A dissolution test is a means of identifying and proving the availability of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in their delivered form. A dissolution test reflects the availability of active substance and allows the prediction of the time for complete release of the material from the dosage form. This test plays an important role in product development, equivalence studies and for product compliance and release decisions. It is vital that the dissolution system provides accurate and reproducible results. All Pharma Test tablet dissolution testing instruments are fully USP and EP compliant. They use our Pharmatest MonoShaft™ tool system and include a full set of vessel and USP Apparatus 2 paddles. A full range of dissolution accessories is also available.
Validation documents are always supplied for free with instruments of Pharmatest.
