BP have prepared the following items for consultation, and we would like your views to pass on to them.

LC-DAD

Here BP propose introducing LC/UV-DAD (Diode Array Detection), also known as photo-diode array (PDA) detection, as a routine identification test option in BP monographs.

LC-PAD

Here BP propose introducing LC-PAD (Pulsed Amperometric Detection) in related substances and assay tests where UV detection is not suitable.

Expression of related substances limits

Here BP propose to begin the process of moving to fully numerical limits in LC and GC-related substances tests in BP monographs.
