Describes the cylindrical, rigid, elastic empty pharmaceutical capsule, consisting of a retractable cap and body. The surface of the capsule should be clean, smooth, uniform in color, odorless, trimmed neatly, and not deformed when formed. It can be clear (both without sunscreen), translucent (both with sunscreen), or opaque (both with sunscreen).
Identification (1) Dissolve 0.25 g in 50 ml of water, heat, cool, and shake well. Add a few drops of a mixture of potassium dichromate TS and dilute hydrochloric acid (4:1) to 5 ml of the solution to form a flocculent precipitate.
(2) Take 1 ml of the identification solution obtained in test (1), add 50 ml of water, and add a few drops of tannic acid TS after mixing. produces opalescence.
(3) Take 0.3g into a test tube, add an appropriate amount of soda lime, and heat. The resulting gas turns the moist red light blue.
Dense Take 10 capsules, gently press the cap and the end of the bottle with your thumb and forefinger and twist to open without sticking, deformation or breakage. Fill the bottle with talc, engage and lock the capsules, and drop each filled capsule from a height of 1 meter to a 2 cm thick wooden board. No powder leakage or slight leakage of no more than 1 capsule. If more than 1 capsule fails, the test is repeated and another 10 meet the requirements.
Friability Place 50 capsules in a petri dish in a desiccator with saturated magnesium nitrate solution and let stand at 25°C ± 1°C for 24 hours. Remove and immediately place individual capsules in glass tubes (24 mm inner diameter and 200 mm long) vertically on a wooden board (20 mm thick). Freely drop a cylindrical counterweight (made of Teflon, 22 mm in diameter, weighing 20 ± 1 g) onto the capsule from the top of the glass tube. No more than 5 capsules are broken.
Disintegration 6 capsules filled with talc and tested for disintegration
(Appendix XA). All 6 capsules should disintegrate within 10 minutes. If 1 capsule fails, repeat the test with another 6 capsules. All capsules should meet the test.

The detection wavelength is 254 nm, and the theoretical plate number should not be less than 1600 calculated from the peak of ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate. Accurately inject 10 μl of the test solution and the reference solution into the column respectively, and record the chromatogram. The content of methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, and butyl p-hydroxybenzoate relative to the peak area was calculated by the external standard method. 05%。 The total amount of methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben does not exceed 0.05%. (These project tests products with added paraben antibacterial agents).
Vinyl chloride (this product is sterilized by the oxetane method). Cut the capsules into pieces, accurately weigh 2.5 grams, put them in a stoppered conical flask, add 25 ml of n-hexane, and soak them overnight. Transfer to a separator, add exactly 2 ml of water, shake and allow to separate. Take the water layer as the test solution. Accurately weigh a certain amount of vinyl chloride, dissolve it in n-hexane and dilute it with n-hexane to make a solution containing 22 micrograms per milliliter, and accurately transfer 2 ml of vinyl chloride solution to a separator containing 24 ml of n-hexane. -Hexane, accurately add 2ml of water for extraction and take the water layer as the reference solution. Perform gas chromatography (Appendix VE) using a capillary column packed with 10% polyethylene glycol maintained at 110°C. Any peak area caused by vinyl chloride in the chromatogram obtained with the test solution is not greater than the main peak (0.0002%) obtained with the reference solution.
Oxane (this item is a test for sterilized products by the oxane method). Weigh 2.0g capsules and place them in a 20ml headspace bottle, add 10ml of 60°C water accurately, and seal and shake well to dissolve as a test solution. Place approximately 60 ml of water in a 100 ml volumetric flask, dry and stopper, and weigh accurately. Inject 0.3 ml of oxane, shake without a stopper, stopper and weigh accurately. The difference in weight is the weight of oxane in the solution. Take an appropriate amount of the solution and dilute it with water to make a solution containing 2 μg per milliliter as a reference solution. Transfer exactly 1 ml of the reference solution to a 20 ml headspace vial and add exactly 9 ml of water. Carry out a residual solvent test (Appendix VIIP Method 2). Use a column packed with 5% methylpolysiloxane or polyethylene glycol (or a stationary phase of similar polarity).
