Identification
Place in a separator a volume of Oral Topical Solution, equivalent to about 300 mg of lidocaine hydrochloride, and extract with four 15-mL portions of chloroform, discarding the chloroform extracts. Add 2 mL of 2 N sodium hydroxide to the aqueous solution remaining in the separator, and extract with four 15-mL portions of chloroform. Combine the chloroform extracts, and evaporate with the aid of a current of warm air to dryness. Dissolve the crystals so obtained in solvent hexane, evaporate with the aid of warm air, and dry the residue in vacuum over silica gel for 24 hours: the residue so obtained responds to Identification test A under Lidocaine.
