USP Analysis of Tetracyclines Application Note

About this manual

The document details an HPLC method for analyzing tetracycline antibiotics, specifically doxycycline, oxytetracycline, and metacycline. It explains that these compounds are analyzed using a reversed-phase PS/DVB PLRP-S column, which offers chemical stability and high pressure capability suitable for USP methods.

The note provides specific experimental conditions including sample preparation (20 mg Tetracycline in 25 mL 0.01 M HCl), column specifications (PLRP-S 100A), eluent composition, flow rate (1.0 mL/min), temperature (60°C), and UV detection at 254 nm. Results demonstrate good resolution of the tetracycline mix.
