Event: Analysis of impurities in pharmaceutical products - Alleviating the pain of common challenges in the laboratory
Question | Answers |
---|---|
What should I do if I want to analyze elemental impurity, but I don't have microwave digestion as per USP requirements? How will that affect my sample and what is the alternative? | As per USP chapters 232/233, sample preparation can be carried out following any of the approaches mentioned below, depending upon the nature of the sample:
- If the sample is soluble in water, a simple dilution using acidified water can be used. - If sample is soluble in organic solvents, it can be prepared by simple dilution using that particular organic solvent as diluent. In this case, linearity standards should be prepared using the same solvent as diluent in order to match the matrix between standards and samples. The preferred organic solvents for this purpose are mostly polar solvents such as DMSO, DMF, acetonitrile, IPA etc. In case direct dissolution in organic solvent is the favored approach for sample preparation, it is important to ensure that ICP-OES/MS systems are equipped with appropriate accessories required in order to handle organic solvents effectively. - If sample is not completely soluble in water as well as organic solvents (e.g. tablets, capsules or raw materials), sample preparation has to be carried out using closed vessel microwave digestion to assure complete decomposition prior to analysis. As per USP guideline, sample must be prepared using closed vessel microwave digestion system (whenever required) as other sample preparation techniques, such as ashing, followed by dissolution in acidified water, open vessel digestion etc. can lead to the loss of volatile analytes, such as Hg, As, Cd and Pb. Evaporation will result in inaccurate determination of these analytes, affecting method accuracy. |
If I were to choose only one of the three equipment for Pharma Testing Lab, which of the three AA, ICP and ICP-MS would you suggest and why? | In such cases, a multi-element technique like ICP-OES or ICP-MS is certainly a better choice compared to a technique like AA, which requires analysis on individual elements sequentially. Among the two remaining techniques, the choice for either ICP-OES or ICP-MS should depend on the expected workload and also whether or not the instrument should be potentially used for other tasks in R+D in the future. For laboratories tasked with mainly QA/QC analysis and i.e. supporting a production, ICP-OES is a more cost-effective solution, whereas ICP-MS should be preferred in case an increase of samples or other applications is a realistic scenario for the future. |
Any modifications required for the existing instrument to comply with the new chapter 232? | Existing instruments can be used for the analysis of elemental impurities normally without modifications. However, there may be exceptions in certain scenarios. If for example ICP-OES is used for the screening of contaminants in effluent waters from production, whereas for USP compliance sample preparation in organic solvents is required, at least a modification of the sample introduction system is required. At the same time, it should be considered that potential carry over from one sample type to another may be a potential risk, especially for cases like the above mentioned. A dedicated instrument for impurity testing is a better choice in these cases to avoid laborious configuration changes, potential instrument downtime or QC/sample failures. The impact of such failures can exceed the investment into a dedicated instrument quickly. |
How does the technique for sample preparation avoid or minimize evaporation of Volatile elements such as Arsenic, Selenium and Mercury?
Can we apply the same sample preparation technique for heavy metal assay in solid and liquid dosage form? |
In order to preserve volatile analytes like As, Hg in the solution during sample preparation, it is recommended by USP to use microwave digestion systems when samples are not completely soluble either in water or in organic solvents.
It is difficult to generalize sample preparation method for any of the sample type because of the vastly different formulation including API and excipients. Depending upon the chemical and physical nature of the sample, preparation for analysis has to be accomplished either by dilution, dissolution or microwave digestion. Please note that the ultimate objective of the sample preparation is to destroy the sample matrix and to obtain ideally a crystal-clear liquid solution without presence of any suspended particles, sediments or precipitate. |
Which elements generally give false positive or false negative results? | There is no general rule or a generic answer to this question unfortunately.
