Tablet Dissolution Tester

The dissolution tester is an essential quality control instrument in the Monash Malaysia pharmaceutics laboratories. This automated system determines the dissolution rate of tablets and capsules under test conditions mimicking gastrointestinal tract pH and agitation levels. Temperature, rotational paddle speed and sampling intervals are precisely controlled to generate dissolution profiles. In-line UV analysis provides quantification of drug release over time. Fundamental experiments, such as immediate and extended-release profiling and bioequivalence testing, establish in vitro/in vivo correlations and guide formulation development. With international regulatory compliance specifications and optional accessories for small volumes and additional sampling, this integrated dissolution and analysis platform enables students to perform cutting-edge translational research critical to launching safe, productive, and quality drug products into the market.
