The study was undertaken to develop a suitable design to accommodate liquefying hygroscopic samples in the Proximity Equilibrium Cell (PEC) for equilibration to desired water activity. The system suggested has overcome the limitation of the earlier reported methods using PEC and is found to be rapid compared to other gravimetric methods used for hygroscopic materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
