Definition

material entity that is made primarily of one kind of molecular entity, allowing for minor impurities

Explanatory Notes

A chemical substance material is a material entity whose identity is based primarily on being made of molecular entities of one chemically specified kind. The term does not require absolute purity. Minor impurities may include trace contaminants, residual water, dissolved gases, degradation products, residual process chemicals, or other low-level material present below the level at which the material is treated as a mixed material for the applicable modeling purpose. Materials whose identity depends on the joint presence of multiple compositionally relevant constituents, such as solutions, culture media, buffers, formulations, and hydrolysates, should be modeled as mixed materials.

Examples

  • a portion of water; a lot of Water for Injection; a sodium chloride raw material; a glucose powder; an L-glutamine powder; portion of CO2 gas; portion of crystalline sucrose

Counter-Examples

  • a 70 percent ethanol solution; phosphate-buffered saline; a chemically defined culture medium; a glucose powder blend containing compositionally intentional excipients; air; polymer composite
