Using the examination of mol. weight (MW) and mol. weight distribution (MW distribution) to replace the traditional method of viscosity.Referring to the measurement of the MW and MW distribution of polysaccharide from the appendix VH of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, this study conducts the quality standard method of MW and MW distribution to replace the viscosity method.Ten batches of mannose's statistical average mol. weight on the basis of weight distribution (MW) are between 11,289 to 12,566, the distribution width below 1.5.Using the examination of MW and MW distribution instead of viscosity is available.
