Dissolution test apparatus
First Claim
1. A dissolution test apparatus comprising:
- (a) a frame assembly for supporting a test vessel and including a front section and a rear section;
(b) a transport assembly including first and second lateral support members, each of the first and second lateral support members including an upper section and a lower section, wherein each of the first and second lateral support members is movably mounted to the frame assembly and movable along a first axis to and from the front and rear sections of the frame assembly; and
(c) a spindle head assembly comprising an operative component for interaction with the test vessel, the spindle head assembly movably connected to each of the first and second lateral support members, wherein the spindle head assembly is movable along a second axis to and from the upper and lower sections of the first and second lateral support members.

Abstract
A dissolution test apparatus comprises a spindle head assembly interconnected between first and second lateral support members. The lateral support members are translatable along a first axis, and the spindle head assembly is translatable along a second axis, such that the spindle head assembly is movable from a front, operative position at which test procedures are effected, to a rear position at which access to the dissolution test apparatus is enhanced. The spindle head assembly includes a dosage delivery mechanism including an actuatable dosage unit-retaining member. A front portion of the dissolution test apparatus has a tapered width to accommodate a triangular or trapezoidal array of test vessels, resulting in high visibility of the vessels.
