Abstract
A method and apparatus that enables a user to sort data from one or more sample lots, which may be obtained via a network, such as the Internet, into a composite parameter structure. The composite parameter structure is a function of one or more parameters corresponding to one or more characteristics associated with one or more sample lots. The composite parameter structure representation may be printed, stored, or transmitted to another location. A server device that is coupled and working in conjunction with a client device may implement the present invention.
Claims15
A method for sorting chromatographic data comprising:
- (a) providing chromatographic data related to a first sample lot and chromatographic data related to a second sample lot to a processor;
- (b) using the processor to identify one or more chromatographic peaks associated with the first sample lot;
- (c) using the processor to identify parameters corresponding to each of the one or more chromatographic peaks of the first sample lot;
- (d) using the processor to identify one or more chromatographic peaks associated with the second sample lot;
- (e) using the processor to determine whether the one or more chromatographic peaks associated with the second sample lot correspond to one or more of the parameters corresponding to the chromatographic peaks of the first sample lot;
- (f) using the processor to establish one or more additional parameters corresponding to each chromatographic peak of the second sample lot that does not correspond to the parameters corresponding to the chromatographic peaks of the first sample lot;
- (g) using the processor to provide the additional parameters to an output device;
- and
- (h) using the processor to establish a composite parameter structure as a function of the parameters corresponding to the chromatographic peaks of the first sample lot and only one chromatographic peak corresponding to each of the additional parameters.

A method for determining whether the chemical composition of a generic formulation of pregnant mare's urine corresponds to that of a reference listed drug comprising conjugated estrogens, the method comprising:
- (a) creating a composite parameter structure corresponding to the reference listed drug by:
- (i) providing data related to a first sample lot of the reference listed drug and data related to a second sample lot of the reference listed drug to a processor;
- (ii) using the processor to identify one or more characteristics associated with the first sample lot;
- (iii) using the processor to identify parameters corresponding to each of the one or more characteristics of the first sample lot;
- (iv) using the processor to identify one or more characteristics associated with the second sample lot;
- (v) using the processor to determine whether the one or more characteristics associated with the second sample lot correspond to one or more of the parameters corresponding to the characteristic of the first sample lot;
- (vi) using the processor to establish one or more additional parameters corresponding to each characteristic of the second sample lot that does not correspond to the parameters corresponding to the characteristic of the first sample lot;
- (vii) using the processor to provide the additional parameters to an output device;
- and
- (viii) using the processor to establish the composite parameter structure as a function of the parameters corresponding to characteristics of the first sample lot and only one chromatographic peak corresponding to each of the additional parameters;
- (b) comparing data related to at least one sample lot of the generic formulation to the composite parameter structure;
- and
- (c) determining whether the chemical composition of the generic formulation corresponds to that of the reference listed drug based on the comparison in step (b).
