Weigh accurately 12 tablets and determine the average weight of one Transfer it into a 100 ml volumetric flask. Add 12 ml water and disintegrate tablets by sonications. Add mobile phase to make up volume to 100 ml. Stir this solution with magnetic stirrer for 5 minutes. Allow to stand for 10 minutes. Filter a portion through 0.45 syringe filter and then inject into the SYSTEM SUITABILITY: I. Inject five replicate injections of the standard solution and calculate the percent RSD (NMT 2%). II. Or Set the operating condition and purge the mobile phase until a steady base line is obtained. III. Inject working standard solution of Mecobalamin onto the column and obtain the chromatogram. IV. From Chromatogram, calculate the tailing factor/or resolution factor if required (Tailing factor: NMT 2 & NLT 1 is recommended) HPLC PROCEDURE: i. ii. Flush the column with water at a flow rate of 1.0 ml for at least 30 minutes. Set the conditions outlined under parameters.
