This webinar will detail the recent issues in Dissolution Testing that are getting attention, including recent initiatives at USP. The activities of the new expert committee that takes the place of the previous Biopharmaceutics committee, called Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms will be discussed. First, there are many unresolved issues with the Two Tier testing allowed in <711> where enzyme is added to media when dissolution failures are observed with capsules shell/gelatin products. The new USP General Chapter <1094> Liquid Filled Capsules will be presented. Dietary Supplements have challenging aspects when dissolution testing is applied and what is the role of the rupture test? The talk will also explain the new Performance Verification Testing (PVT) criteria used for Apparatus 1 and 2. New general chapters about performance tests for topicals, transdermals, and chewing gums will be presented as well as proposed revisions to other chapters such as USP General Chapter <1092> Dissolution Procedure: Method Development and Validation and USP General Chapter <711> Dissolution.
Attendees would include Dissolution Analysts and Managers that are involved in all aspects of dissolution testing that are concerned with USP General Chapters on Dissolution topics. Companies that test Capsule products will find the information very useful, including the lab analyst, R and D management, manufacturing, and formulators. Those interested in the performance verification of the dissolution apparatus will benefit from the discussion of the new PVT acceptance criteria. Those involved in Topical and Transdermal products will find the webinar informative.
