In this work, a batch solution of caffeine in water reference material of 1000 mg/kg has been gravimetrically prepared using a calibrated analytical balance. A sample of this solution was diluted to 25 mg/kg for measurement by HPLC-UV in the range 10 - 50 mg/kg. The chromatographic separation was carried out by C-18 column and a mobile phase assembled of 75% water and 25% methanol (v:v). The detection was made by the UV detector at 275 nm. The validation of this analytical method was carried out in accordance with requirements of the EURACHEM and ICH guidelines. The selectivity, linearity, accuracy, precision and trueness (recovery and bias) of the method were studied. The validation results proved that the method is fit-for-purpose of measuring the caffeine concentration in water in the range 10 - 50 mg/kg using HPLC-UV.展开更多
