Appendix C – Evaporation Loss
Procedure for the Determination of Evaporation Loss
Use the same distilled water, weighing vessel, and balance as you will be using for the
gravimetric check.
Half fill the weighing vessel with distilled water.
1.
Cover the weighing vessel with its lid and place it on the balance using a pair of
tweezers.
2. Aspirate a sample.
3. Tare the balance and take the weighing vessel out of the balance.
4. Take off the lid with tweezers.
5. Dispense the sample into a dummy vessel.
6. Replace the lid on the weighing vessel and, using tweezers, replace the vessel on
the balance.
7. Read the negative result e
1
(record the absolute value).
8. Repeat steps 3 to 8, three times to obtain
e
2
,
e
3
, and
e
4
.
9. Calculate the evaporation loss e using the formula:
NOTE
In normal conditions, this value is usually between 0.01 mg and 0.03 mg.
e = (e
1
+ e
2
+ e

+ e
