what is difference between assay&purity&potency?

Answer Posted / bhargav

Purity:

It is calculated by area normalisation method, it can be
directly find out by chromatograms obtained from HPLC.

% Purity = (Area of desired peak / Sum of area of all
peaks) x 100

Assay:

It is calculated against standard. It may be of following
types:

1) On as is basis = (Area of sample / Area of standard) x
(conc. of standard / conc. of sample) x potency or assay of
standard
2) On anhydrous basis = (Assay on as is basis / 100 –
moisture) x 100
3) On dried basis = (Assay on as is basis / 100 – LOD) x 100

Potency:

100 – (moisture or LOD + residual solvents + heavy metals
+ sulphated ash + impurities)
