for 15 minutes, followed by Visualization Technique 3; then air-dry the developed plate at room temperature for 2 hours.
Limits—
The intensity of any secondary spot obtained from the Test solution corresponds to not more than 0.5%, and the sum of the intensities of all secondary spots obtained from the Test solution corresponds to not more than 2.0%.
Assay—
Dissolve about 800 mg of Glycopyrrolate, previously dried and accurately weighed, in 50 mL of glacial acetic acid, add 10 mL of mercuric acetate TS and 1 drop of crystal violet TS, and titrate with 0.1 N perchloric acid VS. Perform a blank determination, and make any necessary correction. Each mL of 0.1 N perchloric acid is equivalent to 39.83 mg of C19H28BrNO3.
