The invention relates to the technical field of pharmaceutical analysis, in particular to a method for detecting the content of
guanidine nitrate by
precolumn derivatization-
high performance liquid chromatography, which comprises the following steps: oscillating and uniformly mixing a
guanidine nitrate reference substance or sample and pure water at
room temperature, adding
sulfuric acid concentrated liquor in cold water bath to perform
derivatization reaction, after the reaction is finished, placing at
room temperature, and performing
column chromatography to obtain the
guanidine nitrate content. Adding liquid caustic soda for
neutralization, carrying out gradient constant volume by using a mobile phase, and filtering by using a microporous filter membrane to respectively obtain a
derivatization reference solution and a
derivatization sample solution; and respectively injecting the derivatization reference substance solution and the derivatization sample solution into HPLC, recording peak areas, and calculating the content of
guanidine nitrate in the sample by adopting an external standard method. The
guanidine nitrate sample is pretreated through the
precolumn derivatization reaction, the
guanidine nitrate derivative generated through the reaction has the advantages of being high in stability and easy to separate,
ammonium nitrate and
nitric acid impurities can be effectively prevented from interfering the detection result, the explosive
picric acid is not adopted in the detection method, and the detection method is simple, safe and easy to implement.
