How Vanguard tests Esomeprazole magnesium

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 monographs cover identity by infrared spectroscopy, UV absorbance and HPLC retention time, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC and enantiomeric purity by chiral HPLC, magnesium by atomic absorption or strontium by titration, plus water content and color of solution. Full testing to the USP Esomeprazole Magnesium 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 Esomeprazole magnesium 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 assay and LC-MS for identity. Full testing to the USP Esomeprazole Magnesium monograph is available and quoted.

Which hydrate of esomeprazole magnesium do I have?

USP recognizes the trihydrate and the dihydrate, and they have different molecular weights. Tell us the form on your label so the assay is calculated on the right basis.

Can the test tell esomeprazole from omeprazole?

Not with the standard method, because esomeprazole is the S-enantiomer of omeprazole. The monograph checks enantiomeric purity by chiral HPLC, which is quoted separately.

Is the magnesium content part of the $250 test?

No. The $250 test measures the esomeprazole itself. The monograph's magnesium or strontium content test is part of full monograph testing.
