| Test Item | Common Testing Method | Method Overview |
|---|---|---|
| Content Determination | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Utilizes a reversed-phase C18 column with mobile phases such as dilute sulfuric acid or phosphate buffer-methanol, and detects L-lactic acid peaks using a UV detector (typically around 210 nm). Quantification is performed via external standard or internal standard method. This method offers high specificity and good reproducibility, making it suitable for accurate determination of L-lactic acid content in raw materials and formulations. |
| Optical Purity (L-Configuration Ratio) | Enzymatic Method (L-Lactate Dehydrogenase Assay) | L-Lactate dehydrogenase (L-LDH) specifically catalyzes the conversion of L-lactic acid to pyruvate, reducing NAD⁺ to NADH. The increase in absorbance at 340 nm is measured to calculate L-lactic acid concentration. D-Lactic acid is not recognized by the enzyme, allowing assessment of optical purity. |
| pH Value | pH Meter Method | Prepare a water solution of L-lactic acid at a specified concentration, then directly measure its pH using a calibrated pH meter. This ensures acidity control within the acceptable range defined by pharmacopoeial or company specifications. |
| Specific Rotation | Polarimetry Method | Prepare a solution of L-lactic acid at a defined concentration and measure its optical rotation under standard conditions (temperature typically 20°C or 25°C, wavelength sodium D line at 589.3 nm) using a polarimeter. Specific rotation is calculated to identify the L-configuration and assess optical purity. |
| Related Substances (Impurities) | High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) | Uses gradient or isocratic HPLC systems to separate potential impurities in L-lactic acid (such as D-lactic acid, acetic acid, pyruvic acid, lactyl lactate, etc.). Impurity levels are assessed using peak area normalization or reference standard methods. |
| Moisture Content | Karl Fischer Titration | Employs Karl Fischer reagent to quantitatively react with water in the sample, measuring moisture content via either volumetric or coulometric titration. This method provides precise control over trace moisture levels in L-lactic acid. |
| Residue on Ignition / Ash Content | Residue on Ignition Test Method | A definite amount of sample is ignited at high temperature (typically 700–800°C) until constant weight is achieved. The mass of the residual inorganic matter is weighed to control total inorganic impurity levels. |
| Heavy Metals | Thioacetamide Method (or ICP-MS) | Follows pharmacopoeial procedures: thioacetamide generates hydrogen sulfide under acidic conditions, forming colored precipitates with heavy metal ions for visual limit testing; alternatively, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) may be used for quantitative analysis of trace heavy metal elements. |
