OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for determination of dextran70 in Compound dextran70 eye drop. METHODS: HPLC-RID was performed on the column of Phenomenex PolySep-GFC-P 4000 with the mobile phase of 0.7% Na2SO4 solution. The flow rate was 0.5 ml/min,column temperature was 35 ℃ and injection volume was 50 μl,and the inner temperature of refractive index detector was 40 ℃. RESULTS:The linear range of dextran70 was 0.1-5.0 mg/ml(r=0.999 5);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2% ;average recovery was 97.45% -101.76%(RSD=0.57% ,n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The method is simple,fast and reliable with high separation and short analysis time,and can be used for the content determination of dextran70 in Compound dextran70 eye drop.
