DISINTEGRATION TESTER

Abstract

One way of testing methods performed in the manufacture of tablets and capsules is a way
to test the disintegration time. The disintegration time test aims to establish the suitability of
disintegration time limit specified in each monograph, unless the label states that the tablets or
capsules are used as lozenges or chewing or content designed to release the drug gradually over a
