  • Patent number: 6271038
    Abstract: The invention provides apparatus and methods for formulation mixing and measurement to produce rank orders of solubility of chemicals in a variety of formulations. One such method includes mixing a volume of a stock solution having a known concentration of a chemical with a volume of a base liquid to form a control sample. Another volume of the stock solution is mixed with a volume of a formulation to form a test sample. The control sample is passed through a capillary electrochromatography (CEC) tube to separate the chemical from the base liquid, and the test sample is passed through a CEC tube to separate the chemical from the formulation. The method includes measuring the amount of chemical passing through the CEC tubes for both the control sample and the test sample, and comparing the measured amount of chemical from the control sample with the measured amount of chemical from the test sample to determine the solubility of the chemical in the formulation relative to the base liquid.
