Abstract
Lactic acid has been measured in Milrinone Injection and Oral Solution by HPLC using an ion-exclusion polymeric column coupled with a reversed-phase guard column. This dual-column chromato-graphy was preceded by classical ion-exchange sample preparation to eliminate interfering excipient components. The lactic acid lactate content of USP lactic acid was converted to lactic acid in processing. It was also further characterized using a TLC separation.
