How Vanguard tests Almotriptan malate

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 and fumaric acid by HPLC, and residue on ignition and water. Full testing to the USP Almotriptan Malate 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 Almotriptan malate 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 Almotriptan Malate monograph is available and quoted.

Why does the monograph test for fumaric acid?

Fumaric acid is a common impurity in malic acid and can also form from it, so it reflects the quality of the malate counter-ion. It is measured separately from the drug-related impurities.

Is the result reported as almotriptan or almotriptan malate?

The USP material is the malate salt, and the assay is reported on that basis unless you ask for free base. Tablet labels usually state strength as almotriptan base, so tell us which you need.
