Identification of impurities: Use the chromatogram supplied with lynestrenol for peak identification CRS and the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (b) to identify the peaks due to impurities A, B and C.<\/p>\n
Relative retention: With reference to lynestrenol (retention time = about 38 min): artefact degradation peak = about 0.97; impurity A = about 0.99; impurity B = about 1.005; impurity C = about 1.01.<\/p>\n
System suitability: Reference solution (b):<\/p>\n
\u2014 peak-to-valley ratio: minimum 2.5, where Hp = height above the baseline of the peak due to impurity B and Hv = height above the baseline of the lowest point of the curve separating this peak from
\nthe peak due to lynestrenol.<\/p>\n
Limits:<\/p>\n
\u2014 impurity A: not more than 3 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (a) (0.3 per cent);<\/p>\n

\u2014 unspecified impurities: for each impurity, not more than the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (a) (0.10 per cent);<\/p>\n
\u2014 total: not more than 10 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (a) (1.0 per cent);<\/p>\n
\u2014 disregard limit: 0.5 times the area of the principal peak in the chromatogram obtained with reference solution (a) (0.05 per cent). Disregard the artefact peak, which may be generated in the injection
\nsystem.<\/p>\n
Loss on drying (2.2.32)<\/h4>\n
Maximum 0.5 per cent, determined on 0.500 g by drying in an oven at 105 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n
ASSAY<\/h2>\n

Determine the end-point potentiometrically (2.2.20), using a glass indicator electrode and as comparison electrode a silver-silver chloride double-junction electrode with a saturated solution of potassium nitrate R as junction liquid. Carry out a blank titration.
