34. Post-challenge notes
• Excipient calibration curves (not used for quantitation)

mPEG-350 PEG-400
35. • All three excipients identified correctly
– PEG mixture identified correctly: 28/72 mixture reported vs. 26/74 actual
• Quantitative accuracy:
– Viscosity of solutions may have effected standard dilutions or injection
accuracy
– Quantitation largely depended on standard concentration due to non-linear
nature of calibration curve
• Detection technique is not suitable for accurate quantitation
– Exponential fit
– MRM quantitation

Post-challenge notes
36. Post-challenge notes
• Ethanol accuracy: 5.6% reported vs. 7% actual
– Calibration curve not constructed high enough (upper limit = 5%)
– Sample preparation: should have been done in triplicate to obtain %RSD
• Acetaldehyde: not mentioned in formulation
– Acetaldehyde is known Ethanol degradant
• Route: Partial oxidation CH3CH2OH → CH3CHO + H2
• Check a fresh sample preparation
• Interaction with other constituents?
• Buffer accuracy: not mentioned in formulation
– Process or excipient impurity?
– Identity only confirmed by RT (possible coelution)
• Water accuracy: not tested!
– We do not normally quantitate water in sterile DP in ADL
– It would have helped identify a quantitation error in excipients

37. Conclusions / Future Work
• Surprisingly challenging compared to previous years
• Time Spent
– Here and there for the full five weeks
– One week for one analyst for development / screen / quantitation
– One - two days each for two analysts for API identification / confirmation
• Sample Used
– Two vials left
• Lessons learned
– Check peak purity
– Test for water
– Investigate non-linear calibration
– Investigate alternative MS quantitation
