According to the Japanese Pharmacopeia (JP; 17th edition*), the United States Pharmacopeia and the National Formulary (USP43-NF38*), and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP 10.4*), analysis of formic acid in povidone should be carried out with a method that meets following requirements. The RSpak KC-811 confirmed the requirements were met. Using the same condition, we analyzed povidone K-30. The elution of formic acid was observed by comparing the elution position of the formic acid standard.

Theoretical plate number: ≥ 1,000
