Manual
When dissolution is performed manually, every process step before, during, and after the test is executed manually by the user. This is the most technician-dependent way of testing.

Semi-automated systems ensure that all sequential steps during the dissolution run are reproducibly executed without requiring user interaction until the post-run activity. A semi-automated single dissolution system will give the user the throughput of one dissolution bath, i.e. test 6 samples.

With a semi-automated double system all sequential steps during the dissolution run are reproducibly executed without requiring user interaction until the post-run activity. Compared to a single system, a double dissolution system will give the user the possibility to increase his throughput by using two dissolution baths, i.e. test 12 samples.

Fully automated systems automate the complete dissolution process – from preparation to cleaning. Several tests of the same or different products can be executed directly after each other – without requiring any user action. With the AT MD, the complete workflow is automated, allowing the batching of up to 8 unattended dissolution tests.

As with the AT MD, the AT 70smart fully automated dissolution system also automates the complete dissolution process – from preparation to cleaning. Several tests of the same or different products can be executed directly after each other – without requiring any user action. Compared to the AT MD, the AT 70smart provides higher throughput, allowing the batching of up to 15 unattended dissolution tests.
