Dissolution testing is crucial in the development and manufacture of many innovator and generic pharmaceuticals. Data obtained during development helps support formulation and equivalence decisions as well as monitoring product quality at release and over the shelf life. Dissolution testing is a challenge to the pharmaceutical sector in terms of method development and regulatory compliance.
This highly practical and interactive course will explain the theory, benefits, importance and role of dissolution testing in drug development today. The course covers the factors affecting solubility and dissolution rate, and how to approach dissolution method development and validation.
Working on dissolution testing apparatus, our expert team will demonstrate how to set up, conduct and troubleshoot dissolution testing so you have the knowledge to perform your own tests with confidence. All practical sessions are conducted by our partners Omicron Research Ltd.
