How Vanguard tests Aminobenzoate sodium

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 Aminobenzoate Sodium monograph covers identity by infrared spectroscopy, HPLC retention time and a sodium test, assay by HPLC, aniline and p-toluidine by GC with flame ionization detection, organic impurities by HPLC, pH, and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Aminobenzoate Sodium monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

Questions about Aminobenzoate sodium 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 Aminobenzoate Sodium monograph is available and quoted.

Is the sodium salt tested the same way as the potassium salt?

The aminobenzoate part is measured the same way in both. The result is reported on the salt you name, since the sodium and potassium salts have different molecular weights.

Why does the monograph check for aniline and p-toluidine?

They are possible process impurities in aminobenzoic acid. The monograph limits them by GC, and they are also visible in an LC-MS screen.
