I do not find this mentioned in any compendial source, e.g. STEP 1 L910-m irregular or spherical, totally porous silica gel having a chemically bonded, strongly acidic cation-exchange coating. The wavelength accuracy of a variable-wavelength detector equipped with a monochromator should be checked by the procedure recommended by its manufacturer; if the observed wavelengths differ by more than 3 nm from the correct values, recalibration of the instrument is indicated. Variable wavelength detectors contain a continuous source, such as a deuterium or high-pressure xenon lamp, and a monochromator or an interference filter to generate monochromatic radiation at a wavelength selected by the operator. The symmetry factor of a peak (Figure 2.2.46.-5) is calculated . Selective elution of the components of a mixture can be achieved by successively changing the mobile phase to one that provides a more favorable partition coefficient, or by changing the pH of the immobile phase.

Unless otherwise specified in the individual monograph, data from five replicate injections of the analyte are used to calculate the relative standard deviation, These tests are performed by collecting data from replicate injections of standard or other solutions as specified in the individual monograph. Acceptance Criteria: Relative standard deviation for six replicate injections should be NMT 2%, a tailing factor NMT 2.0, and Theoretical plate count NLT 1000. however, in the event of dispute, only equations based on peak width at baseline are to be used. In paper chromatography the adsorbent is a sheet of paper of suitable texture and thickness. When there is an existing product specification, acceptance criteria can be justified on the basis of the risk that measurements may fall outside of the product speci- Small particles thinly coated with organic phase provide for low mass transfer resistance and, hence, rapid transfer of compounds between the stationary and mobile phases. Development may be ascending, in which case the solvent is carried up the paper by capillary forces, or descending, in which case the solvent flow is also assisted by gravitational force.

L4Silica gel of controlled surface porosity bonded to a solid spherical core, 30 to 50 m in diameter. Chromatographic retention times are characteristic of the compounds they represent but are not unique. The sample is introduced into a column, which is filled with a gel or a porous particle packing material and is carried by the mobile phase through the column. USP Reference Standards 11 U S P Chl o r phe ni r a m i ne M a l e a te Ex te nde d Re l e a s e Ta bl e ts RS . The compound is carried down the column by the carrier gas, retarded to a greater or lesser extent by sorption and desorption on the stationary phase. Thus, most drugs, being nonvolatile or thermally unstable compounds, can be chromatographed without decomposition or the necessity of making volatile derivatives. Tailing factor and Asymmetry factor: If the peak b is distance from the point at the peak midpoint to the has to be quantified is asymmetric, a calculation of . The coated plate can be considered an open chromatographic column and the separations achieved may be based upon adsorption, partition, or a combination of both effects, depending on the particular type of stationary phase, its preparation, and its use with different solvents. These columns are typically used to measure aggregation and degradation of large molecules (see. Values should normally between 1.0-1.5 and values greater than 2 are unacceptable. In conventional liquid-liquid partition chromatography, the degree of partition of a given compound between the two liquid phases is expressed by its partition or distribution coefficient. The specification of definitive parameters in a monograph does not preclude the use of other suitable operating conditions (see. Capacity not less than 500 Eq/column. This method involves direct comparison of the peak responses obtained by separately chromatographing the test and reference standard solutions. The tailing factor, T, a measure of peak symmetry, is unity for perfectly symmetrical peaks and its value increases as tailing becomes more pronounced (see Figure 2 ). In very broad terms, the uncertainty in a measurement should be significantly smaller than the tolerance in the process or product to be measured. concentration ratio of Reference Standard and internal standard in Standard solution. Let a and b be the peak half-widths at 5% of the peak height, a is the front half-width, b is the back.

Symmetry factor (S, also called "tailing factor") is a coefficient that shows the degree of peak symmetry. L52A strong cation exchange resin made of porous silica with sulfopropyl groups, 5 to 10 m in diameter. The chromatogram is developed by slow passage of the other, mobile phase over the sheet. In other systems, the test solution is transferred to a cavity by syringe and then switched into the mobile phase. It is the mobile phase that transfers the solute through the medium until it eventually emerges separated from other solutes that are eluted earlier or later. System suitability tests are an integral part of gas and liquid chromatographic methods. The FDA's "Guidance for Reviewers" of HPLC methods. The electron-capture detector contains a radioactive source of ionizing radiation. For two-dimensional chromatography, dry the plates after the first development, and carry out a second development in a direction perpendicular to that of the first development. 2.4.3. In gas-solid chromatography, the solid phase is an active adsorbent, such as alumina, silica, or carbon, packed into a column. At high operating temperatures there is sufficient vapor pressure to result in a gradual loss of liquid phase, a process called bleeding. This is conveniently determined from the length of the column and the retention time of a dilute methane sample, provided a flame-ionization detector is in use. If a solution of the analyte is incorporated in the, Pack a pledget of fine glass wool above the completed column packing. STEP 4 USP Tailing and Symmetry Factor per both the EP and JP. L20Dihydroxypropane groups chemically bonded to porous silica particles, 5 to 10 m in diameter. Detectors are heated to prevent condensation of the eluting compounds. .

Again, validate the Custom Field before you put itinto routine use (Figure 4). A modified procedure for adding the mixture to the column is sometimes employed. . The average number of theoretical plates per column was >3400, the USP tailing factor <1.2 and the resolution >2.0. As peak asymmetry increases, integration, and hence precision, becomes less reliable. G49Proprietary derivatized phenyl groups on a polysiloxane backbone. System suitability Medium, Apparatus, and Times: Proceed as directed Sample: Standard solution for Test 1. Separations are achieved by partition, adsorption, or ion-exchange processes, depending upon the type of stationary phase used. Chromatographic identification by these methods under given conditions strongly indicates identity but does not constitute definitive identification. This can be done with either the Pro or QuickStart interface. wt. A syringe can be used for manual injection of samples through a septum when column head pressures are less than 70 atmospheres (about 1000 psi). It is a selective detector that shows little response to hydrocarbons. For manual measurements, the chart should be run faster than usual, or a comparator should be used to measure the width at half-height and the width at the base of the peak, to minimize error in these measurements. In open-column chromatography, in pressurized liquid chromatography performed under conditions of constant flow rate, and in gas chromatography, the retention time. 105 106 Plate height (H) (synonym: Height equivalent to one theoretical plate (HETP)) 107 Ratio of the column length (L), in micrometers, to the plate number (N): 108 H = 109 110 111 Plate number (N) (synonym: Number of theoretical plates) After this equilibrium has been established, the injector automatically introduces a fixed amount of the headspace in the sample container into the gas chromatograph.
