Chloroxylenol USP Testing
SGS Polymer Solutions (SGS PSI) provides testing of chloroxylenol per the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) monograph.
About Chloroxylenol
Chloroxylenol, para-chloro-meta-xylenol (PCMX), is a disinfectant and antiseptic for use in disinfecting surgical instruments and on the skin. It can be found in antibacterial soaps and wound-cleansing agents. It is included on the World Health Organization’s (WHO) list of essential medicines. SGS PSI can test for identification, assay, impurities, and water determination.

Approaches
Identification will be determined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) per the applicable USP monograph.
The purity of chloroxylenol will be determined by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID).
Impurities will be identified by a combination of wet chemistry methods and chromatography. Residue on Ignition, iron content, limit of tetrachloroethylene, and organic impurities will be determined per the designated USP methods.
Water determination by Karl Fischer titration is also indicated in the chloroxylenol USP monograph.
