Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometry Under JP/EP

Introduction

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry is used in various fields and is also used in the validation tests stipulated in the various pharmacopoeias in the pharmaceutical field. In validation tests, the maximum absorption wavelength and the absorbances at a minimum of two wavelengths are compared. Thus, it is necessary to measure and analyze the spectra of samples. The Spectra Evaluation Function of Shimadzu’s recently- developed LabSolutions^TM UV-Vis software enables automatic analysis and judgment after spectrometry and facilitates validation tests under various pharmacopoeias. This article introduces the Spectra Evaluation Function of LabSolutions^TM UV-Vis and its application to pharmacopoeia validation tests.
