How Vanguard tests Demeclocycline hydrochloride

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 with UV at 254 nm, pH and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Demeclocycline Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

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

Questions about Demeclocycline hydrochloride 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 Demeclocycline Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

What degradation products form in demeclocycline?

Like other tetracyclines it can epimerize to 4-epidemeclocycline and form anhydro products in acid. These have the same or similar mass, so HPLC retention separates them.

Is demeclocycline sensitive to light?

Yes. Tetracyclines darken and degrade on light exposure, so samples should be shipped in opaque containers.
