A novel method for the direct determination of the aminoglycoside antibiotic amikacin and its precursor component kanamycin was developed and validated, based on reversed phase LC with evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). ELSD response to amikacin was found to be enhanced by: (a) use of ion-pairing acidic reagents of increased molecular mass, (b) increase of mobile phase volatility and (c) decrease of peak width and asymmetry (obtained by controlling the mobile phase acidity and/or ratio of organic solvent to water). Utilizing a Thermo Hypersil BetaBasic C(18) column, the selected optimized mobile phase was water-methanol (60:40, v/v), containing 3.
