Chromatogram

Description

Application Notes: Acetametaphin, aspirin, and caffeine tablets contain not less than 90 percent and not more than 110 percent of the labeled amounts if acetametaphin, asprin, and caffeine according the USP methods. USP HPLC method for separation of acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine was developed on Legacy L1 column according to US Pharmacopeia methodology. L1 classification is assigned to reversed-phase HPLC column contains C18 ligands. Support for the material is a spherical silica gel with particles size 3-10 um and pore size of 100-120A. Resolution between critical pairs corresponds to rules and specifications of USP.
