How Vanguard tests Rosuvastatin calcium

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: HPLC-UV purity and assay, LC-MS identity, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP Rosuvastatin Calcium monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy, HPLC retention time and a calcium test, assay by HPLC, organic impurities and enantiomeric purity by HPLC, and water content. Full testing to the USP Rosuvastatin Calcium monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

  • Purity, as percent of total peak area
  • Quantity, against the label claim
  • Identity, reported as match or no match against the reference standard
  • With monograph testing (quoted): the monograph’s tests against its limits

Questions about Rosuvastatin calcium testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC with UV detection for purity and assay, and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Rosuvastatin Calcium monograph is available and quoted.

Is quantity reported as rosuvastatin or rosuvastatin calcium?

Labels usually state the amount as rosuvastatin, while the raw material is the calcium salt, which holds two rosuvastatin units per calcium. Tell us which basis your label uses.

Is rosuvastatin light sensitive?

Yes. Light can form degradation products, including a lactone and an oxidized form, which show up in the HPLC purity profile. Keep samples protected from light.
