How Vanguard tests Amifostine

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: Chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound, 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, and pH and water. Full testing to the USP Amifostine 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 Amifostine testing

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

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by a chromatographic assay, with detection selected for the compound. Full testing to the USP Amifostine monograph is available and quoted.

What does amifostine break down to?

The thiophosphate group hydrolyzes to the free thiol, which can then oxidize to its disulfide. Both are seen as separate peaks, so moisture and warmth during storage show up in the purity result.

Why does the trihydrate form matter?

The USP material is the trihydrate, and the water is a real part of its weight. Results are reported on the stated basis, so tell us if you need anhydrous values.

Is amifostine easy to detect by UV?

No. It has no aromatic ring, so the lab uses a detection method suited to the compound.
