How Vanguard tests Milbemycin oxime

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 HPLC retention time, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, residue on ignition, and water content. Full testing to the USP Milbemycin Oxime 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 Milbemycin oxime 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 quantity and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Milbemycin Oxime monograph is available and quoted.

Why does milbemycin oxime have two molecular weights?

Milbemycin oxime is a mixture of milbemycin A3 oxime and milbemycin A4 oxime, which differ by one carbon. HPLC separates the two and LC-MS confirms each by mass, so the result can report both components and their ratio.

Is milbemycin oxime sensitive to light or heat?

Macrocyclic lactones of this type can degrade with light, heat and strong acid or base, which adds peaks to the purity profile. Samples should be kept cool and protected from light before testing.

Can milbemycin oxime be measured in a chewable tablet?

Yes. The drug is extracted from the tablet and quantified against a reference standard. Flavored chewables can need extra cleanup so the matrix does not interfere with the HPLC peaks.
