What does dissolution mean?

I think it would make the article clearer if "dissolution" was explained. CBHA (talk) 03:22, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

@CBHA: A good suggestion but I disagree. Dissolution testing is a common name used in the Pharma industry, it should be pretty self-evident to most readers what dissolution means even if your not sure or don't work in that field ( a simple Google search can rectify any doubts). For those who didn't know dissolution means essentially breaking down a tablet or solid dosage by placing it in dissolution medium (which can range from degassed or sonicated deionized water to some chemically prepared solution), heating that dissolution medium up and having a paddle or basket rotate the dissolution medium for a predetermined amount of time (the amount of time depends on the protocol for that drug) in order to collect a sample. --Have a great day :) , Sanjev Rajaram (talk) 22:32, 11 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merger and expand Proposal

I propose that USP Dissolution Apparatus 2 be merged into Dissolution testing. I think that the content in the article can easily be explained in the context of Dissolution testing, and the article is of a reasonable size that the merging of will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. Also I think we should expand to include the specifics of the other dissolution appratuses Have a great day :) , Sanjev Rajaram (talk) 01:37, 12 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
