| Test Item | Common Testing Methods | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Purity (Content Determination) | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Uses a reversed-phase C18 column or amino column, with water-acetonitrile or buffer salts as mobile phase. Detection by UV detector (200–210 nm) or refractive index detector (RID), quantification via external standard method to calculate GlcNAc content. Suitable for high-purity sample analysis. |
| Ion Chromatography (IC) | Separation using a strong anion exchange column, detection by conductivity detector. No derivatization required, suitable for high-sensitivity quantification of water-soluble sugars and ionic impurities. | |
| Enzymatic Assay | Utilizes N-acetylglucosamine oxidase to specifically catalyze GlcNAc into hydrogen peroxide, followed by a colorimetric reaction using peroxidase. Absorbance is measured by spectrophotometry, suitable for selective detection in biological samples or complex matrices. | |
| Water Content | Karl Fischer Titration (K-F) | Quantitative reaction between water and an iodine-sulfur dioxide-pyridine-methanol system to determine trace moisture. A pharmacopoeia-recognized method with high precision, suitable for moisture control in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). |
| Drying Method (Vacuum Drying) | Drying the sample to constant weight at a specified temperature (e.g., 105 °C) under reduced pressure, calculating the percentage weight loss. Suitable for preliminary moisture estimation, with lower accuracy than K-F. | |
| Residue on Ignition (Sulfated Ash) | Residue on Ignition Method (Pharmacopoeia Method) | Sample is incinerated at high temperature (500–600 °C) until constant weight, and the residual inorganic matter is weighed to calculate ash content. Used to assess total inorganic impurities. |
| Heavy Metal Content | Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) or ICP-MS | After sample digestion, heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and arsenic are analyzed using AAS or ICP-MS. Complies with ICH Q3D or pharmacopoeial heavy metal limits. |
| Residual Solvents | Gas Chromatography (GC) | Headspace or direct injection is used, separation performed on a capillary column for residual solvents like methanol, ethanol, acetone, etc., with FID detection. Complies with ICH Q3C standards. |
| Isomers / Impurity Analysis | HPLC-MS / LC-MS | Uses mass spectrometry coupled with chromatography to separate and identify structurally related impurities (e.g., N-acetylmannosamine, glucosamine). Used for impurity profiling with high sensitivity for qualitative and quantitative analysis. |
| pH Value | pH Meter Method | Sample is prepared as a solution of specified concentration (e.g., 10 mg/mL) and pH is measured using a calibrated pH meter, ensuring compliance with the acid-base range required for formulations or APIs (typically pH 5.0–7.0). |
| Solubility and Appearance | Visual Inspection + Solubility Test | Observe sample color, crystal form, and presence of foreign matter; test solubility in water, ethanol, etc., to meet pharmacopoeial specifications for physical appearance. |
| Microbial Limits | Microbial Count + Control Organism Testing | According to ChP General Chapter 1105/1106, perform total aerobic microbial count, mold and yeast count, and test for specified control organisms such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp., ensuring sterility or low bioburden. |
| Glycosidic Bond / Structural Confirmation | Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (¹H-NMR / ¹³C-NMR) | Confirm molecular structure through characteristic proton signals (e.g., H-1, H-2, N-Acetyl methyl peak) and carbon signals. Used for identification and structural verification, a high-level quality control method. |
