title: A liquid chromatographic method using a reversed-phase hybrid stationary phase to control potential impurities of imipramine hydrochloride.
abstract: A reversed-phase liquid chromatographic method has been developed for the detection and control of impurities of imipramine hydrochloride at a level of 0.2 microg/ml (corresponding to 0.02 per cent in the procedure described). This method is included in a proposed revision of the monograph (Pharmeuropa 18.4) and replaces the thin-layer chromatographic method currently employed.
