SUAREZ PEREZ, Yania  and  HIDALGO CABRER, Claudia. Analytical evaluation of chitin pessaries. Rev Cubana Farm [online]. 2008, vol.42, n.3. ISSN 0034-7515.

Chitin pessaries are new products under research. For their analytical evaluation, a direct gravimetric method for vaginal suppositories of various dosing was designed. This technique was based on separation of chitin from the rest of the formulation components according to their solubility characteristics, by using vacuum filtering. The method was validated for quality control and the results were satisfactory in terms of the evaluated parameters such as linearity, precision, accuracy and selectivity.

Keywords : Chitin pessaries; gravimetry; validation.
