Dissolution Rate Test Equipment
Specifications of Dissolution Rate Test Equipment
The apparatus consists of 4 parts. A water bath with 500 watt heater covered 1000ml. Vessel made from Borosil Glass and digital temperature control. Variable speed motor, with 30 cms longs stainless steel shaft. A cylindrical stainless steel basket and a membrane fixing attachment, water bath is made of imported thick acrylic sheet with transparent cover at top. Temperature of the bath is maintained at 37°C with an accuracy of ±1°C. A cylindrical glass vessel of 1000ml capacity with slightly concave bottom has a flenged edge at the top to accept a fitted cover having four holes. One hole placed in the centre. The shaft of the motor is fitted on an up right and has an electronic speed regulating device that allows the speed to be varied from 25 to 250 RPM. The shaft is 6mm dia 30cms on with basket fitted at end rotates smoothly and without any significant wobble. The basket consists of two parts one of which is attached to the shaft. It is of solid metal except for 2mm vent and is screwed on the main shaft. Lower part of the basket is held with this part by means of threading and this allows proper removal of lower part for introduction of the test samples. The detachable part of the basket is fabricated of stainless steel mesh formed into cylinder of size 36mm x 25mm dia. The equipment is workable on 220 volts 50 C/s A.C.

FAQs of Dissolution Rate Test Equipment:
Q: How does the microprocessor controller enhance the dissolution testing process?
A: The microprocessor controller enables precise, programmable control of key test parameters, such as basket/paddle speed, duration, and temperature. This ensures consistency between tests, improves usability, and minimizes operator-related variability.
Q: What types of pharmaceuticals can be tested with this equipment?
A: This dissolution rate tester is suitable for measuring the dissolution rate of a wide range of solid oral dosage forms, specifically tablets and capsules, making it ideal for routine quality control and research applications in pharmaceutical laboratories.
Q: When should I use the manual or automatic testing modes?
A: Manual mode is best suited for custom or exploratory tests that may require real-time adjustments, while the programmable automatic mode is ideal for routine, standardized procedures where automation increases throughput and reliability.
Q: Where can this equipment be installed, and is on-site support available?
A: It is designed for installation in pharmaceutical laboratories operating under standard conditions (ambient temperature 15C 35C, non-condensing humidity). On-site installation and user training are available to ensure proper setup and efficient use.
Q: What is the process for sampling during a dissolution test?
A: Sampling can be performed manually using included sampling tubes, flask covers, and accessories. An optional automatic sampler is available for unattended, precise sampling at pre-set time points, streamlining the workflow and increasing accuracy.
Q: What are the main benefits of the built-in audio-visual alarm system?
A: The audio-visual alarm alerts users upon test completion or if parameters deviate from set values, reducing oversight risks and enhancing workflow efficiency, particularly in multi-tasking environments.
Q: How does bath temperature uniformity impact dissolution test results?
A: Bath temperature uniformity of 0.2C ensures all vessels maintain consistent test conditions, which is vital for regulatory compliance and comparability of results across batches.
