How Vanguard tests Cyclophosphamide

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 with UV at 195 nm, propanolamine and degradation products by thin-layer chromatography, chloride by potentiometric titration, a phosphate limit, pH, water determination, and bacterial endotoxins and sterility where labeled sterile. Full testing to the USP Cyclophosphamide 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

Tests and prices

$250

Questions about Cyclophosphamide 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 Cyclophosphamide monograph is available and quoted.

Is cyclophosphamide anhydrous or a monohydrate?

The USP material is usually the monohydrate. The anhydrous form weighs less per mole, so water content and the labeled form decide the basis for the assay.

Why is cyclophosphamide hard to detect by UV?

It has almost no UV chromophore, so the lab uses a detection method suited to the compound.

Is cyclophosphamide heat sensitive?

Yes. The monohydrate can lose water and melt at fairly low temperatures, and it hydrolyzes in solution. Samples should be kept cool and dry.
