How Vanguard tests Atenolol

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 by HPLC, residue on ignition, a chloride limit test, and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Atenolol monograph is available and quoted.

What's reported

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

Questions about Atenolol 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 quantity and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Atenolol monograph is available and quoted.

Why does atenolol need special HPLC conditions?

Atenolol is polar and elutes early on standard reversed-phase columns, so methods use ion-pairing or polar-retentive conditions to separate it from its impurities.

Is atenolol a racemate?

Yes, atenolol is supplied as a racemic mixture. The standard HPLC test reports total atenolol; separating the enantiomers needs a chiral method, which is quoted separately.
