Assay—
Dilute phosphoric acid solution, Tetraethylammonium chloride solution, Mobile phase, Standard preparation, System suitability preparation, and Chromatographic system—
Proceed as directed in the Assay under Pralidoxime Chloride.
Assay preparation—
Select an accurately counted number of containers of Pralidoxime Chloride for Injection, the combined contents of which are equivalent to about 10 g of pralidoxime chloride. Dissolve the contents of each container in water, and combine all of the solutions in a 1000-mL volumetric flask. Rinse each container with water, and add the rinsings to the volumetric flask. Dilute with water to volume, and mix. Transfer 25.0 mL of the resulting solution to a 200-mL volumetric flask, dilute with water to volume, and mix. Transfer 2.0 mL of this solution to a 100-mL volumetric flask, dilute with Mobile phase to volume, and mix.
Procedure—
Proceed as directed for Procedure in the Assay under Pralidoxime Chloride. Calculate the quantity, in mg, of pralidoxime chloride (C7H9ClN2O) in each container of Pralidoxime Chloride for Injection taken by the formula:
400(C / N)(rU / rS)
in which N is the number of containers selected for the Assay preparation, and the other terms are as defined therein.
