| Test Item | Common Testing Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Assay | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Utilizes a reversed-phase C18 column with methanol-water or acetonitrile-water as the mobile phase, detected by a UV detector (275–280 nm), and quantified using the external standard method. Suitable for accurate assay analysis of high-purity samples. |
| Purity Analysis | Gas Chromatography (GC) | Applicable to samples with good volatility; after derivatization (e.g., silylation), samples are injected and analyzed using an FID detector to effectively separate impurities and assess the purity of the main component. |
| Structure Confirmation | Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry (UV-Vis) | Utilizes the characteristic absorption peak of 4-methylcatechol at approximately 275 nm; spectral comparison with a reference standard enables preliminary structural confirmation and concentration estimation. |
| Impurity Detection | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) | Combines the separation capability of HPLC with the structural identification power of mass spectrometry to qualitatively and quantitatively detect organic impurities and degradation products, offering high sensitivity and specificity. |
| Residual Solvents | Gas Chromatography (GC) | According to pharmacopoeial methods (e.g., ICH Q3C), detects organic solvents potentially residual from manufacturing processes (e.g., methanol, ethanol, acetone), using headspace injection with FID detection. |
| Water Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Measures water content in samples using either volumetric or coulometric methods, suitable for quality control of compounds sensitive to moisture. |
| Heavy Metals | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) | Detects heavy metal residues such as lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury, in compliance with quality standards for pharmaceutical or food additive applications. |
| Melting Point | Melting Point Determination | Uses a melting point apparatus to determine the melting temperature range, compared with the reference value (literature value: approximately 68–70°C) for preliminary identification and purity assessment. |
