    Technical Details & Test Data

    Assay Procedure

    ASSAY 

    • PROCEDURE

    Sample: 150 mg of Glycine
    Blank: 100 mL of glacial acetic acid

    • Titrimetric system
    • Mode: Direct titration
    • Titrant: 0.1 N perchloric acid VS
    • Endpoint detection: Visual
    • Analysis: Dissolve the Sample in 100 mL of glacial acetic acid, and add 1 drop of crystal violet TS. Titrate with the Titrant to a green endpoint. Perform the Blank determination. 
    • Calculate the percentage of glycine (C2H5NO2) in the Sample taken:

    Result = {[(Vs-VB) × N ×F]/W} ×100
    Vs= Titrant volume consumed by the Sample (mL)
    VB= Titrant volume consumed by the Blank (mL)
    N= actual normality of the Titrant (mEq/mL)
    F= equivalency factor, 75.07 mg/mEq
    W= Sample weight (mg)

    • Acceptance criteria: 98.5%-101.5% on the dried basis
