Experimental determination of the velocity distribution in USP Apparatus 1 (basket apparatus) using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)
The USP Apparatus 1 (basket apparatus) is commonly used to evaluate the dissolution ventilationstejp performance of oral solid dosage forms.The hydrodynamics generated by the basket contributes, in general, to the dissolution rate and hence the dissolution results.Here, the hydrodynamics of Apparatus 1 was quantified in a vessel filled with 900-mL
