Determination of Distillation Range of Medicine (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0156-YJL)

The boiling or distilling range of a liquid is the temperature interval,corrected for a pressure of 101.3 kPa within which the liquid,or a specified fraction of the liquid,distills under the conditions specified in the test. The lowerlimit of the range is the temperature indicated by the thermometer when the first drop of condensate leaves the tip of the condenser, and the upper limit is the temperature at which the last drop evaporates from the lowest point in the distillation flask; it may also be the temperature observed when the proportion specified in the individual monograph has been collected.
