On 25 October 2024, the USP published a General Chapter Prospectus for a new USP General Chapter <318> on NMR Spectroscopy Monomer Ratio Determination for Lactide-Glycolide Polymers.

- Solutions preparation (including standard and sample solutions)
- Instrumental system
- System suitability requirements
- Analysis
The USP is requesting early input from stakeholders on this proposal, with an input deadline of 24 November 2024. The text is planned to be published for comments in Pharmacopeial Forum 51(5) in September 2025.
