Abstract:
The stability of 20mg/mL lidocaine hydrochloride injection in 12-mL polypropylene syringes stored at ambient temperature and at 4 deg C for up to 90 days was investigated. A high-performance liquid-chromatographic stability-indicating assay was used to determine the concentration level of lidocaine hydrochloride injection at 0, 1, 4, 7, 15, 30, 45, 60, and 90 days after preparation of the syringes. Methylparaben, which was added as a preservative, did not interfere with the assay. The injections in plastic syringes were stable for up to 90 days at both ambient temperature and at 4 deg C. The pH of lidocaine hydrochloride injection did not change appreciable during the 90-day study period. These data indicate the stability of lidocaine hydrochloride under the storage conditions investigated in this study.

Sample Handling
Samples should be transported carefully from collection points to the laboratory. They should be properly sealed and clearly labeled to prevent cross-contamination. To preserve the sample integrity, optimal temperature conditions during transport are essential. This could involve using...
