What is the importance of sulphated ash test?

Answer Posted / s.kumar

According to WHO,USP and ICH guidelines,inorganic metals present in the drugs should not be more than 10ppm.this inorganic metals are very dangerous to health.during ash test inorganic metals are converted to metal sulphates and are very stable at 600 degree celcious.below 600 degree celcious all the organic impurities will get evaporated.
Thanks,

I have compare C2H2-air and C2H2-N2O flame AAS on determination calcium. Both use same range of std to plot calibration curve. (2-6ppm) When i measure the sample with phosphate, KCl and LaCl, C2H2-N2O flame give false positive result, around 0.5ppm. When i measure the sample with phosphste, KCl and EDTA. C2H2-N2O flame also give 0.5ppm false positive. But both above mentioned sample would not give false positive when measured by C2H2-air flame. What is the reason?
