[0002] Cetrorelix Acetate is a synthetic decapeptide and a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist commonly used in assisted reproductive technology. During the production process, organic solvents may be used, and residual solvents are one of the quality indicators that require strict control. 1,2-Ethanedithiol, an organosulfur compound, may be used as a solvent or reagent during synthesis or purification. Due to its potential toxicity, the residual amount must comply with relevant pharmacopoeias or regulatory requirements.

[0003] The determination of 1,2-ethanedithiol, the residual solvent in cetrorelix acetate, is usually performed based on gas chromatography (GC). During the determination process, the measurement parameters and raw materials need to be set to ensure the measurement results. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, in step 2, the chromatograph used is an Agilent DB-624 gas chromatograph.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 2, the temperature is raised to 70°C for 15 minutes, then raised to 240°C at a rate of 30°C per minute and held for 15 minutes.

[0012] Inlet temperature, 220°C; detector temperature, 250°C; injection volume, 1 μl; column flow rate, 1.8 ml / min; split ratio, 1:1; carrier gas, N2.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 2, the peak theoretical plate number of 1,2-ethanedithiol is tested, and the peak theoretical plate number of 1,2-ethanedithiol is not less than 5000.

Solution stability: The reference solution was placed at room temperature for 4 hours, and the RSD value of the 1,2-ethanedithiol peak area was 13.84%, and the RSD value of the retention time was 0.05%, which met the requirements, indicating that the reference solution had good stability after being placed at room temperature for 4 hours. The test solution was placed at room temperature for 12 hours, and no 1,2-ethanedithiol peak was detected, indicating that the test solution had good stability after being placed at room temperature for 12 hours;

[0024] 8. Durability: By making minor adjustments to different column flow rates, initial temperatures, split ratios, inlet temperatures, and chromatographic columns, the blank solvent did not interfere with the determination of the 1,2-ethanedithiol peak; the theoretical plate numbers in the spiked solution of the test sample, calculated based on the 1,2-ethanedithiol peak, were all greater than 5000. In summary, this method has good durability;
