A quality by design HPLC method for cephalosporin analysis in pharmaceuticals and water samples with environmental impact assessment by Ali Alqahtani, Taha Alqahtani, Adel Al Fatease, Enas H. Tolba

“…The greenness profile of the optimized HPLC method was also evaluated using the Analytical GREEnness (AGREE) tool and found to be environmentally friendly with AGREE score of 0.75, making it a greener alternative for quality control and routine analysis of the investigated cephalosporins in their pharmaceutical formulations and tap water samples. Furthermore, the blueness assessment of the proposed HPLC method using the blue applicability grade index (BAGI) tool yielded a value of 77.5, indicating its high analytical practicality and substantial potential for routine analysis applications.…”
