USP Compatible Legacy “L” Columns

Many pharmaceutical companies use chromatography to analyze their products. Chromatography is easy to perform, and provides accurate, repeatable data. However, to determine repeatability, U.S. Pharmacopoeia developed a validation process. USP validation for HPLC methods is detailed in the “Analytical Performance Parameters” (USP {225}). The typical analytical characteristics used in method validation include: accuracy, precision, specificity, detection limit, quantitation limit, linearity, range, and ruggedness. SIELC has developed the Legacy column, which can be used in many USP Validated methods.
