Dissolution Tester
The Vision G2 Elite 8 dissolution tester is a high-performance, versatile system built with high-quality components and robust engineering. Its ergonomic design and reliable operation make it suitable for both automated workflows and extended applications, as well as standard 8-sample manual testing.
The system meets and exceeds major international standards, including USP, US FDA, ASTM, EP, JP, CE, CSA, RoHS, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance.
What makes the Vision G2 Elite 8 flexible?
The platform is designed for scalability and adaptability across a wide range of dissolution testing requirements. It can be configured for automated, hands-free sampling or used in manual setups, depending on laboratory needs.
Key design elements include:
- 8-position Easi-Lock™ vessel plate for accurate and repeatable vessel centering
- Superior coating on the vessel plate to prevent corrosion
- Easi-Lift™ drive head with multi-lock positions for fast and repeatable adjustments
- Tool-free switching between USP Apparatus 1, 2, 5, 6, and small volume configurations (150 mL and 250 mL)
- Optional automated dosage introduction based on temperature or time conditions
- “Quick Test” function for immediate test start with a single button
Optional Auto-Probes are available to reduce hydrodynamic interference by automatically leaving the vessel after sampling, unlike fixed probes that remain immersed during the entire test.
Vision G2 platform and control
Vision G2 dissolution testers are developed with more than 60 years of dissolution expertise and feature a modular, plug-and-play design. This allows systems to be upgraded or automated without requiring separate firmware.
The system includes a full-color touchscreen with intuitive menu navigation, providing precise control over:
- Speed range: 25 to 250 rpm
- Temperature range: 25 to 55 °C
The software supports up to 50 users and allows creation of up to 100 unique protocols. These methods can be transferred between instruments via flash drive, supporting consistent workflows and higher throughput.
Features
The Vision G2 platform combines usability with precise performance:
- Customizable reporting options
- Hand-held digital temperature probe for vessels and water bath
- Quick access to internal components without tools for efficient maintenance
- Low spindle speed variation (maximum 0.6 rpm typical)
- Independent Vision® heater circulator with low vibration and compact placement
- Molded water bath with fast heat-up and low-level drain
- Durable, chip-resistant vessels
- Free technical support for the lifetime of the instrument
- User-defined configurations for speed and temperature tolerances, alarms, and system parameters
System integration and application flexibility
Vision dissolution test instruments are designed for seamless integration into laboratory workflows, supporting both simple and complex testing setups. Laboratories can configure systems ranging from single-bath routines to multi-bath testing environments.
The system supports:
- Sample collection for off-line analysis using UV-Vis, HPLC, or UPLC
- Connection to spectrophotometers for on-line UV analysis via multi-cell transport
A wide range of accessories and configurations is available, including:
- Easi-Lock™ USP 1 L precision vessels
- Detachable USP paddles and baskets with spinshafts
- ASTM Certificate of Conformity for USP accessories
- Easi-Lock™ vessel covers and ADD™ (Auto-Dosage Delivery) covers
- Fixed vessel-mounted sample probes with cartridge filter options
- Multiple filter options (tip, cartridge, and in-line)
- In-line filter block kits for manual and automated sampling
- Printing to serial and network (PostScript) printers
Additional configurations include:
- USP Apparatus 5 (paddle over disk)
- USP Apparatus 6 (rotating cylinder)
- Small volume vessels with mini paddle or mini basket
- Immersion cell for semisolids
- Precision calibration tools
- Hanson Q-Pak™ functional validation guideline (USP & ASTM)
- HRCare™ IQ / OQ / PQ validation and support program
- Media preparation and deaeration using Hanson Media-Mate Plus
- 2 L “high stand” for large volume testing
Automation and sampling options include:
- AutoMag™ system for 1 L and 2 L autosampling
- SuperMag™ system for both 1 L and small volume autosampling
- Inert, easy-change sample probes for AutoMag™ and SuperMag™
- Digital Temperature Probes (DTPs) for each vessel (included with AutoMag™ and SuperMag™)
