In this paper a fast and novel stability-indicating ultra fast LC method for separation and estimation of impurities in clopidogrel and aspirin in their combined tablet dosage form and omeprazole was developed. The separation of USP related substances of clopidogrel (A, B and C), aspirin (D), omeprazole (A, B and C) and few other unknown impurities was detected by using ultra fast liquid chroma...

In this work, a novel and modified method for the solvent purification of Curcumin is presented, a composite of normal hexane & 2-propanol solvents was used to separate the fat content and other impurities. The process was modeled considering the response surface methodology as described by the central composite design. The adjusted R-squared was 0.9443 indicating the variation betwe...

There is an ever increasing interest in impurities present in APIs. Now days, not only purity profile but also impurity profile has become mandatory according to various regulatory authorities. In the pharmaceutical world, an impurity is considered as any other inorganic or organic material, or residual solvents other than the drug substances, or ingredients, arise out of synthesis or unwanted ...

Peak purity analysis is an evaluation technique for detecting the presence of coeluting impurities in highperformance liquid chromatography (HPLC) data. Running a peak purity check prior to analytical quantitation helps to ensure accuracy. In the development of analytical methods, peak purity analysis can reveal the presence of contamination during standardization and, by doing so, can prevent ...

THERE HAS been substantial interest within the Australian sugar industry in product diversification as a means to reduce its exposure to fluctuating raw sugar prices and in order to increase its commercial viability. In particular, the industry is looking at fibrous residues from sugarcane harvesting (trash) and from sugarcane milling (bagasse) for cogeneration and the production of biocommodit...

The present study reports the perplexing results that came about because of seriously impure commercially available reagents. Commercial reagents and chemicals are routinely ordered by scientists and expected to have been rigorously assessed for their purity. Unfortunately, we found this assumption to be risky. Extensive work was carried out within our laboratory using commercially sourced prep...

To ensure the reliability of amino acid analyses, the National Metrology Institute of Japan of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (NMIJ/AIST) has developed high-purity certified reference materials (CRMs) for 17 proteinogenic amino acids. These CRMs are intended for use as primary reference materials to enable the traceable quantification of amino acids. The pu...

beta-YbAlB4 is the first Yb-based heavy fermion superconductor with Tc = 80 mK. Our study using high-purity single crystals reveals that strongly type-II heavy fermion superconductivity emerges from the non-Fermi-liquid state with enhanced ferromagnetic fluctuations. High sensitivity of Tc to sample purity indicates strong pair-breaking effects due to impurities, probably of nonmagnetic type, s...

The commercially available pullulan (Pullulan PI-20) has a purity of more than 90 %. Its average molecular weight (at peak of a gel permeation chromatogram) is about 200 kD. The main impurities are mono-, diand oligosaccharides, which are carried over from the raw material (hydrolysed starch) into the final product. The specifications for Pullulan include standard parameters for identification ...
