11.2 PHYSICAL ANALYSIS USP/BP/BP/Inhouse
11.2.1 Test of Physical Form:
Check the sample and confirm its physical form; it should be crystalline powder.
11.2.2 Test of Colour:
Confirm the colour of the material by comparing with standard from colour chart; it should be white.
11.2.3 Test of Odour
Check the odour of the sample; it should be odourless to almost odourless.
11.2.4 Test of Solubility
- Check the solubility of the sample in water and chloroform.
- It should be freely soluble in water and chloroform.
11.2.5 Test of Melting point:
Take the powdered sample in the capillary tube meant for the purpose, put it in the Melting Point Apparatus. Check the temperature at which the powdered sample melts; melting point should be between 130-135°C.
11.2.6 Test of Loss on Drying:
Weigh accurately 10 g of sample on moisture balance. Adjust the temperature at 105°C, start drying the sample. At the end balance show percentage loss of moisture; moisture contents should not be more than 0.5%.
11.2.7 Test of Clarity & Colour:
Dissolve 10 g of the sample in 100 ml of distilled water; the solution should be clear and colourless.
11.2.8 Bulk Density:
Take sample in the measuring cylinder, the surface level of the sample in the cylinder should be even, note the volume without tapping, it should be between 0.500 – 0.550 g/ml.
11.2.9 Tapped Density:
Take sample in the measuring cylinder, the surface level of the sample in the cylinder should be even, note the volume with tapping, it should be between 0.650 – 0.750 gm/ml.
