How ?
• mechanical calibration (verification of physical parameters)• chemical calibration („Apparatus Suitability Test“ – USP)
When ?
• before using new test equipment• after relocation or major maintenance• at regular intervals („every 6 months“)
![Page 29: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200729
Factors that may affect reliability of the test
Proper alignment/geometry of dissolution apparatus
– dimensions of vessels, paddles, baskets, cylinders– height, centering and wobble
Proper conditions during dissolution test
– temperature– agitation speed– degassing– sampling (sampling zone, timing, filtration, dilution) – vibration
Proper validation of analytical method
– specified in USP Chapter <1225>

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200731
Mechanical calibration - Parameters
Height – Vertical Position of the Paddle or Basket
– the vertical position of paddle or basket affects the hydrodynamics condition in the vessel
– each paddle or basket should be individually adjusted to the compendial distance
– in the pharmacopoeia, a distance of 2.5 + 0.2 cm is specified
– different kinds of height gauges can be usedto align or check* this parameter *
![Page 32: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200732
Mechanical calibration - Parameters
Rotational Speed – Stirring Rate
– input variable that affects the hydrodynamics
– changes in the rotational speed result in a changing liquid-solid interface between the solvent and the dosage form
– the rotational speed can be checked by using adigital tachometer*
– the compendia specify a rotational speed tolerance of + 4 %
*
![Page 33: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200733
Mechanical calibration - Parameters
Shaft Wobble – Eccentricity of Stirring Device
– assumed to alter the pattern of fluid movement in both paddle and basket apparatus and therefore may influence the dissolution rate
– can be measured with a micrometer*
– measured is the sum of distance between both sides (180°) of the axis of rotation
*
![Page 34: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200734
Mechanical calibration - Parameters
Centering (Vessel / Shaft)
– the axis of the rotating shaft must coincide at allpoints with the axis of the vessel to within + 1 mm
– “the shaft has to positioned so that is axis is not more than 2^mm at any point from the vertical axis of the vessel and rotates smoothly without significant wobble”
*
![Page 35: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200735
Mechanical calibration
Measurement tools
• all mechanical tools used for
calibration should be certified
to assure their reliability
• the results of mechanical
calibration have to be documented
![Page 36: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200736
Apparatus suitability test (USP)
• if all parts ( apparatus, geometry, test conditions, analytical
method) are within compliance – why perform an apparatus
suitability test?
• the apparatus suitability is to check for parameters that can not be
conveniently measured (vibration, vessel cleanliness, medium
degassing ...) and also to provide an overall check of the system
![Page 37: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200737
Apparatus suitability test (USP)
• first established in 1978
• routine test in most pharmaceutical laboratories
• calibration at regular intervals (every 6 months)
• standard calibrator substances according USP chapter <711>
• only the method(s) to be used have to be calibrated !
• if six units are tested – all have to pass

Apparatus suitability test (USP)
Controversies regarding the current test
• the variability in the intrinsic performance of the USP calibrator
tablets is so great that it exceeds the variability in intrinsic
performance of modern test dissolution assemblies
• this variability becomes obvious in both vessel-to-vessel
variability and inter-laboratory variability of results for a given lot
of calibrators
![Page 43: Design calibration en (1)](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062304/55d21d64bb61eb656e8b474a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200743
Calibrator Tablets:
• always check the incoming tablets !• right lot of calibrators ?• are the tablets broken, fused or severely chipped ?• particularly salicylic acid tablets are often subject to sublimation
( dust on the tablets and the inner surface of the container)
• use correct storage conditions !
• take the tablets out of the original
container immediately before test !
Troubleshooting

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200744
Standard / Standard solution:
• USP Standard used ?
• drying procedure conducted ?
• standard solution prepared on day of test ?
• standard solution filtered in the same manner as sample ?
• amount of alcohol used in the standard < 5% ?

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200745
Vibration
• vibration produces unwanted variation in dissolution data and
mostly results in an increased dissolution rate
• internal vibration may be caused e.g. from frayed drive belts
• external vibration may be caused by e.g. magnetic stirrers,
centrifuges, vacuum pumps, old fridges, nearby construction, ...
• inability to properly measure vibration levels at various points
within an apparatus is the main reason why calibrator tablets were
originally developed

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200747
Vibration:
• dissolution equipment placed planar ?
• drive chain or belt free of tension and/or dirt ?
• torn parts replaced ?
• correctly functioning gear plates ?
• individual spindles are not surging ?
• bench/table stable ?
• no sources of vibration nearby ?

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200748
Dissolution medium:
• correctly degassed ?
• correct amount used (900/500 ml) ?
• correct amount dosed (weight/volume) ?
• dosing procedure gentle (resaturation/spillage) ?
• buffer correct (pH + 0.05 units, buffer salts, molarity) ?
• correct temperature during test (32°C / 37°C + 0.5°C)?
• evaporation during test negligible ?
Troubleshooting

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200749
Importance of degassing:
• insufficient degassing may result in decreased dissolution rates of several drugs
• e.g. prednisone tablets but also a range of poorly soluble drugs are very sensitive to the amount of dissolved gases in the dissolution medium
• the degassing procedure should therefore be efficient and reproducible for every test
Troubleshooting

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200750
Deaeration method USP
• heat the dissolution medium to about 41°C
• vacuum filter through a 0.45-µm-porosity membrane into a flask, stirring with a magnetic stirrer
• continue to draw a vacuum and stir for an additional 5 min
• gently transfer the medium directly into the vessel
• rotating the apparatus 2 shafts to speed equilibration to 37°C is discouraged!!!
• use medium promptly after equilibration

Alternative deaeration methods
• the USP states that „other validated deaeration techniques for
removal of dissolved gases may be used“
• other techniques include:heatingsonicationvacuumhelium sparging (expensive)

Sampling
• take each sample at the correct time point
sampling time points (+ 2%)
• use a single glass syringe for each vessel
• sample from the right location within the vessel
between media surface and top of the
paddle blade
n.l.t. 10 mm from vessel wall

Dr. Sandra Klein, 06/200753
Sampling
• always use a suitable filter check filter adsorption
• check the clearity of the filtered sample
• filter the sample immediately after sampling
• for automated sampling also check the tubings

Physical conditions of the apparatus
• vessels scrupulously clean ?
• vessel surface smooth and curvature appropriate ?
Apparatus 1
• the conditions of the baskets, particularly of their clips is critical
• check all baskets for corrosion and blocked meshes before using them
• align the air holes to prevent air cushions emerging during the test

• always validate automated methods, including analytical and sampling methods
• validation should be performed using manual analysis, withdrawing samples at the same times and comparing to the automated results:
not highly variable dissolution results: two concurrent
runs
highly variable dissolution results: simultaneous
sampling
• pay attention to automated dilution and filtering processes
