Stainless Steel (SS 316) Dissolution Rate Test Apparatus

The Dissolution Rate Test Apparatus is a precision-engineered pharmaceutical testing instrument designed to measure the rate at which active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) dissolve in a given medium, as per USP, IP, and BP standards. Commonly used in formulation and quality control labs, this apparatus features multiple (typically 6 to 8) stainless steel dissolution vessels with a standard volume of 1000 mL, each held in a water-jacketed heating system to maintain a constant temperature of 37 ± 0.5°C.

It includes a microprocessor-based control system with programmable parameters such as stirring speed (20–250 RPM), temperature control, and test duration, displayed on a digital or touchscreen interface. The apparatus uses either paddle (USP Apparatus 2) or basket (USP Apparatus 1) stirrers made of SS 316, ensuring chemical resistance and compliance with pharmaceutical-grade standards. Each station is synchronized for uniform agitation and temperature, supported by an automatic or manual sampling system for precise analysis.

Designed for high accuracy and repeatability, the Dissolution Rate Test Apparatus is essential for evaluating tablet or capsule performance, ensuring consistent drug release profiles and regulatory compliance in pharmaceutical development and production environments.
