an important quality control parameter because it can affect
their long-term stability and ultimate effectiveness as well
as short-term processability. Techniques such as Karl
Fischer titration, moisture evolution analysis (1,2), and
thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) have been used for
determining pharmaceutical moisture levels. However,
these techniques often have trouble differentiating
between “free” surface water (the source of problems) and
bound water present in the chemical formulation.详细>
