Abstract

Comparison Study of conventional and Microwave assisted Force Degradation by using RP- HPLC was carried for determination of Piracetam in film coated tablets. A Grace C18 (250mm x 4.6ID, Particle size: 5 micron)RP- 18 column with a mobile phase consisting of Methanol: Water(20:80v/v) was used. Microwave assisted Force Degradation was performed acid, alkali, wet heat, oxidative and dry heat degradation study to prove that similar degradation product using microwave oven reduced time as compared to conventional. Quantitative evaluation was performed at 205 nm. The HPLC method is selective, precise and accurate and can be used for routine analysis of preparations in pharmaceutical industry quality control laboratories.

Keywords