False negatives most likely will result from incorrect sample preparation (such as the loss of volatile elements in an open digestion). Good examples for elements prone to artifacts in sample preparation are mercury and osmium. Both will benefit significantly from the addition of suitable reagents for stabilization. Usually, in both ICP-OES and ICP-MS, the presence of potential interferences, leading to false positive results, will always depend on the full composition of the sample and the sample preparation strategy (i.e. the acids used in the process). However, there are some elements that are suffering from specific influencing factors that can be avoided or corrected for with low or medium effort. For ICP-MS in particular, vanadium and chromium can be biased by the presence of chlorine, arsenic and selenium can suffer from false positive signals for example in the presence of rare earth elements in the sample, or, especially when direct dissolution in aqueous media is chosen for sample preparation, artificial signal enhancement through the presence of carbon. Cadmium and Mercury can be affected by polyatomic interferences from molybdenum or tungsten. To recognize the potential occurrence or presence of interferences, it is recommended to perform a full analysis of each unknown sample, including also element which are not subject to quantitative assessment. This can be accomplished through the acquisition of a full frame image (in ICP-OES) or a full mass spectrum (in ICP-MS). Both will add only a few seconds to the analysis time per sample but can provide valuable insights into troubleshooting in case results are not straightforward to interpret. To run survey scans is also a good means to recognize potential contaminations in the process. |
Do you recommend following the guideline of sample collection for analysis? What are important factors which may contribute to the validity of the results? | There is no such guideline available for sample collection as far as elemental analysis in pharmaceutical products is concerned as per USP 232/233 chapters. Generally, one needs to be careful while collecting sample in order to fulfill general sampling requirements such as homogeneity, representative sampling of the bulk material etc.
It is also important to avoid the use of any metal spatulas or any other metal or glass apparatus while collecting a sample, as the use of such materials can potentially lead to contaminations with a potential analyte of interest. The most common challenge with elemental analysis is cross contamination of analytes from apparatus, reagents, water and from environment itself. One needs to be extremely careful and follow necessary steps in order to avoid such issues. |
What is the procedure for sample preparation for phosphorus analysis in ICP-OES? | It depends on the form in which phosphorous is present. Phosphates are not soluble in water and are slightly soluble in acidic medium. One needs to be very careful in order to avoid cross contamination from the atmosphere and surrounding while preparing standards and samples. |
As per chapter 233 parameters "Detectability" (spiked sample solution 1.0J and 0.8J), how can I prepare it in liquid form dosage? | In order to calculate J-value, it is required to consider the permissible daily exposure (PDE) depending upon the route of administration (oral, parenteral or inhalation) of the product, the maximum daily dose and the dilution factor used for sample preparation (in order to match the working range of the analytical instrument used).
J value (1J) = PDE /(Total Dilution x Max Daily Dose) Once the J values is determined, other levels of J value can be prepared by serial dilution of stock solution (e.g. 10J). Spiking should ideally be accomplished before the start of the sample preparation, so that influences of all steps in the process are included in the following determination of the accuracy. |

Event: Simple to the CORE – The new Thermo Scientific Vanquish Core HPLC system
Question | Answers |
---|---|
How can this Technology be more easy for students? | Chromeleon CDS can support academic learning through streamlined workflows using eWorkflows. This simplifies sequence setup and ensures correct methods and reports are used for each anaylsis. With Chromeleon 7.3 CDS, students can install it on their own PCs, get a 60 day temporary license, take their data on e.g. a thumb drive in CMBX format and analyse this data remotely, offline. |
How fast does HPLC show the result when having mixture of two different molecules in the solution? How about with both having different solubility in the solvent? | The time it takes to separate two analytes depends on the nature of the compounds and the combination of mobile and stationary phase. If only simple separation is required, it is possible to complete it in less than a minute. Separations of very similar compounds might not even be completed after 30 minutes or more. |
