Abstract

Mathematical relationships are developed for a general system in which the concentrate chamber and diluent vessel contain the active material to be evaluated. The use of the system for increasing the effective half-dosage distance is illustrated. A technique is described for decreasing the half-dosage distance with a conventional system.
