Editors’ Series: A Generic HPLC-UV Platform Method for Cleaning Verification
We describe the development and qualification of a simple, 10-min generic HPLC-UV gradient method for quantitative assays of cleaning verification solutions (0.2 – 10 mg/mL) and demonstrate approaches to increase sensitivity to low ng/mL levels by large-volume injections, sample concentrations, and the use of long-path UV flow cells. We report the attainment of similar method performance with a run time of 1.5 min using sub-2-μm or sub-3-μm core–shell columns on ultrahigh-pressure LC (UHPLC) systems. We provide rationales for parameter selections during the method development process to illustrate how the application of modern chromatographic principles can be used to quickly optimize method performance for intended use. This generic analytical methodology is readily adaptable to rinse or swabbing solutions and potentially for other applications such as in-process (IPC) control testing or rapid potency assays of many pharmaceuticals.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
Determination of Pharmaceuticals by Capillary HPLC-MS/MS (Dec 2024)
December 19th 2024This application note demonstrates the use of a compact portable capillary liquid chromatograph, the Axcend Focus LC, coupled to an Agilent Ultivo triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical drugs in model aqueous samples.
