity change during the reaction of horseshoe crab reagent with endotoxin to determine the amount of endotoxin.

GS is also commonly used in medical applications in several forms, and CD BioGlyco offers its analysis to clients. Notably, most of their analysis aspects are the same as those of GS.

• GS tablets: White to light yellow tablets or sugar-coated tablets, white to light yellow after removing the coating
• GS injection: A sterile aqueous solution of GS as a colorless to slightly yellow or slightly yellowish-green clear liquid with a pH between 3.5 and 6.0
• GS sustained-release tablets: White or off-white tablets
• GS granules: Soluble granules
• GS eye drops: A clear colorless slightly yellow liquid with a pH between 5.0 and 7.0
