Dissolution Tester DT Light
Proven ERWEKA quality for simple dissolution tests with a small budget.
The ERWEKA DT Light series offers comprehensive functionality for USP methods 1, 2, 5 and 6. Configurations include 6 or 8 test stations with a fixed high‑head drive for easy access to each 1000 ml vessel. Shafts are easy to replace and a molded PET water bath features the tried‑and‑tested ERWEKA water outlet for easy cleaning. The external flow‑through heater reduces vibrations and ensures stable temperature.
All wet‑contact accessories are installed in Germany, delivering the ERWEKA “Made in Germany” quality. Together, these features make DT Light the perfect entry into dissolution testing.

Applications
Dissolution testing measures the extent and rate at which a dosage form (e.g., tablets, capsules, ointments) releases drug into solution — a key indicator for bioavailability, therapeutic effectiveness and manufacturing quality. Standardized procedures (USP General Chapter <711>) and qualified apparatus (basket, paddle, reciprocating cylinder, flow‑through cell) help ensure consistent product performance and regulatory compliance across production and R&D. DT Light provides an accessible platform for routine QC, method development and training use cases aligned with USP/EP/JP requirements.
