Dissolution Training
1 Day
This training course provides a comprehensive overview of the entire dissolution testing process.
We cover all the basic theory behind dissolution, look at the use of type 1 and type 2 apparatus, including calibration, calculation and evaluation of results and method development considerations.
This not only provides a good introduction to those new to dissolution but also provides substantial information to labs looking to develop their own methods or improve existing practice—an invaluable insight into dissolution testing.
