meet the requirements.
Water, Method I 921:
not more than 12.0%.
Assay
Mobile phase, Standard preparation, Resolution solution, and Chromatographic system
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Minocycline Hydrochloride.
Assay preparation
Weigh and finely powder not less than 20 Tablets. Transfer an accurately weighed portion of the powder, equivalent to about 50 mg of minocycline (C23H27N3O7), to a 100-mL volumetric flask, add about 50 mL of water, and shake for about 1 minute. Dilute with water to volume, mix, and filter.
Procedure
Proceed as directed for Procedure in the Assay under Minocycline Hydrochloride. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of C23H27N3O7 in the portion of Tablets taken by the formula:
0.1C(rU / rS).
