The column temperature is maintained at 75, the injection port temperature is maintained at 250, and the detector temperature is maintained at 300. Chromatograph the Standard solution, and record the peak responses as directed for Procedure: the relative retention times are about 0.34, 0.38, 0.57, and 1.0 for acetone, ethyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, and n-butanol, respectively; the resolution, R, between acetone and ethyl acetate is not less than 2.0; the tailing factor for each of the analyte peaks is not more than 2; and the relative standard deviation for replicate injections is not more than 2%.
Procedure— Separately inject equal volumes (about 1.0 µL) of the Standard solution and the Test solution into the chromatograph, record the chromatograms, and measure the peak responses for acetone, ethyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, and n-butanol. Calculate the percentages of acetone, ethyl acetate, and isobutyl acetate in the portion of Tiamulin Fumarate taken by the formula:
