Automatic dissolution testing for sustained release dosage forms
Effortlessly simulate pH changes for accurate dissolution testing of extended and sustained release dosage forms, ensuring precise in vivo conditions for reliable drug release profiling.

Simulates Gastrointestinal pH Conditions for Tablet Dissolution
The BioDis RRT 10 from ERWEKA is a precision dissolution tester designed for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, specializing in the analysis of extended and sustained release dosage forms. This equipment is distinguished by its capability to precisely simulate the varying pH conditions of the human gastrointestinal tract, facilitating accurate testing and profiling of tablets, coated tablets, and nutraceuticals. Featuring an external flow-through heater, it ensures minimal vibration and a constant temperature, enhancing test consistency. The modular system operates with adjustable speeds and includes an automated sample transport mechanism for seamless testing across various media pH zones. Its compliance with USP, EP, and JP standards makes it ideal for R&D and quality control environments focused on meeting strict regulatory requirements. With the option for configurations involving USP methods 3 and 7, and customizable vessel sizes ranging from 50 ml to 1000 ml, the BioDis RRT 10 offers the flexibility to meet diverse testing needs. A user-friendly touch display and automated vessel cover system reduce media evaporation and simplify operation and maintenance, making it a versatile solution for modern laboratories.
