[0083] A STD represents the peak area of each specific solvent in the standard solution (the average peak area of the first 6 injections using STD-1 solution);
[0084] W STD Represents the weight of each specified solvent in the standard solution (mg);
[0085] V STD Represents the diluted volume of the standard solution (mL).
[0086] The amount of each specific residual solvent observed in the chromatogram was calculated according to one of the following two formulas:

[0095] For each specific solvent not below LOQ: the average result should be reported as the final result. However, if one test result is below LOQ, the maximum result should be reported as the final result.
[0096] For each specific solvent below LOQ, report the result as “ <LOQ”。
[0097] If a result is outside the specification limit, an OOS investigation is conducted.
[0098] The LOQ of each specific solvent in the sample is shown in Table 10 below:
