Overview
The AELAB RC-8D Dissolution Tester is designed for detecting the velocity and extent of pharmic dissolution from tablets and capsules in specified media. The instrument supports routine laboratory testing and complies with applicable Chinese and industry standards for dissolution performance.
The RC series uses a clear LCD interface for real-time and preset parameter display and enables automated testing, self-diagnosis, timing control, and alarm functions. Dissolution parameters from Chinese codex 2000 are stored for efficient retrieval during repeated test workflows.
⚙️ Design & Construction
The AELAB RC-8D incorporates eight dissolution vessels with six vessels positioned at the front and two at the rear. The system includes an electric lift and a flexible head assembly that can be smoothly adjusted. Basket and paddle components are manufactured from Stainless Steel (SUS316L), ensuring chemical stability and long-term resistance to dissolution media. A magnetism-pumped circular water-bath ensures uniform heating and temperature equalization across all vessels.
🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method
The RC-8D measures dissolution by rotating paddles or baskets within controlled-temperature dissolution vessels. An MPU-based control system regulates rotational speed, bath temperature, and test timing with high precision. The platform supports automated test initiation, programmable nine-point timing, and sequential test cycling. All real-time parameters are displayed on the LCD, enabling continuous monitoring of dissolution uniformity and compliance with test methods.
💡 Key Advantages
- Eight-vessel configuration for higher throughput in pharmaceutical QC laboratories.
- Precise ±1 rpm rotational control for reproducible dissolution kinetics.
- Stable ±0.3°C thermal regulation using a uniform circulating water system.
- Automated timing with nine programmable intervals for complex release profiles.
- Stainless Steel (SUS316L) paddles and baskets for enhanced corrosion resistance.
- Automatic alarm, diagnostic, and self-test capabilities for continuous system reliability.
- Preset storage of Chinese codex dissolution parameters for standardized workflows.
🔗 Connectivity & Integration
The RC-8D supports keystroke operation with full LCD visualization of parameters. Data can be viewed in alternating modes for preset and real-time values. Integration with standard laboratory documentation workflows ensures GLP-aligned reporting and test traceability.
