[INSIGHT FROM CUSTOMER] Interview with Dr. Mirlinda Biba We interviewed Dr. Mirlinda Biba, a Principal Scientist in the Analytical R&D department at Merck in the United States. She has been working with Supercritical Fluid Chromatography (SFC) for almost 20 years. She is also a member of the Enabling Technologies Consortium (ETC) and joined the project to develop a new preparative SFC instrument. |

[INSIGHT FROM CUSTOMER] Precompetitive collaborations focused on the development of new technologies for conducting pharmaceutical research and development are becoming increasingly popular. This article reports on one of the first development projects from the recently formed Enabling Technologies Consortium (ETC): the creation of a new instrument for carrying out mid-scale preparative supercritical fluid chromatography purifications. |

[REPORT] In this study, methods were established for analysis of hydroxychloroquine sulfate and related substances following European Pharmacopoeia (EP10.0) and for determination of hydroxychloroquine sulfate content in tablets following US Pharmacopoeia(USP 43). Using a Shimadzu UHPLC system, excellent separation was achieved between hydroxychloroquine sulfate and impurity C, as well as between impurity B and impurity C referring to the EP assay. |

Based on the conditions recorded in FDA documents, we developed a method for the analysis of NDMA in ranitidine drug substance and capsule preparations using the Shimadzu LCMS-8050 Liquid Chromatograph-Tandem Mass Spectrometer, and a method using the LCMS-9030 Q-TOF Mass Spectrometer for the reference of relevant testers.
