Dissolution Testing and Drug Release Profiling for Pharmaceuticals

Dissolution testing shows how a drug product releases its active ingredient and is central to product quality. Apparatus setup, media preparation and profile comparison all affect the result. This programme builds practical competence in dissolution testing and its interpretation.

What you will be able to do

  • Select the correct dissolution apparatus and conditions
  • Prepare media and control temperature and agitation
  • Run dissolution profiles and sample at set intervals
  • Compare profiles using similarity measures
  • Investigate atypical dissolution results
