An Assay Method for Etodolac Tablets

The USP Assay Method for  Etodolac tablets uses a Phosphoric Acid based Mobile Phase which is not LCMS compatible. The Method in this Application Note is more versatile since it can be used for HPLC or LCMS. The Gradient can be adjusted if lower Retention is required.

Data from two Column lots is shown to illustrate Method Robustness and Consistency.
