Pharma Solutions, a worldwide leading provider of advanced technologies
for pharmaceutical, biotechnology and consumer health companies, will

stability testing. It also reviews the ultimate role of dissolution testing where
the end results correlate to in vivo results. Other topics that are covered in the
article include the mechanical calibration versus performance testing, variability
and hydrodynamics of USP Apparatus 1 and 2 and new initiatives in the industry such
as quality by design, process analytical technology and design of experiment.