What happens if my sample solvent is stronger or weaker than my mobile phase? | Injecting a weaker-eluting solvent, for instance a water-rich solvent, in reversed phase HPLC typically has a positive effect. Analytes are enriched at the head of the column until the eluting takes effect. This typically leads to narrower peaks and therefore better peak resolution. With a stronger eluting sample solvent, for instance methanol for RP chromatography, early eluting peaks might show a fronting. The extent of the effect depends on the injection volume and the column volume. It can also play a role in method transfer. With Vanquish Core we published an application note that helps with how to deal with this. |
How long will HPLC systems be supported and tests ranges extended in the era of Tandem Mass Spec? | A great thing about Vanquish Core is the flexibility of the platform. One can easily combine different types of pumps and add-ons; for instance column switching valves. Vanquish Core will therefore also be able to support tandem mass spec analyses. The software infrastructure to support this will be available in the near future. With respect to the time, Vanquish Core is technically supported with spares and wears: The product has just been launched and will remain on the market for several years. From the time the product is no longer manufactured, Thermo Fisher Scientific guarantees at least 7 years of full product support. |
Is Vanquish core suitable for small labs? Is there a requirement of minimum samples analyzed each day to have optimum benefit from the system? Can it be controlled from desktop PC like CM7 software? |
Chromeleon 7.3 CDS is the recommended software for the Vanquish Core HPLC. It supports working locally on a single PC and also remote working via a network so the instrument can be controlled and monitored from an office along with data processing and reporting |
How do you check for reproducibility and robustness? | The Chromeleon ICH Method Validation Extension Pack provides everything you need to perform reproducibility and robustness testing with predefined report templates to automate reporting. |
Can you explain about UHPLC? Is it robust and reliable? | UHPLC was commercialized in 2004. Since then, we as a manufacturer have seen an initial adoption of the technology in research and development laboratories. Meanwhile, the pressure capabilities of most routine HPLC instruments have increased to at least 600 bar (8700 psi). A typical approach is to recommend 80% of the pressure capabilities of an HPLC instrument as maximum pressure for permanent use. With Vanquish Core, 700 bar therefore provides you with 480 bar (7000 psi) permanent pressure. The instrument is in fact designed to support this very well. UHPLC columns are based on the use of sub-2 µm particles. One of the issues with that is that the interstitual spaces are smaller than for conventional HPLC columns. These columns therefore require suitable filtering of solvents and samples to prevent clogging. My personal opinion is that many old HPLC applications can run faster using solid core particles of for instance 2.5 - 3.0 µm particle size, for instance in 3 mm i.d. columns. It is a great compromise for routine, providing much better performance than 5 µm particles in 4.6 mm i.d. columns and are not as likely to clog as sub-2 µm particle columns. |
Is there a difference if I run a similar sample using the same column and same method on UHPLC as to compare to the same on HPLC? What are the differences? | Yes, there is. UHPLC columns use sub-2 µm particles that are more efficient than conventional HPLC columns, filled for instance with 5 µm particles. With UHPLC columns it is possible to achieve the same level of separation in a shorter time. A side effect is higher operating pressure, therefore the instrument must be suitable for these higher pressures. Another side effect can be that the interstitual volume between the particles of the column s smaller compared to HPLC columns. To avoid clogging, a suitable solvent and sample filtering is important or robust operation. |
Compared to the previous HPLC model, what is new technology introduced in the Vanquish CORE system? Any improvement done on the solvent monitoring system? | The Vanquish Core webinar (available here) offered a good overview on the long list of new features of the Vanquish Core system. The solvent level monitoring system is introduced with Vanquish Core, and is compatible with the rest of the Vanquish platforms. |
How is the performance of the Vanquish Core HPLC system comparable to that of Water;s or Shimadzu's Pinnacle series systems? | Vanquish Core is the most modern routine HPLC instrument. It offers a higher level of performance and dependability than any other HPLC instrument. Some highlights are the superior hardware design, diagnostics, solvent level monitoring, method transfer features and the flexibility of the instrument. Our testers confirmed that Vanquish Core allows them to do their job more reliable and more efficient than with previous, other vendor instruments. |
What can be done if the Vanquish Core system encounters an error? | The instrument is designed in an intuitive way. It provides tools supporting novice users. In case of error or questions, we have a very strong team of supporters and engineers to help. |
How to get good resolution and sensitivity for the separation using buffer in mobile phase system? | This is really about how to design a separation. I can recommend the book "Practical HPLC Method Development" from Kirkland, Snyder and Glajch that provides a great overview over all factors that play a role. |
