Solubility Testing Equipment

For pharmaceutical purposes, solubility testing measures the solubility of solid drug compounds in liquid immersions. Solubility testing must be performed under strict laboratory conditions, and the method used to analyze the solubility must be reproducible and documented. Pharmaceutical solubility testing equipment streamlines popular solubility testing protocols, such as the shake flask method or semi-automated potentiometric titrations, on a larger, more reliable scale. Capable of detecting nanograms or milligrams of substance in water or simulated intestinal fluid, pharmaceutical solubility testing equipment allows for cost effective, repeated, and easy-to-record measurements of drug substance solubility. Purchasing considerations include the solubility testing method desired (e.g., solubility measurements per Bjerrum analysis), existing liquid-handling equipment, bench space, operator training, and the need to measure drug solubility in specific conditions, such as in the presence of certain excipients.
