How Vanguard tests Doxorubicin 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 HPLC retention time, infrared spectroscopy and a chloride test, assay by HPLC, related compounds by HPLC, residual acetone and alcohol by GC, pH, and water content. Full testing to the USP Doxorubicin 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 Doxorubicin hydrochloride 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 Doxorubicin Hydrochloride monograph is available and quoted.

Can the test tell doxorubicin from daunorubicin or epirubicin?

Daunorubicin differs in mass and retention time and is a known related compound. Epirubicin is a stereoisomer with the same mass, so it is distinguished by HPLC retention time rather than by LC-MS.

Is doxorubicin light sensitive?

Yes. Doxorubicin degrades under light and in basic solution, and the aglycone doxorubicinone is a common degradation product. Samples should be kept dark and cool.

Does doxorubicin stick to containers?

Doxorubicin can adsorb to glass and some plastics at low concentrations, so dilute solutions are prepared in suitable containers and analyzed promptly.
