Life Science Newswire The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) will release the new method USP 922 in May 2021, which will outline recommendations for the determination of water activity. It includes a brief theoretical background explanation, the best practices for water activity measurement and an overview of potential applications for water activity in pharmaceutical products.
USP 1112 , the first informational chapter on water activity published by USP back in 2006, did not provide guidance or instructions on best practices for water activity measurement. The new method USP 922 now addresses these limitations and highlights the potential of water activity measurement in the pharmaceutical industry.
