Surface Area of Magnesium Stearate Using the Volumetric Method

Magnesium stearate, a waxy, lamellar (platy) solid, is a widely used excipient in pharmaceutical technology. Primarily, magnesium stearate is added to a formulation in order to modify compaction behavior and reduce ejection forces from tablet dies and is available in a range of grades having similar or different surface area. The NOVAtouch is ideal for specific surface area measurements according to USP <846> Method II (volumetric method) and the well-known BET calculation described therein.

Relevant for: Dietary supplements, pharmaceutical researchers and manufactures, excipients, formulation tablets and capsules.
