title: Rapid and accurate stability-indicating assay for nitroglycerin.
abstract: A rapid high-pressure liquid chromatographic method for determining the nitroglycerin concentration in liquid dosage forms and intravenous admixture solutions is presented. A coefficient of variation of less than 1.8% was achieved over the concentration range most commonly encountered (50-500 microgram/ml). A variable wavelength detector (lambda = 218 nm) and a micro-alkyl phenyl column were employed. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-tetrahydrofuran-water (26:10:64). Total analysis time was 12 min.
