Carry out the method for thin-layer chromatography, Appendix III A, using a silica gel F<sub>254<\/sub> precoated plate (Merck silica gel 60 F<sub>254<\/sub> plates are suitable) and a mixture of 60 volumes of methanol and 40 volumes of a solution containing 0.14% w\/v of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate and 0.5% w\/v of disodium edetate as the mobile phase. Apply separately to the plate 2 \u03bcL of each of the following solutions in water. For solution (1) use a volume of the contents of ampoule (1) diluted, if necessary, with water to contain 0.2% w\/v of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride. For solution (2) use a volume of the injection in ampoule (2) diluted, if necessary, with water to contain 2% w\/v of Ascorbic Acid. Solutions (3) and (4) contain 1% w\/v and 0.4% w\/v respectively of thiamine mononitrate BPCRS. Solution (5) contains 0.2% w\/v of pyridoxine hydrochloride BPCRS. Solution (6) contains 0.022% w\/v of riboflavin sodium phosphate BPCRS. Solution (7) contains 0.64% w\/v of nicotinamide BPCRS. Solution (8) contains 2% w\/v of ascorbic acid BPCRS. After removal of the plate, allow it to dry in air and examine under ultraviolet light (254 nm and 365 nm). The principal spots in the chromatogram obtained with solution (1) correspond to those in the chromatograms obtained with either solutions (3), (5) and (6) or solutions (4), (5) and (6). The principal spots in the chromatogram obtained with solution (2) correspond to those in the chromatograms obtained with solutions (7) and (8).<\/p>\n<p>B. For injections containing Glucose, heat 1 mL of the contents of ampoule (2) with cupri-tartaric solution R1. A copious precipitate of copper(I) oxide is produced.<\/p>\n<h2>ASSAY<\/h2>\n<h3>For thiamine hydrochloride, pyridoxine hydrochloride and nicotinamide<\/h3>\n<p>Carry out the method for liquid chromatography, Appendix III D, using the following solutions in water. Solution (1) contains 0.01% w\/v of thiamine mononitrate BPCRS and 0.002% w\/v of pyridoxine hydrochloride BPCRS. Solution (2) contains 0.01% w\/v of thiamine mononitrate BPCRS and 0.005% w\/v of pyridoxine hydrochloride BPCRS. Solution (3) contains 0.016% w\/v of nicotinamide BPCRS.
