| Abstract: | Accurate quantitation of the four lipid components in a vesicle formulation has been accomplished by selectively changing the high-performance liquid chromatographic mobile phase composition to arrive at an optimal separation requiring less than 10 min. A systematic approach to selection of the mobile phase conditions has minimized the number of experiments required to achieve the necessary separation. Relative standard deviations between one and four percent are obtained for the four lipid components. Accuracy, as measured by recovery experiments for spiked vesicle formulations, varies between one and two percent of target levels at the nominal lipid concentrations investigated. |
