Abstract

A chromatographic method newly optimized to identify and assay four antihypertensive drugs in tablet dosage forms was complemented by a robustness test. The best system suitability criteria for numerous responses were evaluated on the basis of the robustness test results. Generally speaking, it is difficult to achieve a total satisfactory solution. Situations may also become ambiguous if the system suitability limits for few responses of a robust method are violated. In this context, it becomes crucial to redefine these limits based on the robustness test results. In the present study, the extreme experimental (worst-case) conditions that offer worst result but still acceptable and likely to occur were predicted from the robustness test effects. Eventually, replicated experiments were executed in such worst conditions and the system suitability test (SST) limits were determined.
