45For a research peptide vial nominally containing 5–10 mg of solid, only the coulometric variant is realistic: the total water present may be as little as 300 µg, which is below the practical resolution of a volumetric titration on that sample mass. Certificates reporting water content on 10 mg vials by volumetric titration should be read with that in mind.{{r|scholz1984}}45For a research peptide vial nominally containing 5–10 mg of solid, only the coulometric variant is realistic: the total water present may be as little as 300 µg, which is below the practical resolution of a volumetric titration on that sample mass.

+47{{note|Sample handling dominates the error budget. Lyophilised peptide is hygroscopic; a sample weighed in ambient laboratory air for two minutes can gain enough water to shift the result by a percentage point. Compendial procedure requires transfer under dry conditions, and reported values are only as good as that transfer.}}
