Phase Separation
A test applied for pharmaceutical emulsion
The rate and degree of phase separation in an
emulsion can be determined by keeping a certain
amount in a graduated cylinder and measuring the
volume of separated phase after definite time
intervals.
The phase separation may result from creaming or
coalescence of globules.
The phase separation test can be accelerated by
centrifugation at low or mild rate speeds.
