Our goal in developing this guide was to illustrate
some of the ways which USP/NF methods may be
"modified" in order to improve system performance or
increase sample throughput. The requirements of
many of the validated HPLC methods have been left
intentionally vague in order to allow some room for
modification to fit specific circumstances. For instance,
a method may state that the flow rate should be
"around 1 mL/min". This vagueness would imply that
modifications to the flow rate are acceptable, so long
as the modified method still meets system suitability
requirements. This can be a great advantage to
analysts who, for whatever reason, are unable to meet
system suitability requirements under the specified
method. For instance, closely eluting peaks which fail
system suitability resolution requirements may be
resolved through slight modifications to mobile phase
pH, or even by going to a longer column or smaller
particle size packing for a higher efficiency separation.
In addition, simple modifications such as increasing
flow rate or reducing column length can significantly
increase sample throughput over the long run.
ABOUT THIS GUIDE
However, this vagueness has also led to considerable
confusion as to exactly what is considered "modified"
versus "changed". In response to this, several articles
have been published, and the USP itself has pub-
lished a proposed list of acceptable system modifica-
tions in Pharmacopeial Forum vol. 25(2) and vol. 26(5).
This list, once approved, will be added to the System
Suitability section of the USP.
Although we cannot perform your validations for you,
we can act as a resource for columns and information
to better utilize USP methods. With this guide and our
Luna HPLC columns you will be able to comply with
USP requirements, as well as modernize and optimize
your methods for improved performance and in-
creased productivity.
Introduction
7
Chromatographic methods are routinely employed in labs
around the world for a variety of analytical and preparatory
purposes. Due to the relative ease with which most samples
can be analyzed and the robustness of many chromato-
graphic analyses, these techniques have become the
methods of choice for combinatorial screening of potential
drug products to routine QA/QC analysis of nutritional
products.
In order to ensure the reproducibility and ruggedness of
developed methods, a process known as method validation
is carried out. Validation, as defined by the USP is "the
process of providing documented evidence that the method
does what it is intended to do" and is performed on all
instruments and methods used in an analytical method.
Thus, everything from the software and hardware system to
the method itself must be validated before the analytical
method is considered "validated". However, the focus of this
guide is specifically on the validation of HPLC methods as
defined in the USP/NF.
Method validation for HPLC methods consists of a process
designed to provide documentation that the method will
perform as intended. This process of 8 steps or "Analytical
Performance Parameters" (USP {1225}) which must be
determined in order for a method to be considered "vali-
dated". The parameters to be determined are:
1. The accuracy of a method refers to "the closeness of test
results obtained by that method to the true value" (USP
XXIII). In most cases an accuracy value of 98-102%,
determined by calculating percent recovery values of a
known standard or against a second technique, is required.
In most pharmaceutical analyses, accuracy is determined
against a standard curve generated using known amounts
of target analyte.
2. Precision represents the degree of variability in your
results using the same method. This is normally expressed
as relative standard deviation (RSD%) and must be less
than 2% for most methods. There are three different levels
of precision:
a. Method precision (repeatability) is determined by
multiple analyses of the same sample over a short
period of time.
I. METHOD VALIDATION
b. Intermediate precision is the precision of the method
when run on different days by different operators using
different instruments.
c. Reproducibility is the variability when the same
method is performed by different labs.
3. Specificity is the "ability to measure accurately and
specifically the analyte in the presence of components that
may be expected to be present in the sample matrix" (USP
XXIII). In other words, the ability to separate your target
compound from interfering components. There can be no
interference from known impurities or degradation/stress
products.
4. The linearity or range of a method refers to the ability of
a method to give accurate results over a given range of
analyte concentrations. Generally, your assay must have a
correlation coefficient >0.997 for 5 points over 50-150% of
your expected target analyte concentration.
5. Limit of detection is a value given to the lowest amount
of analyte that can be detected, but not quantified, using a
given method. Often, this minimum value is specified as
three times the signal-to-noise ratio.
6. Limit of quantitation, as the name implies, represents
the lowest concentration of analyte which can be accurately
quantified using a given method. This value is usually a
minimum of 10 times the signal-to-noise ratio.
7. The ruggedness of a method is "the degree of repro-
ducibility of the test results obtained by the analysis of the
same sample under a variety of normal test conditions,
such as different laboratories, different analysts, different
instruments, different lots of reagents, different elapsed
assay times, different assay temperatures, different days,
etc." (USP XXIII). In other words, will other labs be able to
reproduce your results? Typically, a valid method must have
an RSD% of less than 2% between labs.
