A simple spectrophotometric method for determination of cefaclor in raw and dosage forms based on reaction with ninhydrin is developed, optimized and validated. The purple color (Ruhemenn's purple) resulted from the reaction was stabilized and measured at 560 nm.The method optimization was essential as many procedural parameters influenced the accuracy of determination all variables including the reagent concentration, heating time, reaction temperature, color stability period, and cefaclor/ninhydrin ratio were studied in order to optimize the reaction conditions. No interference was observed from common pharmaceutical adjuvant. The developed method is easy to use, accurate and highly cost-effective for routine studies relative to HPLC and other techniques.

An extensive literature assessment is done and it is obvious that the methods are accessible for Ranitidine. HPLC is very expensive instrument and are not available in every laboratory. While UV/Visible spectrophotometer is a common instrument of all pharmaceutical analytical laboratory. Spectrophotometric analysis methods available for Ranitidine are tedious, time consuming and not much sensitive in term of precision and accuracy. It becomes essential to develop new rapid and cost effective methods that spectrophotometric determination would be simple, accurate, precise and sensitive. The newly developed analytical methods can be used in research institutions, Quality control in pharmaceutical industries, Approved testing laboratories and Bioequivalence studies.
