How Vanguard tests Amiloride 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, HPLC retention time and a chloride test, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, and residue on ignition, acidity by titration and water. Full testing to the USP Amiloride Hydrochloride 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 Amiloride hydrochloride 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 Amiloride Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

Is amiloride hydrochloride anhydrous or a dihydrate?

The USP material is the dihydrate, and its water makes up a noticeable share of the weight. Results can be reported on the dihydrate, anhydrous salt or free base basis, so tell us which you need.

Why is amiloride a pale yellow powder?

Its aminopyrazine ring absorbs strongly in the UV and near visible range, which gives the yellow color. That strong absorbance also makes HPLC-UV a sensitive way to measure it.
