Key words:  idarubicin quantification, reverse-phase column chromatography, HPLC

A discrepancy between the official requirements (USP 23 and USP 24) for experimental conditions set for idarubicin hydrochloride certification by high-performance reverse-phase liquid chromatography and characteristics of the commercially available columns is poited out and discussed in some detail. Based on experimental findings a switch from C-1 to C-18 has been recommended for accurate and reproducible idarubicin hydrochloride determination.
