Collaborative Study of the Ion-Pair Column Partition Method for the Determination of Phenylephrine.HC1 in Drug Formulations
Abstract Three solutions containing varying amounts of phenylephrine.HC1 were subjected to a collaborative evaluation of the ion-pair column partition method of Levine and Doyle. Results submitted by 20 collaborators were evaluated statistically. Recoveries averaged 99.0, 100.8, and 103.5% with 95% confidence limits of the mean of ±0.71, ±0.53, and ±0.85%, respectively. The method is recommended for adoption as official first action. The colorimetric method approved last year is recommended for adoption as official final action.
