Modernisation of the spectroscopic General Chapters in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP)

摘要

As part of the USP-NF modernisation process, the General Chapters (Chemical Analysis) Expert Committee has and continues to review collections of chapters in a holistic approach in order to align concepts and content to ensure consistency. These revisions are intended to ensure that the scientific expectations defined in the chapters are aligned with current best practices to ensure suitability for use when the appropriate measurements are executed. To these ends, general chapters currently are grouped into two parts:<1000 chapters (i.e., those numbered below 1000), where the focus, as stated in the General Notices, is on content that may be required if called for in a monograph, and >1000 chapters (i.e., those numbered 1000-1999), where these chapters give information, definition or description.
