| 20110048145 | DISSOLUTION TESTING APPARATUS FOR PHARMACEUTICAL PREPARATIONS - A dissolution testing apparatus comprises a vessel plate on which a plurality of test vessels are mounted. Each test vessel has a heat generation portion, which includes a transparent ring-shaped heat generating sheet member wrapped around the cylindrical portion of the vessel so that the heat generation portion is held thereon in a freely detachable manner. Additionally, the heat generating portion includes a transparent pressing sheet member. The dissolution testing apparatus has a heat control block, which includes a system control unit, a dc power supply and displays. The heat generation portion, if defective, can be easily replaced without the need to replace the main body of the vessel, thereby providing cost savings. Further, by providing an unobstructed observation window between an upper side region and a lower side region of the heat generating sheet member, progress of the dissolution of a pharmaceutical preparation inside the container main body can be observed easily from the outside. | 03-03-2011 |
