A first-derivative photochemically-induced fluorescence method is proposed for the determination of sulfamethazine (SMTZ) in the presence of sulfamerazine (SMRZ) or sulfadiazine (SDZ). Linear calibration plots were obtained for SMTZ in SMTZ-SMRZ or SMTZ-SDZ binary mixtures with correlation coefficients larger than 0.999. For SMTZ the lower limits of detection were 7-13 ppb. Recoveries of 91-114% were obtained in the analysis of SMTZ in pharmaceutical formulations.
