Description

Analysis Note

An efficient reverse phase HPLC method for the HPLC analysis of of Paclitaxel (Taxol) and related compounds is developed using the Ascentis^® Express F5 5μm Fused Core HPLC column. Paclitaxel is a natural product with antitumor activity. TAXOL (paclitaxel) is obtained via a semi-synthetic process from Taxus baccata.
The developed method can be easily used for the routine quality control of bulk and Parenterals dosage form of Paclitaxel within a short analysis time. This method offers the advantages of higher efficies, reduced backpressure and shorter run times over a traditionally run methods over 5 μm totally porous particle columns.
