Abstract

Mean kinetic temperature, a thermodynamically calculated average temperature that is used to determine whether or not the controlled room temperature drug storage limit has been maintained to ensure drug stability, first became official in the Ninth Supplement of the United States Pharmacopeia–National Formulary on November 15, 1993. The calculations involved may appear lengthy, and their mathematic solutions are presented in this article. Also included is a short history on the development of the Arrhenius equation, which is the basis for “mean kinetic temperature,” and the accomplishments of Dr. Svante August Arrhenius.
