VISUAL METHOD 一般方法

Using identical test-tubes of colourless, transparent, neutral glass with a flat base and

an internal diameter of 15-25 mm, compare the liquid to be examined with a reference

suspension freshly prepared as described below, the depth of the layer being 40 mm.

Compare the solutions in diffused daylight 5 min after preparation of the reference

suspension, viewing vertically against a black background. The diffusion of light must

be such that reference suspension I can readily be distinguished from water R, and that

reference suspension II can readily be distinguished from reference suspension I.

Table 1.-1Turbidity standard. The formazin suspension prepared by mixing equal volumes of the

hydrazine sulfate solution and the hexamethylenetetramine solution is defined as a

4000 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units) primary reference standard. Reference

suspensions I, II, III and IV have values of 3 NTU, 6 NTU, 18 NTU and 30 NTU

respectively. Stabilised formazin suspensions that can be used to prepare stable,

diluted turbidity standards are available commercially and may be used after

comparison with the standards prepared as described.

濁度標(biāo)準(zhǔn)：乳光懸濁貯備液[硫酸肼溶液和烏洛托品（六亞甲基四胺）溶液以等量體積混合]定為

4000NTU（比濁測定法的濁度單位）儲備液對照標(biāo)準(zhǔn).濁度標(biāo)準(zhǔn)液 I, II, III 和 IV 相應(yīng)的 NTU 值

分別是 3 NTU, 6 NTU, 18 NTU 和 30 NTU。穩(wěn)定的乳光懸濁貯備液可用于稀釋制備濁度標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，

具有現(xiàn)實(shí)的商業(yè)價值，也可以與上述的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化制備進(jìn)行較。

Formazin has several desirable characteristics that make it an excellent turbidity

standard. It can be reproducibly prepared from assayed raw materials. The physical

characteristics make it a desirable light-scatter calibration standard. The formazin

polymer consists of chains of different lengths, which fold into random configurations.

This results in a wide assay of particle shapes and sizes, which analytically fits the

possibility of different particle sizes and shapes that are found in the real samples. Due

to formazin’s reproducibility, scattering characteristics and traceability, instrument

calibration algorithms and performance criteria are mostly based on this standard.

可描繪性、儀器校準(zhǔn)可算和操作標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化的特性，使其成為了濁度標(biāo)準(zhǔn)物。

instrumental methods Introduction

儀器方法簡介

The degree of opalescence may also be determined by instrumental measurement of

the light absorbed or scattered on account of submicroscopic optical density

inhomogeneities of opalescent solutions and suspensions. 2 such techniques are

nephelometry and turbidimetry. For turbidity measurement of coloured samples, ratio

turbidimetry and nephelometry with ratio selection are used.

該儀器是根據(jù)渾濁液和懸濁液亞顯微鏡光密度的不均一性來測量光的吸收或光的散射，即散射測

濁法和透射測濁法。對于有色樣品的濁度測試法，要用到比率透射比濁法和可選擇比率的散射比

濁法。

The light scattering effect of suspended particles can be measured by observation of

either the transmitted light (turbidimetry) or the scattered light (nephelometry). Ratio

turbidimetry combines the principles of both nephelometry and turbidimetry.

Turbidimetry and nephelometry are useful for the measurement of slightly opalescent

suspensions. Reference suspensions produced under well-defined conditions must be

used. For quantitative measurements, the construction of calibration curves is essential,

since the relationship between the optical properties of the suspension and the

concentration of the dispersed phase is at best semi-empirical.

通過投射光（投射比濁法）或散射光（散射比濁法）來測量混懸粒子的光散射效能。濁度比率結(jié)

合了透射比濁法和散射比濁法二者的原理。透射比濁法和散射比濁法用于測量具有輕微乳光的混懸液。必須使用在的條件下制得的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)混懸液。因為混懸液的光學(xué)性質(zhì)與分散相的濃度之間的關(guān)

系多是一個半經(jīng)驗值，所以定量測定主要使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)曲線法。

The determination of opalescence of colored liquids is done with ratio turbidimeters or

nephelometers with ratio selection, since color provides a negative interference,

attenuating both incident and scattered light and lowering the turbidity value. The

effect is so great for even moderately colored samples that conventional

nephelometers cannot be used.

因為溶液顏色會產(chǎn)生負(fù)干擾，衰減入射光和散射光并降低濁度值，用比率透射濁度法和可選擇比

率的散射濁度法測定有色溶液的乳光。對于正好適度的有色樣品，效果非常好，以至于常規(guī)的濁

度儀不再使用。

The instrumental assessment of clarity and opalescence provides a more discriminatory

test that does not depend on the visual acuity of the analyst. Numerical results are

more useful for quality monitoring and process control, especially in stability studies.

For example, previous numerical data on stability can be projected to determine

whether a given batch of dosage formulation or active pharmaceutical ingredient will

exceed shelf-life limits prior to the expiry date.

