Abstract:This study describes a method for the determination of phosphorus in lyophilized Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccines by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The concentration of polysaccharide is directly related to the concentration of phosphorus as measured in the laboratory. Phosphorus is present in the polyribosyl-ribitol phosphate (PRP) group of the Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine. The repeating unit of PRP is 3-B-D ribose1-1]ribitol-5-phosphate. Phosphorus in the final container is measured in microg per dose. The amount of PRP is calculated from this and reported in microg per dose. The Haemophilus influenzae type b conjugate vaccine was analyzed for phosphorus content within the range of 1.34 to 2.02 microg phosphorus per ml. The relative difference of phosphorus concentrations determined by the ICP-AES method from the phosphorus concentrations determined by the traditional colorimetric molybdate method ranged from 2.2 to 10.6%. Phosphorus spike recovery for the vaccine ranged from 93 to 99% (1.93+/-0.13 microg P/ml). The phosphorus determination of NIST SRM 3139 phosphorus spectrometric solution differed by 3.0% from the certified phosphorus value (10.00 mg P/ml).
