Summary
A recently reported chromatographic method selection strategy has been validated using fifteen drug formulations selected randomly from the Belgium Compendium, 1992. On the basis of the hydrophobic and the acidic — basic properties of the sample components, reversed-phase was recommended as the first choice mode for all formulations. For two multicomponent formulations the range of analyte polarity dictated the need for gradient elution. The commerical software DryLab G/plus® was used for selection of optimum gradient conditions. The results obtained by both isocratic and gradient chromatography are discussed, as is the usefulness of a tailing suppressor in both modes.
