Dissolution Testing for Bioavailability of Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drugs—a Technical Note
Journal Title: AAPS PharmSciTech - Year 2015, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Thermoforma Orbital Shaker (420-4, Waltham, MA) was used to shake sample solutions at 100 RPM and 37°C. Orion pH Meter (710-1, Pittsburgh, PA) was used to measure solution pH. Two-point calibration with pH reference solution was performed before use of the pH meter. A Distek dissolution apparatus (2100A-2, North Brunswick, NJ) was used to conduct dissolution testing. For dissolution methods that require UV-Vis as the determinative step, an Agilent UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (8453-1, Santa Clara, CA) was used. For dissolution methods that require HPLC, an Agilent 1290 HPLC system with DAD detector was used.
