2022 Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate Testing for Pharmaceutical Packaging

The United States Pharmacopeia’s Packaging and Distribution Expert Committee recently revised General Chapter <671> Containers-Performance Testing (Ref 1) to add an alternate method for the determination of moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of single-unit and unit-dose container closure systems, such as blisters. This alternate method — using water instead of desiccant — was vetted by a leading packaging development laboratory through a rigorous comparison to the unchallenged desiccant method, the standard since the 1970s.

Packaging Digest would like to gauge your interest in this new method.
