Usp Purified Water Conductivity

Conductivity measurements are a useful indicator of the amount of dissolved ions present in a water sample and can serve as a measure of water quality.

Usp purified water conductivity. 1927 1929 and 1231 water for pharmaceutical purposes p. Regardless of the font and letter case used in its spelling water complying with the purified water monograph is intended. Conductivity testing is more reliable and. A balancing quantity of cations such as sodium ion is.

Including total vial count and. 1752 1754 and the general chapters 643 toc 645 water conductivity p. Purified water is also referenced throughout the usp nf. The procedure described in the section bulk water is designed for measuring the conductivity of waters such as purified water water for injection water for hemodialysis and the condensate of pure steam produced in bulk.

E g as described in iso 7888 water quality determination of electrical conductivity. Yes this is correct. Purified water packaged in bulk for commercial use elsewhere meets the requirements of all of the tests under sterile purified water except labeling and sterility 71. We have established a process purified water charcoal treatment softening uv sanitization and 0 2um filtration while the water quality is better than drinking water but not good enough to fulfill usp ep water specification only conductivity higher than the criteria 2 3us cm others are all within spec.

The ph test was deleted in 1998. We can not provide photocopies of copyrighted material. For water packaged in bulk but manufactured elsewhere or for sterile purified water sterile water for injection sterile. Note there is a ph measurement not a test as a part of stage 3 test for water conductivity 645 but this is still a conductivity limit test.

The usp is also available at pharmacy colleges. Note that you cannot fail. In cases of very low conductivity 10 µs cm such as purified pharmaceutical waters two compensations need to be made. The heavy metals test on usp waters was deleted in 1996.

The tests for total organic carbon and conductivity apply to purified water produced on site for use as an ingredient of official preparations and in tests and assays. The conductivity of the ubiquitous chloride ion at the theoretical endpoint concentration of 0 47 ppm when it was a required attribute test in usp xxii and earlier revisions and the ammonium ion at the limit of 0 3 ppm represents a major portion of the allowed water impurity level. The usp purified water and the usp wfi on the other hand are components or ingredient materials as they are termed by the usp intended to be used in the production of drug products. There has never been a test for nitrates for usp waters.

One is for the intrinsic conductivity of water and the other is for the other ionic species in water. Water conductivity is used as a measure of purity for bulk usp purified water pw and water for injection wfi in the pharmaceutical industry.