How many compounds can be analyzed efficiently in one run? | This very much depends on the nature of the column and the separation setup. Typical HPLC runs separate up to 10-15 compounds. Examples can be found here: https://appslab.thermofisher.com/ |

Event: Concepts for Application of New Instrument and Software Features for the Transfer of EP and USP Methods in HPLC
Question | Answers |
---|---|
What would be the main focus if we have the HPLC method and would want to apply in UPLC instrument? | If you want to apply an existing method running on a new UHPLC (identical to UPLC, which is a Waters Coporation trademark) instrument this means normnally you want to accelerate you method. This means you change the column format (often 4.6 mm with 5 µm particale) to lower inner diamter columns (2.1 mm) and sub 2 µm column particle size. In such case, the gradient table, injection volume and flow rate need to be changed. To accomplish this there are great online tools avaialble will do the match for you. In Chromeleon CDS you can calculate these change directly from your existing method and apply this new method to you instrument. However, if you would like to use the identical column (4.6 mm ID) you check two main aspects. Becasue the dispersion of a modern UHPLC instrument is way less than stnadrd HPLC instrument you need to take care of any solvent mismatches that might occure when for instance injecting high organic samples (stronger elution strength than eluent). In addition, due to the narrow tubing care should be taken to only work with really clean and completely dissolved ssamples oion order to avoid clogging of the tubing. |
How to decrease the sample concentration and volume for analysis if we have small amount of prepared samples? |
There are multiple ways how to reduce the amount of sample needed for the analysis with a liquid chromatograph. 1. Reduce simply the injection volume while simultaeously using high recovery vials. Using the most sensitive UV detectors (e.g. Light pipe technology) or changing to an alternative detection technology (Fluorescence, Charged Aerosol, mass detection) can help to increase the sensitivty. Concrete guidelines would depend analyte physical properties. Today´s HPLC amnd UHPLC instrument can inject volumes as low as 1 µL or even below reproducible. 2. Lower injection volumes are generally needed when going from standard bore 4.6 mm columns to smaller ID columns such as 2.1 mm, 1mm or even smaller ID columns. Within the portfolio of Thermo Scientific LC instrument we have instruments for all of these applications (use Chromeleon or online calculator) |
The common LC Method Transfer Calculator only able to convert between column type, method condition such as flow and gradient table of mobile phase. I'm having trouble to transfer the existing method to other size column which the method come with FLD detection programme with a set of excitation/emission wavelengths between time (eg ISO 15753-2016 method). | To develop the most sensitive FLD detection method our fluorescence detectors enable a 3D flied acquisition to determine optimal excitation and emmission wavelength. Detailed guidelines can be found in this method development handbook . |
What is the challenge to get good accuracy during the method transfer involving instruments from different vendors or with different configurations? | Vanquish HPLC and UHPLC systems are built to optimze the analytical precision. In order to match the previous analysis on a new instrument e.g. A Vanquish Core instrument, we implemented a couple of unique features to make that transfer as easy as possible. 1. Tunable Gradient Delay Volume to adopt the GDV of the previous instrument 2. Variable column thermostatting options 3. Custom injection programs to deal with high organic strength samples |
Can HPLC can be applied for the invention of new drugs? | HPLC is a tool that is extremly widely used in pharmaceutical research. This technique is needed to qualitatively and quantitatively characterize samples. This includes drug candidate analysis with often an LC-MS instrument as well as to control the quality during pharmaceutical production |
challenges while analytical method developed on UPLC and transferring on normal HPLC system. | Transferring a method that was originally developed on an UHPLC instrument and now needs to be transferred to a standard HPLC instrument can be challenging but depends on the used column format. For instance if the method developed on the UHPLC is using a HPLC like 4.6 mm column, there will be little problems to transfer the method. However, if the method is based for instance on a 2.1 mm column with 1.9 µm particle the problems might be more visible. The most severe challenges will be the overall system pressure (depending on column length) as well as the system dispersion. For the post column dispersion especially the flow cell volume needs attention. Also the injection volumes are often small for UHPLC analysis. It needs to be checked if the HPLC instrument is able to deal with this. The best HPLC instrument on the market to also run UHPLC kind of applications is the Vanquish Core instrument. This instrument as pressure limit of 700 bars, post column dispersion characteristics can be easily changes by using fingertight Viper fitting and low volume flow cells and the autosampler is able to inject typical UHPLC sample volumes. |