8. Method robustness is a measure of the ability of a
method to withstand small changes in running conditions.
You demonstrate method robustness by varying factors
such as mobile phase pH, flow rate, temperature, etc.
Introduction

Why should I make modifications to USP methods?
Although the methods written in the USP compendia have
all gone through the validation process and so should, in
the best of circumstances, represent methods which will
reliably and reproducibly produce acceptable results for the
methods, there are instances where it may be worth
investigating changing or modifying existing methods. For
instance, it could be that a particular formulation for a drug
substance gives co-elution with an excipient under the USP
conditions. A method which was validated using one
particular formulation cannot take into account all of the
possible excipients which may be present in future formula-
tions. Thus, it may be possible that a given USP method
simply will not resolve the target analyte with acceptable
specificity due to excipient compounds present in a
formulation.
Productivity issues / saving time may also be valid
considerations for USP methods. Many of these methods
were written using very old HPLC technology, and thus may
depend on the use of long columns (300 mm) with large
particle sizes (10). Given the numerous advances in
column technology, many of these older methods could be
more efficiently performed using modern HPLC columns
with smaller, more highly efficient (3) particles and shorter
column lengths. Over the long run, the time savings
resulting from using shorter columns can be substantial.
Improved results can also be an added benefit of using
more modern, state-of-the-art HPLC column technologies.
The vast advances in silica quality and bonding techniques
have resulted in columns which, for many applications, will
perform substantially better than their older predecessors.
For example, columns packed with low-purity silicas may
display extensive tailing with basic or acidic compounds,
and failure of the column to meet system suitability require-
ments for a given assay may delay production and product
release.
As stated previously, many USP HPLC methods are left
intentionally vague. This may be advantageous in that it
allows some flexibility in a method, allowing the analyst to
"fine-tune" and adjust it to certain situations. If you do make
adjustments which are within a reasonable range, you do
not have to entirely revalidate, although you must show an
improvement in chromatography using reference standards.
In addition, it may be advisable to show equivalence to an
existing, validated method. The problem arises in determin-
ing just what an "acceptable" modification to a method
consists of, and when a modification becomes a "change"
II. ADJUSTING USP METHODS
which would warrant re-validation of a method. For instance,
if a method calls for a 300 x 4.6mm column, do I have to re-
validate if I choose to use a 250 x 4.6mm? What about a
150 x 4.6mm column?
In response to these types of questions, several adjustment
limits have been proposed and reviewed in recent publica-
tions. At this point, minor modifications to USP methods are
commonly used and accepted so long as they conform to
the method in intent. The following acceptable method
"modifications" have been proposed (Pharmocopeial Forum
25(2) and 26(5)) and are as follows :
1. Mobile phase pH: 0.2 units
pH of 7.6 can be adjusted from 7.4-7.8
2. Concentration of salts in buffer: 10%
20mM Potassium phosphate can be 18-22mM, as
long as proper pH is maintained as above.
3. Ratio of components in mobile phase: 30%
of the minor component(s), or 2% absolute of that
component, whichever is greater. However a change in
any component cannot exceed 10% absolute, nor
can the final concentration be reduced to zero.
60:40 Acetonitrile/Water can be adjusted to 12%
water (=30% of 40), but this exceeds the 10%
maximum absolute change, so can range from 30%
to 50% water in this case
4. Wavelength of UV-Visible Detector: no deviations
permitted
5. Column length: 70%
150 x 4.6 mm column can be varied 105 mm in
length
6. Column inner diameter: 50%
150 x 4.6 mm column can be varied 2.3 mm
7. Particle size: can be reduced as much as 50%
10 can be switched with a 5 particle
8. Flow rate: 50%
1 mL/min can be varied from 0.5 to 1.5 mL/min
9. Injection volume: increased to as much as twice the
volume specified, provided no adverse effects
Must be within stated linearity range of method!
10. Column temperature: 20C

USP Alternative Methods
The following Alternative Methods are based
on USP methods but have been changed to
optimize runtime, peak shape and/or provide
more rugged mobile phase conditions.
Because the methods are "changed" and not
"modified" within the proposed guidelines of
Pharmacopeial Forum vol. 25(2) and vol. 26(2),
the following methods are not USP accepted
modified methods.
These methods warrant additional validation by
