Karl Fischer Moisture Analysis

Karl Fischer Moisture Analysis

Precision Water Content Determination for Quality and Stability

At NJ Labs, we use Karl Fischer (KF) Titration—the gold standard for moisture analysis—to accurately determine the water content in raw materials, excipients, and finished products. This technique is essential in regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and chemicals, where moisture levels can directly impact stability, potency, shelf-life, and compliance.

Karl Fischer Moisture Analysis

Our Karl Fischer Instrumentation

We operate with a state-of-the-art Karl Fischer Moisture Analyzer, capable of doing direct titration (Method Ia) and Gravimetric (Method III) depending on the sample type and moisture range.

  • High sensitivity for low moisture detection (as low as ppm levels)
  • Wide applicability for solids, liquids, and semi-solids
  • Fast, accurate, and reproducible measurements

Key Applications of KF at NJ Labs

  • Water content analysis in active ingredients and excipients
  • Moisture testing in hydroscopic compounds and powders
  • Stability and degradation assessments
  • Shelf-life and packaging compatibility studies
  • Compliance with USP General Chapter <921>, Water Determination and other compendial methods

Why Use Karl Fischer at NJ Labs?

  • Unmatched accuracy in water content testing
  • Non-destructive and highly specific to water
  • Full integration with CGMP and quality assurance systems
  • Validated methods and detailed documentation
  • Rapid turnaround times for R&D and batch release needs

Moisture matters. Whether you’re ensuring formulation consistency or protecting against degradation, NJ Labs’ Karl Fischer capabilities provide the precision you need to stay compliant and competitive.
