Abstract
The parameters influencing dialytic separation of ciprofloxacin (CF) fluoroquinolone were investigated. Dialysis with a porous cellulose acetate membrane was on-line coupled with HPLC and the analysis of dialysate was made by isocratic ion-pairing liquid chromatography using a reversed-phase analytical column and fluorescence detection. Optimisation of the experimental conditions for selective dialytic enrichment are described and explanations of some phenomena affecting dialysis efficiency discussed. By the use of a neutral donor (pH≈7) and acidic acceptor solution (pH<4) a substantial enrichment of quinolones was achieved. Accumulation of CF in the acidic acceptor phase is based on the protonation of the analyte in the acceptor compartment. Continuous-flow of donor solution and a stagnant acceptor solution gave high dialysis efficiency in 5–15 min. Effects of interfering substances present in real samples on the variation of dialysis efficiency can be minimised by successive dialysis runs of the original and spiked samples.
