That's what I was thinking too. I mean it's only seperating
one simple liquid chemical from another. I would think there would
be many ways it could be done in a manufacturing process
and it seems unlikely krw knows what every last manufacturer
is going. Also USP is not branding, it's a set of standards
the industry sets. For a manufacturer to claim a product is
USP, it must meet those standards.
