Conclusions: The NIR method gave predicted values comparable to the reference method with • Replicate readings required. • Solvents can expire or run out.

A common method for the determination of water content is the Karl Fischer titration method. the reference method and model R1 were from the same population. ANOVA for all four data sets
Developed in 1935 from earlier work by R. W. Bunsen 1, Karl Fischer established a direct demonstrates that they are all from the same population. Model R1 demonstrated a residual

• No reagents, therefore no waste. • No sample preparation.

more regulated pharmaceutical industry and guidance on the validation requirements are still
vague.
