Iodine in a pharmaceutical product applying Combustion IC with Inline Matrix Elimination
contributed by Metrohm |
Introduction
Iodine content in numerous iodinated X-ray contrast media (ICM) is approx. about 50% and is best determined by Combustion IC. For complete absorption of the iodine, high amounts of H2O2 (1000 mg/L) are required. Similarly, concentration of the internal standard should be 50 mg/L. The water content in the ICM is determined via Metrohm’s Karl Fischer oven method and has to be considered in the final calculation.
