Abstract: The reaction between ampicillin sodium and ninhydrin was investigated by spectrophotometry. A simple and rapid method for the determination of ampicillin sodium has been optimized. The apparent molar absorptivity of complex is 3.72×103 L/(mol·cm) at 564 nm. Beer′s law could be followed in the range of 10~90 mg/L of ampicillin sodium with correlation coefficient of 0.9981. The relative standard deviation is 1.5%(n=6) and the recovery was over 99.0%.

Key words: spectrophotometry, ampicillin sodium, ninhydrin
