Stability of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo- >-dioxin Towards Air Oxidation Under Simulated Conditions. Air was bubbled through two borosilicate glass gas absorption bottles equipped with fritted glass bubblers. The first bottle contained 1-octanol for presaturation of the air, and the second bottle contained 1-octanol solutions of the dioxin treated as follows (1) octanol only, (2) octanol mixed with 74-105ju, glass beads to increase the surface area, and (3) octanol mixed with magnesium oxide to simulate a basic soil. The original solution and the sample solutions were scanned with a UV spectrophotometer at various time intervals for 4 days to determine the stability of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

Quantitation is performed by the calibration technique. Construct a new calibration curve with thenylchlor standard solutions for each set of analyses. The thenylchlor peak usually appears at a retention time around 4.5 min. Plot the peak area against the injected amount of thenylchlor. The injection volume (2 pL) should be kept constant as the peak area varies with the injection volume with NPD. Before injecting the sample solutions, check the stability of sensitivity of the GC system by injecting more than one standard solution containing ca 0.05-2 ng of thenylchlor. Recommendation inject standard solutions and sample solutions alternately rather than constructing the calibration curve in advance. 

The sample solution contains a fixed concentration of supporting electrolyte E" L and a varying concentration of primary salt M X . The ionophore I is confined in the membrane. Only the primary cation can be complexed with the ionophore I (given stoichiometry 1 1 stability constant The complex MI and the anionic site are the lipophilic species that are present only in the membrane phase. In this system, the electroneutrality condition at the membrane bulk leads to... 

In order to determine whether these surfactant vesicles were of polymerized vesicle forms, a 25% V/V ethanol (standard grade) was added to the three year old sample solution. Alcohols are known (34) to destroy surfactant vesicles derived from natural phospholipids, however, synthetically prepared polymerized vesicles are stable in as much as 25% (V/V) alcohol addition. Photomicrographs shown in Figures 7c and 7d indicate that these vesicles partially retain their stability (being mesomorphic) and therefore are suspected to be polymerized surfactants. Whether surfactant molecules of these vesicles are single or multipla bonds in tail, or in head groups remains to be seen. 

Analytical procedures are classified as being compendial or non-compendial in character. Compendial methods are considered to be valid, but their suitability should be verified under actual conditions of use. To do so, one verifies several analytical performance parameters, such as the selectivity/specificity of the method, the stability of the sample solutions, and evaluations of intermediate precision. 

An additional key validation criterion for early phase methods is an evaluation of solution stability to establish that the API and related substances do not degrade in the solvent system used for sample preparation. This allows for limits to be set for solution lifetime. 

In developing a commercially viable method, the stability of samples, standards, and reagents used for the HPLC method must be considered. For the stability of standard solutions and reagents, long-term stability of up to weeks is desirable. For the stability of sample solutions, a minimum of 3 days is ideal. Generally, the reagents for standard and sample preparation should be the same or very similar to the mobile phase composition.

Phenan thro line (182) can be used instead of thiocyanate to form a complex with Fe(III) ions resulting from the oxidation of Fe(II), and the measurement is made at 500 to 510 nm. The use of 182 has the advantage of stability in the presence of air and also of allowing the use of hydrocarbon solvents for increased solubility of certain analytes. The method was applied for determination of hydroperoxides in natural rubber and synthetic elastomers, in the range of 10 to 20 ppm active oxygen. The sensitivity can be improved to less than 1 ppm, depending on the color of the sample solution. ... 

Stability of Standard and Sample Solutions. Appropriate stability of the standard and sample solutions will allow flexibility of the method to be used in a quality control laboratory. For example, 4-day stability of the standard and sample solutions will allow investigation if problems arise during a weekend HPLC run. 

Range. Ideally, linearity should be established from 50% of the ICH reporting limit to the nominal concentration of drug substance in the sample solution (for area percent method). If the linearity does not support such a wide range of concentration, determine the linearity from 50% of the ICH reporting level to 150% of the proposed shelf life specifications of the related substance (for the high-low and external standard methods) as a minimum. This will ensure a linear response for related substances at all concentration levels to be detected during stability.

The validation requirements are similar to those applied when validating a potency method. Although not listed in Table 4.1, robustness of the various method parameters should be assessed (e.g., the stability of sample solutions). Details of the principles behind these requirements are presented in Section 2.4. 

SAMPLE SOLUTION (a) The best approach when comparing the acidities of different phenols is to assess opportunities for stabilization of negative charge in their anions. Electron delocalization in the anion of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is very effective because of conjugation. 

Using the HMDE covered by calomel, Kemula and coworkers studied the oxidation of several other substances [67]. Kublik studied the oxidation of various ions at the HMDE covered by a film of HgO [68]. These electrodes may be used at even more positive potentials than platinum electrodes in the same solutions. Although the mechanism of oxidation at these electrodes is very interesting, platinum and carbon electrodes are more useful in practical work since their properties and stability are not as dependent on the nature of the sample. When using such electrodes at positive potentials, some current due to oxidation of mercury is inevitable. This limits the application of passivated mercury electrodes to rather concentrated sample solutions. 

The potassium hydroxide solution should be prepared fresh before use, because commercially available methanolic potassium hydroxide solution usually contains a stabilizer that may inhibit cholesterol oxidase. The amount of cholesterol present in the test tube should be between 8 and 160 Ag under the presented conditions to measure a sufficient difference in absorbance. The sample solution should be diluted as shown in Table D 1.3.1. 

The three-electrode system serves two important purposes. Because the reference electrode carries no current, but merely measures a potential relative to the working electrode, its stability is not unduly influenced by the electrolysis. Furthermore, because it is placed close to the working electrode die measured potential difference is more neady representative of the true potential difference between the working electrode and the sample solution. This latter is the significant quantity in electroanalysis. 

The potential profile through the membrane that is placed between the sample and the internal reference solution was shown in Fig. 6.3. The composition of the internal solution can be optimized with respect to the membrane and the sample solution. In the interest of symmetry, it is advisable to use the same solvent inside the electrode as is in the sample. This solution also contains the analyte ion in the concentration, which is usually in the middle of the dynamic range of the response of the membrane. The ohmic contact with the internal reference electrode is provided by adding a salt that contains the appropriate ion that forms a fast reversible couple with the solid conductor. In recent designs, gel-forming polymers have been added into the internal compartment. They do not significantly alter the electrochemistry, but add mechanical stability and convenience of handling.
