IDENTIFICATION
ASSAY
• Procedure
Sample: 100 mg of Lysine Acetate
Blank: Mix 3 mL of formic acid and 50 mL of glacial acetic acid.
Titrimetric system
(See Titrimetry 
541
.)
541.)Mode: Direct titration
Titrant: 0.1 N perchloric acid VS
Endpoint detection: Potentiometric
Analysis: Dissolve the Sample in 3 mL of formic acid and 50 mL of glacial acetic acid. Titrate with the Titrant. Perform the Blank determination.
Calculate the percentage of lysine acetate (C6H14N2O2·C2H4O2) in the Sample taken:
Result = {[(VS 
VB) × N × F]/W} × 100
VB) × N × F]/W} × 100| VS | = | = Titrant volume consumed by the Sample (mL) |
| VB | = | = Titrant volume consumed by the Blank (mL) |
| N | = | = actual normality of the Titrant (mEq/mL) |
| F | = | = equivalency factor, 103.1 mg/mEq |
| W | = | = Sample weight (mg) |
Acceptance criteria: 98.0%–102.0% on the dried basis
