To determine content of residual organic solvents of ethanol, dichloromethane, chloroform, tetra-hydrofuran, N,N-dimethylformamide in mirtazapine, the capillary gas chromatog. method was established.HP-1 capillary column (30 m×0.53 mm, 3 μm) was selected, the solvent was DMSO, the carrier gas was nitrogen, and FID detector was used.The five kinds of organic solvents had good linear relationship at ranges of 100.008-1 000.080 μg·mL-1, 12.124-121.244 μg·mL-1, 1.202-12.016 μg·mL-1, 14.433-144.328 μg·mL-1, 17.659-176.592 μg·mL-1resp.The min. detectable quantity were 1.03 μg·mL-1, 0.83 μg·mL-1, 0.47 μg·mL-1, 0.32 μg·mL-1, 1.04 μg·mL-1, resp.The average recoveries were 99.21%, 98.72%, 99.38%, 99.03%, 99.29% resp.The precision RSD was all less than 1%.This method is sensitive and accurate, which can be used to determine the residual organic solvents in mirtazapine.
