The limit of quantitation determines what the impurity table can honestly contain. Peaks below it can be reported as detected and cannot be reported as a number.

I have kept the units in throughout, for the obvious reason.

I read post #5 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Stability-indicating method: one that can separate a compound from its degradation products. Critical for assay methods that claim to measure actual degradation (as opposed to purity, which is orthogonal).

Everything in post #12 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.

Range and working range are different things and a certificate rarely distinguishes them. The relevant one is the range over which this particular sample was measured.

The most useful single question about a method: what would it fail to detect? Every method has an answer and few documents state it.

Correct me on the arithmetic if it is wrong; I would rather know.
