APAP Drug Substance Analysis with HPLC

This Method has been developed for determination of Acetaminophen as a Drug Substance. The Separation was achieved on a C18 Column using Gradient Elution. The Method shown here has excellent Reproducibility of Acetaminophen for 5 consecutive Chromatograms shown had 0.03% RSD. This could be used for Quality Control of Acetaminophen.
