title: The suitability of carboplatin solutions for 14-day continuous infusion by ambulatory pump: an HPLC-dynamic FAB study.
abstract: The stability of aqueous carboplatin solutions over 14 days has been studied at 37 and 60 degrees C. High-performance liquid chromatography and dynamic FAB mass spectrometry studies have shown that carboplatin solutions were stable at 37 degrees C but degraded at 60 degrees C. Fluid loss through evaporation was significant at the higher temperature.
