USP grade meets the purity levels set by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). USP grade is equivalent to the ACS grade for many drugs. NF grade is a purity grade set by the National Formulary (NF). NF grade is equivalent to the ACS grade for many drugs. British Pharmacopoeia: Meets or exceeds requirements set by the British Pharmacopoeia (BP ...
In the pharmaceutical industry, drug dissolution testing is routinely used to provide critical in vitro drug release information for both quality control purposes, i.e., to assess batch-to-batch consistency of solid oral dosage forms such as tablets, and drug development, i.e., to predict in vivo drug release profiles.
