Assay
Diluent, Mobile phase, Standard flurbiprofen related compound A preparation, Standard preparation, and System suitability preparation
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Flurbiprofen Sodium.
Assay preparation
Use the undiluted Ophthalmic Solution.
Chromatographic system
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Flurbiprofen Sodium, using a 4.0-mm × 5-cm guard column that contains 5-µm packing L1.
Procedure
Separately inject equal volumes (about 15 µL) of the Standard preparation and the Assay preparation into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the areas for the major peaks. Calculate the quantity of flurbiprofen sodium (C15H12FNaO2·2H2O) in each mL of the Ophthalmic Solution taken by the formula:
(302.27 / 244.27)C(rU / rS)
in which 302.27 and 244.27 are the molecular weights of flurbiprofen sodium dihydrate and anhydrous flurbiprofen, respectively; C is the concentration, in mg per mL, of USP Flurbiprofen RS in the Standard preparation; and rU and rS are the peak responses obtained from the Assay preparation and the Standard preparation, respectively.
