Tablet Dissolution

Tablet dissolution is a critical step in sample preparation, especially in pharmaceutical analysis. It involves dissolving a tablet in a suitable solvent to study the release rate and bioavailability of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The process is typically carried out using specialized dissolution testers under controlled conditions such as temperature, pH, and agitation speed. Dissolution testing ensures consistency between tablet batches and verifies that the drug meets quality standards. The resulting solution is then analyzed, often by HPLC or UV spectroscopy.
