Water in freeze-dried formulations was extracted with anhydrous methanol and then determined by Karl Fischer coulometry. The percentage of water content in the dried powder (w/w) was calculated by comparing the amount of extracted water to the weight of the lyophilized vaccine formulation. Three vials were measured for each formulation. The data were represented as the mean of the three samples ± standard deviation.
