High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Amlodipine besylate
Amlodipine is a prescription typically sold under the brand name “Norvasc.” It is used to treat high blood pressure and artery disease. It works by preventing calcium from entering cells through blocking L-type calcium channels.
Amlodipine can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a Sulfuric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
