Analysis Note

Assay (H₂O): 0.970 - 1.030 mg/g

Application

It is used as a certified reference material (CRM) to verify the accuracy of coulometric Karl Fischer titrators according to ISO 9001 chapter 7.1.5 “Monitoring and measuring resources”. It can also be used to check the accuracy of measured results according to European Pharmacopeia (Ph.Eur.) chapter 2.5.32 “Water Micro Determination.” Although preferable for use in coulometric method, it can be used to verify the low water content by volumetric method.

Features and Benefits
