Chromatography General Chapter <621> contains a list of allowed adjustments to chromatographic systems. However, the user should verify the suitability of the method under the new conditions by assessing the relevant analytical performance characteristics potentially affected by the change (see section System Suitability under Chromatography <621>).
The most updated information on the brand name of the column used to validate any chromatographic procedure in USP—NF, together with possible alternatives, where applicable are available at the following www.uspchromcolumns.com.
From <621>, the deviations of relative retention time values measured for the test substance from the values obtained for the reference compound and mixture should not exceed the reliability estimates determined statistically from replicate assays of the reference compound. Also, relative retention times may be provided in monographs for informational purposes only, to aid in peak identification. There are no acceptance criteria applied to relative retention times.
