High-performance liquid chromatographic-amperometric determination of naloxone hydrochloride injection

Naloxone hydrochloride has been measured in the injectable dosage form at 0.4 and 0.02 mg/ml using high-performance liquid chromatography with amperometric detection. This method was contrasted with an ultraviolet detection method at 229 nm and found to provide comparable recovery and linearity results. At the electrochemical detection limit of 0.1 ng injected a signal-to-noise ratio of 10.4 was found.
