Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To compare and analyze the uncertainty and the Z score for the determination of dissolution rate of salicylic acid tablets. METHODS To confirm the performance of dissolution tester according to the dissolution method of Ch.P 2010 Vol Ⅱ. To test the dissolution of salicylic acid tablets A and B using dissolution method 1 and 2. The factors influenced upon the measurement were inspected and the uncertainty of each factor was calculated, then the expanded uncertainty was obtained by using a coverage factor k=2(confidence of approximately 95%). Analyzed the results of 205 labs participating in this ability verification by the use of the Z score. RESULTS The dissolution of salicylin acid tablets A using dissolution method basket and paddle was 23.75, 23.65%. The dissolution of salicylin acid tablets B using dissolution method basket and paddle was 23.49%, 24.46%. The statistical results of the Z score were satisfying. CONCLUSION By comparing these two methods, more comprehensive knowledge about the dissolution can be get.
