Choosing EaseAlign 100 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel: Dimensions, Materials and Use Context

Who This Guide Is For

Laboratories, pharmaceutical QC teams, and procurement professionals sourcing dissolution vessels for routine or research-scale testing often face a straightforward but consequential choice: selecting a vessel that is dimensionally, chemically, and mechanically compatible with their existing dissolution apparatus. This guide addresses that decision for the EaseAlign 100 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel, drawing on confirmed product specifications from HEBEI DINGSHUO GLASSWARE CO.,LTD.

What the EaseAlign 100 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel Is

The EaseAlign 100 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel is a standard-form dissolution vessel belonging to the EaseAlign series. It is manufactured from high-quality transparent glass, offering clear visibility of the dissolution process throughout testing. Its part number is 12-5040 and its UNSPSC Code is 41121804.

Selection Criteria

1. Volume Requirement: 100 mL Scale Testing

The most immediate selection criterion is whether your dissolution method calls for a 100 mL vessel. This vessel is designed for controlled, reproducible test conditions at the 100 mL scale. It is well-suited to micro-scale or small-sample dissolution studies where full 500 mL or 1000 mL vessels would introduce excessive dilution or impractical sink conditions.

If your method requires a larger volume — for example, a standard USP 1000 mL vessel — this product is not the appropriate match. HEBEI DINGSHUO GLASSWARE CO.,LTD also offers the EaseAlign 1000 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel with Glass Flange (Part No. 12-5000) for those applications.

2. Instrument Compatibility: 705-DS, VK7000, and VK7010

The vessel is confirmed compatible with the following dissolution testers:

• 705-DS dissolution tester
• VK7000 dissolution tester
• VK7010 dissolution tester

Buyers should verify that their in-house dissolution apparatus is one of these models before ordering.

3. Dissolution Apparatus Type: Type 1 and Type 2

The EaseAlign 100 mL vessel supports both:

• Type 1 — Basket Apparatus: The vessel accommodates the basket shaft assembly for rotating basket dissolution testing.
• Type 2 — Paddle Apparatus: The vessel is equally suited for paddle-based dissolution testing.

This dual-apparatus compatibility makes the vessel versatile across common compendial methods that use either basket or paddle configurations.

4. Shaft Compatibility: Micro-Paddle and Micro-Basket

The vessel is compatible with micro-paddle and micro-basket shafts. This is particularly relevant for laboratories running miniaturized dissolution methods, where smaller shaft assemblies are used in conjunction with reduced-volume vessels.

5. Material and Visibility: Transparent Glass Construction

The vessel is constructed from transparent glass, which provides clear visibility of the dissolution medium throughout the test. This allows analysts to visually monitor the dissolution process without removing samples or interrupting the run.

The robust glass construction is noted to provide chemical resistance and durability, supporting routine laboratory use with common dissolution media. Buyers working with highly aggressive solvents or unusual pH extremes should independently verify material suitability for their specific media.

6. EaseAlign Series Design: Alignment and Stability

As part of the EaseAlign series, the vessel is engineered for precise alignment and stability within the dissolution tester. Proper vessel alignment is essential in paddle and basket apparatus testing to minimize variability between vessels in a multi-station run.

When This Vessel Applies — and When It Does Not

Applicable when:

• Your dissolution method specifies a 100 mL vessel volume.
• Your dissolution tester is a 705-DS, VK7000, or VK7010.
• Your method uses Type 1 (basket) or Type 2 (paddle) apparatus.
• Your method uses micro-paddle or micro-basket shafts on the compatible instruments.
• Transparent glass is acceptable for your media and visibility requirements.

Not applicable when:

• Your method requires a different vessel volume (e.g., 500 mL or 1000 mL).
• Your procurement process requires a vessel with documented certificate availability — the confirmed record lists certificate availability as "No."
• Your method requires USP pharmacopoeia-compliant documentation on the vessel itself; the 1000 mL EaseAlign variant with glass flange carries a stated USP compliance note, while this 100 mL vessel does not.

Comparison Context: 100 mL vs. 1000 mL EaseAlign Vessels

For buyers evaluating vessel size within the EaseAlign range, the table below summarizes the key differences between the two confirmed EaseAlign products:

The 100 mL vessel is the targeted choice for small-volume dissolution methods. The 1000 mL vessel, with its glass flange and USP compliance note, serves standard large-volume pharmaceutical dissolution studies.

Summary: Key Purchase Decision Points

Before ordering the EaseAlign 100 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel, confirm the following with your laboratory or procurement requirements:

1. Volume match: Does your dissolution method specify 100 mL?
2. Instrument match: Is your tester a 705-DS, VK7000, or VK7010?
3. Apparatus type: Does your method use Type 1 (basket) or Type 2 (paddle)?
4. Shaft type: Are micro-paddle or micro-basket shafts used on the compatible instruments?
5. Certification needs: Is certificate availability required? The confirmed record states "No."
6. Media compatibility: Is transparent glass suitable for your dissolution media chemistry?

When all six points align with your laboratory's requirements, the EaseAlign 100 mL Transparent Glass Dissolution Vessel is a well-specified, versatile choice for routine and research-scale dissolution testing. For sourcing inquiries, contact HEBEI DINGSHUO GLASSWARE CO.,LTD directly.