Method and condition replication to achieve robustness in another laboratory for method validation of a newly developed analysis method. | The Chromeleon ICH Method Validation pack provides everything you need to perform reprodcibility and rebostness testing with predifined and automoated reporting during your method development process. In addition, dedicated software tools, for instance AutoRobust from Chromsword, are tested to work with Thermo Scientific LC instruments and accelerate the method development process |
How does sample pre mixing with mobile phase help improve the peak shape? | Sample premixing aims to reduce the elution power of the sample which is a common cause for poor peak shapes, besides any column effects. With a lower elution power the sample can be focused on the column head. With this dilution approach the analyte concentration will be decreased and thus need a higher injection volume. A best first appropach would be to keep the mass on column of the analyte constant. Care most be taken that the analytes are still soluble in the weaker mobile phase and do not preticipate |
What's the most remarkable thing about this technology? | Vanquish Core has several features to facilitate the transfer of methods, so bringing an existing method to a new instrument such as the Vanquish Core. This is: - a freely tunable gradient delay volume to match the gradient delay volume of other common HPLC instruments - multiple column thermostatting options to mimic other vendor thermostatting concepts - Custom Inject Programs for in needle sample dilution prior to injection |
In the case of analysis of additives in emulsion and aqueous samples, there are difficulties such as insolubility and precipitation during pretreatment. Please advise any helpful tips or measurement considerations. | For liquid chromatography it is mandatory to have the analyte dissolved. Thermodynamic and kinetic considerations need to be taken. Common advices such as ultrosonic bath, heating etc need to be evaluated in a case by case study |
How effective is method transfer for herbal products? | The challenge for herbal products is the complexity of the sample and chromatogram. Vanquish Core is the best instrument for such transfer as it comes with a unique feature set to make the method transfer as easy as possible |
How do we identify the method used in sample running? | Chromeleon CDS provides a sequence table with all samples used and the respective instrument methods. Chromeleon audit trail features will log all this data so that any time the instrument details for a particular sample can be reviewed. |
1. Which items should/must be included in the comparasion protocol/report? (linearity, solution stability, Robutness, specificity..and so on.) 2. (continuted), how to set the criteria? 3. Can Thermo help to study the comparsion report and validate? |
For detailed answers we would need to get more details. However, in general Thermo Scietific HPLC experts are happy to help with the transfer of analytical methods to Thermo Scientific HPLC systems. Contact our HPLC experts now. |
How to overcome the issue of sample denaturation due to less stable in unfavorable environment in HPLC? | The common causes that accelerate sample degradation are temperature, light induced oxidation or oxidation caused by air oxygen. To remove the temperature effect all our autosampler can be ordered with a very effective cooling option. Minimizing the light effect can be done by turning of the light in the autosampler or using brown glass vials. For oxidation caused by oxygen is probably the hardest to fix. Filling the vials under an nitrogen atmosphere might help here. Quality of vials and closures are also something to consider. Thermo Scientific offers a broad range of excellent vials, well plates and closures. |
How to minimize the deviations in the chromatograms? Are there usefull ways to make the chromatogram always consistent? | There are three considerations I would list:
1. Differences in gradient delay volume. Here Vanquish Core is the only instrument available that can physically change the gradient delay volume seemlessly on a microliter scale 2. Differences in pre or post column dispersion. For pre-column dispersion Vanquish LC systems offer Customer Injection Programs to to for instance dilute high orgnic samples. For post column dispersion, the biggest influence comes from the flow cell. Here we provide different flow cell volumes 3. Thermostatting. This is the mode of thermostatting but also if the eluent is pre-heated or not. Vanquish Core offer multiple heating modes and pre-heating option to mimic all of these |
What are the top three considerations when transferring a method between HPLCs of different manufactures? | There are three considerations I would list:
1. Differences in gradient delay volume. Here Vanquish Core is the only instrument available that can physically change the gradient delay volume seemlessly on a microliter scale 2. Differences in pre or post column dispersion. For pre-column dispersion Vanquish LC systems offer Customer Injection Programs to to for instance dilute high orgnic samples.

