摘　　要：A simple and direct method without a deriva- tion step for routine analysis of tobramycin has been developed. This method used reversed-phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） with a refractive index （RI） detector and a C18 column which is stable at pH above 1.00. The presence of 4.50mg.mL ] trifluoroacetic acid （TFA） in the mobile phase improved the protonation of tobramycin and the formation of ionpairs, and thus reduced its hydrophility. This unique separation-detection combination showed good linearity with correlation coefficients 0.9996 in the concentration range of 0.25-2.50mg.mL 1. The quantitation limit and detection limit were determined to be 0.23 mg.mL ~ and 0.071 mg. mL ~, respectively. Tobramycin was recovered in 98.00%, 98.84% and 99.64% for tobramycin solutions at concentrations of 2.25 mg.mL^-1, 1.50mg.mL 1 and 0.75 mg.mL ＇, respectively. The relative standard deviations for six spiked samples ranged from 0.20% to 2.40%, indicating a good reproducibility of this method.A simple and direct method without a deriva- tion step for routine analysis of tobramycin has been developed.
