The 270-mesh sinker basket with cover is designed for precise and reliable dissolution testing in pharmaceutical laboratories. Featuring a fine 53 micrometer mesh and a 15 millimeter diameter, this robust accessory effectively retains small or low-density dosage forms, ensuring accurate simulation of sink conditions and preventing flotation or loss of samples during agitation. The included cover provides additional containment, making it suitable for testing effervescent, buoyant, or friable dosage forms.

Engineered for compatibility with standard dissolution systems, the sinker basket integrates seamlessly with Agilent and comparable dissolution testers. Its high-quality stainless steel construction ensures chemical resistance and durability, supporting repeated use in rigorous quality control or research and development environments.

The fine mesh enables thorough fluid exchange while securely enclosing the sample, meeting regulatory testing requirements for a wide range of pharmaceutical formulations, including tablets, capsules, pellets, and multiparticulate systems. This accessory is especially valuable for dissolution profiles of products prone to floating or disintegration. It is commonly used in method development, routine quality assurance, and stability studies.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to pair this sinker basket with other dissolution accessories, such as vessel covers and paddles, also available from Agilent’s dissolution product line.
