- Abstract
The mandatory strategy of using internal standard in HPLC is still controversial. Despite that the introduction of internal standard methodology in the early stage of development of HPLC technology was used to improve method accuracy and precision, there are still practical situations in which a simple external standard quantification is adequate. The aim of the study is to compare the determination of meloxicam (MXC) in human plasma by HPLC with or without using an internal standard according to some key points related to the reason of introducing the internal standardization such as the reducing of sample preparation errors or variability for low injection volumes. The HPLC analysis was performed on reversed phase with UV detection after protein precipitation. Piroxicam (PXC) was used as an internal standard. The two methods are compared in terms of accuracy and precision over the same concentration range. The stability of the analyte has been proved. According to the results, the quantitative determination of MXC in human plasma after simple protein precipitation by using PXC as an internal standard does not bring any significant improvement of accuracy and precision of the experimental measurements.
