Endpoint:
particle size distribution (granulometry)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
24 July 2013
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: No guideline followed and only 1 run was conducted. Still considered reliable as the study is performed with a commonly used apparatus and as the results are well described.
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The analysis is conducted using Laser Diffraction Particle Size Analysis.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
Laser scattering/diffraction
Type of distribution:
volumetric distribution
