When testing the repeatability of Asahipak ODP-50 4E, a polymer-based column for reversed phase chromatography, under alkaline condition, azithromycin was injected repeatedly according toUSP 39 method. When theoretical plate number for azithromycin and resolution of azithromycin/azaerythromycin A regarding number of injections were measured, theoretical plate number and resolution were not changed after 3,000 injections. It was confirmed that ODP-50 4E is very alkaline-resistant.
