In forensic samples, estimation of Carbapenem antibiotics has been done with the help of a simple, precise, cost effective U.V Spectrophotometric method, as described in the present study. Methanol was used as a solvent throughout the experiment. It was found that carbapenem antibiotics i.e., Meropenem, Doripenem, Imipenem and Etrapenem had 243, 211, 294, and 247 nm respectively, as absorption maxima. 2–20 microgram/ml was the range in which the Beer's law was obeyed. The recovery values found in forensic samples for carbapenem antibiotics were less than or equal to 70%. Hence, quantitative determination of carbapenem antibiotics in forensic samples was done by the proposed method.
