Buccal Dissolution Testing

Dow's Buccal Dissolution testing technology is a patented in vitro method designed to evaluate the amount of drug that is released in the mouth from a dosage unit. The technique is typically used for evaluating the taste of suspensions and orally dissolving tablets. It is not used to study buccal absorption of drugs.

The technique uses a stirred flow-thru cell with a very short residence time. It is shown schematically below.

The Buccal Dissolution testing technology is available from The Dow Chemical Company either as a service, or for use under license.
