How Vanguard tests Primaquine phosphate

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, a phosphate test and HPLC retention time, assay by HPLC, organic impurities by HPLC, and loss on drying. Full testing to the USP Primaquine Phosphate 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 Primaquine phosphate 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 Primaquine Phosphate monograph is available and quoted.

What is quinocide?

Quinocide is a positional isomer of primaquine that can form during synthesis. It has the same mass as primaquine, so it is controlled by HPLC separation rather than by mass alone.

Why are there two phosphates in the formula?

Primaquine is supplied as the diphosphate salt, so the salt weighs much more than the base. Results are converted between primaquine phosphate and primaquine base using the molecular weights.

Is primaquine light sensitive?

Primaquine phosphate darkens with light and air, so samples should be kept closed and protected from light before testing.
