Abstract: The present paper covers a new flow injection fluorimetric method for the determination of trace chlorotetracycline.Chlorotetracycline reacts rapidly with 0.25 mol/L NaOHin a reaction tube and produces strong fluorescent species detected by fluorimetry in a flow cell.The fluorescence intensity of the product is proportional to the concentration of chlorotetracycline over the range of 10-8~10-5 mol/L.Coexisting tetracycline and anhydrochlorotetracycline do not interfere with the determination of chlorotetracycline.This method can be used not only for the quality detection of chlorotetracycline medicine but also for the determination of chlorotetracycline in tetracyline medicine.The determination of chlorotetracyciine in urine and serum is successful with satisfactory recoveries.
