Various dissolution test systems have been developed and several of them now enjoy compendial status in pharmacopeias, for example the reciprocating cylinder (United States Pharmacopeia Apparatus 3), the flow-through apparatus [European Pharmacopoeia (Pharm. Eur.) 2.9.3], or the apparatus for transdermal delivery systems, such as the paddle over disc. Hydrodynamic properties of these and other apparatus have been described only sparingly. The paucity of quantitative data related to hydrodynamics of pharmacopeial dissolution testers is lamentable, since well-controllable hydrodynamics are essential to both biopharmaceutical simulations and quality control. Here, we focus the discussion on the paddle and the basket apparatus, since these are the most important and widely used for oral solid dosage forms. A brief treatise on the hydrodynamics of the flow-through apparatus completes this section. [Pg.151]

USP Dissolution Apparatus 1 (basket) and 2 (paddle) are commonly used for immediate-release formulations. USP Apparatus 3 (reciprocating cylinders) is the system of choice for testing extended-release products or a dosage form that requires release profiling at multiple pH levels and time points. Low-dose products may require the use of flow-through analysis or other low-volume test techniques (noncompendial 100- or 200-mL dissolution vessels). Once the apparatus is selected and has been shown to be suitable during method development, no further evaluation of another apparatus is required during validation. [Pg.58]

The flow rate of the dissolution medium through the cell must be specified for each product. The USP recommends a flow rate between 4 and 16ml/min with an allowance of 5%. Manual operation and sampling for this type of test can be tedious and the system can be automated to control the pump, heat exchanger and test procedure, and deliver samples to a fraction collector. The system can be programmed to switch between different media at predetermined time points to allow pH changes during the test. [Pg.914]