This is the mode of thermostatting but also if the eluent is pre-heated or not. Vanquish Core offer multiple heating modes and pre-heating option to mimic all of these |
For EP/USP method transfer, what are some verification parameters that we should be aware of? | In general there are no regulatory guidelines on which parameter need to be measured. In any case, it is important to work out beforehand a clear method trasnfer plan with pre-defined acceptance criteria such as area precision, LOD, linearity, robustness, specificty etc. Also statistical analysis are important and different approaches exists. The Chromeleon ICH Method Validation pack provides everything you need to perform reprodcibility and rebustness testing with predifined and automoated reporting during your method development process. |
What are some of the basic instrument care that have to be taken into consideration when we do method transfer? | When doing a method transfer with Vanquish Core no special care has to be taken for instrument. The Method transfer kit is an optional part for the Vanquish Core HPLC system. This part will help to have a broader range of gradient delay volume for mimicing other instruments. Thus we recommend this optional part for the purpose of method transfer. |
What are some ways for method and condition replication to achieve robustness in another laboratory for method validation of a newly developed analysis method? | We recommend thorough robustness testing during the method velopment process. Typical parameters to check are influence of varifying pH value, different column lots etc |
What are regulatory guidelines over method transfers between various vendor instruments? What changes are allowed in hardware/software parameters? | In the method transfer for HPLC section of general chapter <621> in the USP41, modifications of the method are tolerated within limits. For the gradient delay volume (named dwell volume in the USP) it is stated that, if adjustments are necessary, change in column packing (maintaining the same chemistry), the duration of an initial isocratic hold (when prescribed), and/or gradient delay volume adjustments are allowed.” This means that changes of the gradient delay volume as done by the method transfer kit are explicitly approved as a suitable tool for method transfer. For the approach with Vanquish Core the gradient delay volume can be altered with any need for re-qualification of the instrument as now part are exchanged. The settings to change the gradient delay volume are tracked in the instrument audit trail. |
How to optimize the auto/manual integration during the method transfer of one brand of HPLC to Thermo UHPLC? | Chromatography Data systems has can integrate peaks in multiple ways. The unique SmartPeaks of Chromeleon CDS feature would even show a comparison of different integration procedures. This way difference comming for instance from a valley to valley or drop perpendiculum integration can be directly compared. |

Event: Rapid and Reliable Environmental Wet Chemical Analysis
Question | Answers |
---|---|
How is the sensitivity of chemical measurement in mineral water production affected if it is contaminated with high amounts of several high organic chemical compounds? | Photometric based discrete analyzers use a highly selective enzymatic or colorimetric reagents that are not affected by the organics. High organic loaded samples that are dark colored will influence the turbidity-based measurements. If the contamination is too high, it is recommended to pass the sample through the sample cleanup cartridge before measurement. pH and Conductivity cell may get fouled over a period of time and hence a time to time cleaning and activation is necessary. |
Is there any rapid technique for detection of heavy metals in drinking water available? | Depends on the heavy metal and the concentration, the Gallery platform can determine hexavalent chromium, total iron, copper, zinc and few other metals by photometric method. These methods are rapid and reliable to a very low concentration and fulfills regulatory method requirements. If you are looking for spectrum of metals in low concentration, then Inductively coupled plasma could be a good choice. If speciation is critical then a hyphenated technique like Ion chromatography coupled with CP is a good choice. |
Do you have solutions of auto-sampling for gallery and gallery plus? | Both Gallery and Gallery plus has sample and reagent compartment. Sample capacity differs by model. Gallery can accommodate 90 samples and Gallery plus can accommodate 108 samples. |
Does NSF related regulatory testing requirement(s) as applicable to drinking water are satisfied for measurement accuracy using Thermo Scientific discrete analyzer / Thermo Scientific Dionex ion chromatograph? | The National Science Foundation (NSF) follows American National Standards Institute (ANSI) development process. The United States Environmental Protection Agencies (USEPA) Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the Clean Water Act (CWA) are the two important environmental laws governing water regulations. Clean Water Act Methods Update Rule for the Analysis of Effluent 40 CFR part 136 and many of the regulatory bodies, such as the ASTM, ISO, DIN recommends wet chemical methods waste water analysis. Both Thermo Scientific Gallery Discrete analyzer and Dionex Ion chromatograph fulfills several US EPA methods. Further resource can be referred here. |
For sulphate analysis after addition of Barium Chloride, the mixture needs to be homogenized for 3-5 mins as Barium Sulphate tends to precipitate and settle at the bottom of the cuvette therefore affecting the absorbance. So how this homogenization is carried out within your analyzer? | Sulphate ion is precipitated in a strongly acid medium with Barium Chloride. The resulting turbidity is measured photometrically at 405 nm and compared with appropriate calibration standard solutions. Gallery systems has a dedicated mixture, which mixes and homogenizes samples and reagents. Further reading on Discrete Analyzer Systems. |
