2.4.2.4. Checking the robustness of the method<br />

.<br />

Robustness study allows to define allowable variations for the parameters of the critical<br />

operators that do not affect the validity of the results provided by the method of analysis.<br />

Given the analysis conditions for the QCI-ASA product we followed the influence of:<br />

- Changes in the mobile phase flow<br />

- Changes in mobile phase pH<br />

- Changes of detection wavelength<br />

The results obtained when varying these parameters by ± 10%, are presented in Table2.24<br />

In each case the relative error is calculated for these measurements using the relation:<br />

ER(%) = (A-0,5)/0,5 · 100<br />

Errors vary between 0.6 - 4.8%. The results with the highest error are obtained when<br />

varying the mobile phase flow. If the mobile phase pH changes, relative errors of determination<br />
