The European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) monograph for Erythropoietin Concentrated Solution describes a capillary zone electrophoresis method for identification of recombinant human erythropoietin. However, this method has shown poor reproducibility due to inadequate capillary conditioning. We have modified the Ph. Eur. method to make it more robust and suitable for the quality control laboratory for the analysis of epoetin alfa and epoetin alfa after formulation with polysorbate 80. This study qualified the modified method by showing improved robustness and reproducibility. The study also characterized and qualified a secondary standard of epoetin alfa as a substitute for the primary standard, Ph. Eur. erythropoietin Biological Reference Preparation, which is available in limited supply. Four sets of analyses were performed to assess repeatability, intermediate precision, and the secondary standard. The results showed that the modified method is suitable for its intended purpose to test epoetin alfa and formulated epoetin alfa samples. The epoetin alfa secondary standard is a suitable substitute for the primary standard. Further, we developed a procedure for the removal of polysorbate 80 from formulated epoetin alfa, allowing the material to be analyzed by the modified Ph. Eur. method.
