Separation of API from Acid Degradation Products

This Method illustrates the capabilities to separate several Glipizide Degradants that are formed under acidic conditions. Good separation is obtained as well as Sharp, Symmetric Peak shapes for each compound.

The Retention times show good repeatability as well, as demonstrated in the Figure overlays. Also, the Mobile Phase Solvents are LCMS compatible, which expands the potential applications of the Method. Finally, Gradient Equilibration is fast and requires only 1 Column volume.
