| Test Item | Common Testing Method | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Ornithine Content Determination | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | A reversed-phase C18 column is used to separate ornithine, which is first derivatized (e.g., with OPA or dansyl chloride) into a fluorescent or UV-absorbing derivative. After elution with mobile phase, detection is performed using a fluorescence or UV detector. This method offers high sensitivity and good reproducibility, making it suitable for accurate quantification of ornithine in raw materials and formulations. |
| Purity and Impurity Analysis | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (HPLC-MS) | Combines the separation power of HPLC with the structural identification capability of mass spectrometry, enabling simultaneous detection of the main ornithine component and related impurities (such as synthesis intermediates, degradation products, or other amino acids). It is used for quality control of high-purity samples and impurity profiling. |
| Amino Acid Composition Analysis | Amino Acid Analyzer | Uses a dedicated amino acid analyzer with cation-exchange chromatography followed by post-column derivatization with ninhydrin and detection at visible wavelengths. This method systematically determines ornithine content within complex amino acid mixtures and is commonly applied in quality control of nutritional formulations or compound amino acid products. |
| Chiral Purity Testing | Chiral High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (Chiral HPLC) | Employs chiral stationary phase columns to separate D- and L-ornithine enantiomers, allowing assessment of chiral purity. This is particularly important for pharmaceutical-grade L-ornithine to ensure absence of harmful enantiomeric impurities. |
| Moisture and Residual Solvents | Karl Fischer Titration Gas Chromatography (GC) |
Karl Fischer titration is used to determine moisture content in ornithine raw materials; gas chromatography is employed to detect residual organic solvents (e.g., methanol, ethanol, acetone) from manufacturing processes, ensuring compliance with pharmacopoeial requirements for loss on drying and residual solvents. |
| Physicochemical Property Tests | Melting Point Determination, Specific Optical Rotation Measurement | Measures the melting point range and specific optical rotation ([α]D) of ornithine to verify whether its physical properties meet specifications. Pharmaceutical-grade L-ornithine typically exhibits a defined optical rotation range (e.g., +8.5° to +9.5°), useful for identification and preliminary purity assessment. |
