Abstract

A new experimental design method named the step climbing method (SCM), as well as a new global criterion (NRC), are proposed for the selectivity optimization of thin layer chromatography. The method offers chromatographers a convenient means to decide the optimum developer composition for thin layer chromatography. The principle of the method is described, and examples of applications in pharmaceutical analysis are given to certify the feasibility of the method. Clearly, it may also be used for the selectivity optimization in high performance liquid chromatography.

Freeze-drying of cephalothin sodium: granularly agglomerated crystallization during freezing. I.

Optimal conditions for the crystallization and subsequent freeze-drying of an aqueous cephalothin sodium (CET-Na) solution of supersaturated concentrations to obtain granular crystalline CET-Na have been discussed, as have the qualities of the product thus obtained. In general, CET-Na in supersaturated aqueous solution is barely recrystallized, even when in its frozen stage. Our previous report revealed that when the solution is kept at low temperatures for a long duration, the molecules begin to change structurally to as condensed a state as that of liquid crystals, and such change facilitates a spontaneous nucleation and seed-independent crystal growth in the frozen solution. These findings prompted the authors to investigate optimal CET-Na concentrations and thermal histories during the crystallization and subsequent freeze-drying process without seeding. It has subsequently been found out that optimization of the latter conditions gives granular agglomerated crystalline CET-Na contaminated with neither the amorphous nor the quasi-crystalline form. The optimized conditions are: 25-28% CET-Na concentrations; storage before the freezing process at 0 degrees C for 2 h, and subsequent storage at 20-25 degrees C for 1 h; cooling in the freezing process at a rate not faster than 0.5 degrees C/min; warming of the solution for facilitating crystallization prior to vacuum application for drying at -4 degrees C. Under these conditions, the freeze-dried product of CET-Na in granular form has been successfully obtained in a shorter freeze-drying cycle, exhibiting a faster reconstitution time than those of CET-Na prepared according to seeded crystallization followed by a conventional freeze-drying.
