A rapid, sensitive, and specific method of analysis for mezlocillin in serum and urine by high-pressure liquid chromatography is described. A solid-phase extraction column was used to remove interfering substances from samples before chromatography. Quantitation included the use of an internal standard, nafcillin. Mezlocillin was chromatographed with a phosphate buffer-acetonitrile (73:27) mobile phase and a C-18 reverse-phase column and detected at a wavelength of 220 nm. The assay had a sensitivity of 1.6 micrograms/ml and a linearity of up to 600 micrograms/ml and 16 mg/ml in serum and urine, respectively, with only 0.1 ml of sample. The interday and intraday coefficients of variation for replicate analyses of spiked serum and urine specimens were less than 6.5%.
