Named, unnamed and unspecified impurities as regulatory categories — the long version posts 121–121

Analytics › Impurities & related substances HPLC data table forced degradation counter-ion content Wiki

This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.

post #120 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

Residual solvents: traces of solvents used in purification. These are usually tested by gas chromatography, not by HPLC. A specification for residual solvents should be stated separately from the purity.
