H. Salomies et al., HIGH-PERFORMANCE THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHOD TO DETERMINE SORPTION OF PROPOFOL TO INFUSION CONTAINERS, Journal of chromatography, 697(1-2), 1995, pp. 597-601
A stability-indicating HPTLC method developed for the determination of
propofol was used to monitor the effect of different infusion contain
ers on the stability of propofol in 5% glucose. According to the resul
ts, the new polypropylene-lined bags and glass bottles can safely be u
sed for administration of propofol by i.v. infusion, but polyvinyl chl
oride bags are not recommended.
