Definition
solution saturation state in which the dissolved solute concentration stays above the solute’s equilibrium saturation concentration in that solution under prevailing conditions
Examples
- a poorly soluble drug substance remaining dissolved above its equilibrium saturation concentration after solvent shift into an aqueous formulation vehicle; a formulation component remaining dissolved temporarily after cooling from room temperature to refrigerated storage; a concentrated buffer component remaining dissolved above its equilibrium solubility before precipitation begins;

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
