Dissolution Tools

A full range of tools is available for USP methods 1, 2 and 6. These include baskets in stainless steel, or gold plated, and paddles in stainless steel, or Telfon coated. Rotating cylinders are available, and devices for Transdermal studies of gels, suspensions and ointments.

Dissolution Baskets

Dissolution baskets are available in a range of mesh sizes to meet most requirements. Mesh sizes of 10, 40 and 100 mesh grades are available in standard form or gold plated.

Capsule Sinkers

These devices, ideal for formulations which will not sink under gravity, are made from stainless steel with snap tight closures and conform to Japanese Pharmacopoeia Specifications.

Depth Gauges

These devices allow rapid and accurate setting of the stirring tool depth, and also vessel centring with a centring option. The devices simply snap onto paddle or basket tools.

Wobble Tester

This tester, consisting of a spindle mounted dial gauge, enables any rotational wobble of the dissolution tool in its vessel to be measured and adjustments to be made to give less than ±0.2mm wobble.

Mesh Discs

For paddle over disc methods, (USP method 5), two sizes of mesh disc are available, 35 and 85mm diameter, which fit directly into standard dissolution vessels.

Dissolution Vessels

Graduated dissolution vessels, in clear glass, are available in standard or certified form. Vessels are numbered and specifications are to the USP standard. UV resistant amber glass vessels are also available.

Manual Sampling

A syringe system is available for simple and effective manual sampling from dissolution vessels and can be supplied with either a 5, or 10 micron filter.