用儀器來判斷澄清度和乳光，試驗所提供的分辨能力更強(qiáng)，不再依靠分析者的視覺敏銳性來判斷。

對于定性監(jiān)控和過程控制，特別是穩(wěn)定性研究，數(shù)字化結(jié)果更有用。例如，之前所得的關(guān)于穩(wěn)定

性的數(shù)字化資料用于判斷一個給定批號的劑量成分或活性藥物組分是否超過了貯存期限或者沒

過有效期。

NephelometryWhen a suspension is viewed at right angles to the direction of the incident light, the

system appears opalescent due to the reflection of light from the particles of the

suspension (Tyndall effect). A certain portion of the light beam entering a turbid liquid

is transmitted, another portion is absorbed and the remaining portion is scattered by

the suspended particles. If measurement is made at 90° to the light beam, the light

scattered by the suspended particles can be used for the determination of their

concentration, provided the number and size of particles influencing the scattering

remain constant. The reference suspension must maintain a constant degree of

turbidity and the sample and reference suspensions must be prepared under identical

conditions. The Tyndall effect depends upon both the number of particles and their size.

Nephelometric measurements are more reliable in low turbidity ranges, where there is a

linear relationship between

nephelometric turbidity unit (NTU) values and relative detector signals. As the degree

of turbidity increases, not all the particles are exposed to the incident light and the

scattered radiation of other particles is hindered on its way to the detector. The

maximum nephelometric values at which reliable measurements can be made lie in the

range of 1750-2000 NTU. Linearity must be demonstrated by constructing a calibration

curve using at least 4 concentrations.

散射比濁法當(dāng)混懸液在垂直于入射光的方向觀察，因混懸液粒子產(chǎn)生的反射，系統(tǒng)出現(xiàn)乳光 (丁

達(dá)爾效應(yīng)).。進(jìn)入一個渾濁液的光束，一部分被透過，一部分被吸收，剩余部分被懸濁粒子散射。

如果在與光束 90°的方向檢測，假如粒子數(shù)量和大小對散射的影響維持常數(shù)，可以用懸濁粒子的

光散射來測定他們的濃度。照溶液的濁度必須保持不變，并且樣品和對照混懸液在一樣的條件下制備。丁達(dá)爾效應(yīng))依賴于粒子的大小和數(shù)量。在低濁度范圍，光散射濁度法更可靠，散射法濁

度單位值和有關(guān)檢測器信號成線性。隨濁濁度的增加，不是所有的粒子都能暴露在入射光下的，

并且在到達(dá)檢測器的途徑中，其他粒子的散射光被阻礙。一個可靠的測量所能測量的大散射濁度

值是 1750-2000 NTU。必須用至少 4 個濃度構(gòu)建標(biāo)準(zhǔn)曲線來證明線性。

Turbidimetry

The optical property expressed as turbidity is the interaction between light and

suspended particles in liquid. This is an expression of the optical property that causes

light to be scattered and absorbed rather than transmitted in a straight line through the

sample. The quantity of solid material in suspension can be determined by the

measurement of the transmitted light. A linear relationship between turbidity and

concentration is obtained when the particle sizes are uniform and homogeneous in the

suspension. This is true only in very dilute suspensions containing small particles.

Linearity between turbidity and concentration must be established by constructing a

calibration curve using at least 4 concentrations.

透射濁度法在液體中懸濁粒子和光之間存在相關(guān)性，這一光學(xué)特性表示為濁度。表示的是光在直

線方向上發(fā)生的散射和吸收，而不是光直線通過樣品的透射光學(xué)特性，通過測量透射光來測定混

懸液中固體物質(zhì)的量。當(dāng)混懸液中粒子的大小均一且性質(zhì)相同，可獲得濁度和濃度之間的線性關(guān)

系。僅僅在很稀的含有少量粒子的混懸液中，才可實(shí)現(xiàn)線性。必須使用至少 4 個濃度構(gòu)建標(biāo)準(zhǔn)

曲線來證明濁度和濃度間呈線性。

Ratio Turbidimetry

In ratio turbidimetry the relationship of the transmission measurement to the 90°

scattered light measurement is determined. This procedure compensates for the lightthat is diminished by the colour of the sample. The influence of the colour of the

sample may also be eliminated by using an infrared light-emitting diode (IR LED) at 860

nm as the light source of the instrument. The instrument’s photodiode detectors receive

and measure scattered light at a 90° angle from the sample as well as measuring the

forward scatter (light reflected) in front of the sample along with the measurement of

light transmitted directly through the sample. The measuring results are given in

NTU(ratio) and are obtained by calculating the ratio of the 90° angle scattered light

measured to the sum of the components of forward scattered and transmitted light

values. In ratio turbidimetry the influence of stray light becomes negligible.

INSTRUMENTAL DETERMINATION OF OPALESCENCE

乳光的儀器測定

Requirements in monographs are expressed in terms of the visual examination method

with the defined reference suspensions. Instrumental methods may also be used for

determining compliance with monograph requirements once the suitability of the

instrument as described below has been established and calibration with reference

suspensions I-IV and with water R or the solvent used has been performed.

as light source a tungsten lamp with spectral sensitivity at about 550 nm operating at a

filament colour temperature of 2700 K, or IR LED having an emission maximum at 860

nm with a 60 nm spectral bandwidth. Other suitable light sources may also be used.

Silicon photodiodes and photomultipliers are commonly used as detectors and record

changes in light scattered or transmitted by the sample. The light scattered at 90 ±

2.5° is detected by

the primary detector. Other detectors are those to detect back and forward scatter as

well as transmitted light. The instruments used are calibrated against standards of

known turbidity and are capable of automatic determination of turbidity. The test

results expressed in NTU units are obtained directly from the instrument and compared

to the specifications in the individual monographs.
