How Vanguard tests Chlorambucil

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 monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy and a chloride test, assay by titration, and melting range and water. Full testing to the USP Chlorambucil monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

Purity, as percent of total peak area
Quantity, against the label claim

Questions about Chlorambucil testing

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

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

Why does the USP monograph use titration while the $250 test uses HPLC?

Titration measures total acid content and cannot tell chlorambucil from its breakdown products. HPLC separates them, so one run gives both a purity profile and the quantity.

Is chlorambucil stable in water?

No. The chloroethyl groups hydrolyze in water, forming hydroxyethyl breakdown products. Samples are kept dry and cold and prepared in organic solvent just before analysis.
