Used Dissolution Systems for Sale

Used Dissolution Systems for Sale

Dissolution systems are specialized laboratory tools used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry to simulate a drug's dissolution rate in the human body. Common applications include quality control, research and development, and regulatory compliance.

At New Life Scientific, we buy and sell high-quality used dissolution systems to laboratories and researchers across various industries and backgrounds.

Choosing the Right Dissolution System

Identifying the specific unit that works best for your application depends on several factors.

Apparatus Type

Baskets (USP Dissolution Apparatus 1) are best suited to capsules and floating tablet forms because they confine the dosage form in a fixed position, which prevents test invalidation. This capability also prevents particles from the dosage form from sticking to the walls of the vessel or accumulating beneath the center of the paddle.

Paddles (USP Dissolution Apparatus 2) are the default apparatus for most immediate-release tablets because they stir the dissolution medium in a way that mimics the natural mixing of gastrointestinal fluid. This method provides excellent batch-to-batch consistency due to flow uniformity.

Vessel Count

Vessel count is the total number of physical glass containers, or vessels, in a dissolution testing system. This factor directly impacts how many individual samples you can process in one test run, so it's a key consideration for discovering your best fit.

Bathless vs. Bath Design

While bath systems use a heated water bath to mimic human body heat, bathless systems use direct heating elements for faster testing. Bath systems typically require more maintenance due to the risk of algae growth, though bathless systems are generally low-maintenance.

Automation and Sampling

Systems with automated sampling capabilities or autosampler compatibility support repeatable, hands-off results. For example, the Varian VK8000 Dissolution Sampling Station is a dedicated automated sampling system that integrates seamlessly with the Varian VK810 Peristaltic Pump for efficient, hands-off sampling.
