requirements
The VK 7000 and VK 7010 models are designedwith automation and flexibility in mind. Thesemicroprocessor-controlled instruments allow for easymanual sampling and are designed to interfacedirectly with the VK 8000 Autosampling Station. TheEaseAlign system for centering vessels allows theuse of a variety of vessel sizes (with options of100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL, 1L (standard), 2L and 4Lvessels with Benchsaver models). These units arepreconfigured so they can accept accessoryupgrades. VK 7000 series units can be fitted withAutoTemp and Dosage Delivery capabilities shouldyour testing needs change. As testing volumes grow,you can modify your equipment; these models areeasily adapted to interface directly to a variety of UVor LC systems or can be retrofitted into a ZymarkMultiDose system.
EaseAlign Centering RingsEliminate the need for tedious, time-consumingvessel centering after each run. EaseAlign centeringrings allow the vessel to simply slide into place.Once in place, your vessels do not float—even whileempty.
The EaseAlign rings center and align from the insideof each vessel. This provides a simple, accuratevessel-alignment process.
Display InformationThe 4-line, 40-character LCD operational monitorallows for a simple, easy-to-read display. Duringoperation the display includes time, date, elapsedtime, start time, set and actual RPM, set and actualbath temperature, and printer status.
Built-in AlarmsBoth the VK 7000 and the VK 7010 have a variety ofbuilt-in alarm features. You are warned of anytemperature deviations from the set parameters,power outages, as well as the upcoming calibrationdate.
VK 7000 AND VK 7010 KEY FEATURES
Parameter ProgrammingA simple menu allows you to easily program yourparameters including:• delayed start • RPM (8 - 250 RPM)• length of test• temperature• infinity spin
Timed Wake-upThis unique feature automatically turns on the testerand circulator at a predetermined time. This ensuresyour bath is at the proper temperature withoutoperating the circulator continuously.
Elapsed Time IndicatorThese testers offer an on-screen elapsed timeindicator. This indicator can be easily read fromacross the room.

Spindle Motor MonitorThese testers report the number of spindle motorhours that the instrument has been in use. This on-screen record allows you to schedule preventativemaintenance on actual operating hours rather thanarbitrary time periods.
Motorized Tester Drive UnitVanKel pioneered the use of a motorized drive unit.With the touch of a button, the motorized drive uniton the VK 7000 / 7010 dissolution testerelectronically lowers to the proper position. Whenthe drive unit is down, you can automatically raisethe head. The motorized head ensures it returns toprecisely the same location.
Automated Sampling ManifoldOne of the unique features of the VK 7000 / 7010 isthe ability to incorporate an automated samplingmanifold. At programmed intervals or by manualcontrol, the motorized sampling manifold providesproperly timed and precisely positioned sampling.See the automated sampling manifold on page 10.
Chuck AssemblyOur unique chuck design assures the shaft is lockedin place. Once the height is set, there is no need toworry about a change in alignment.
In addition, this system offers the flexibility of usingsmaller diameter shafts and mini paddles for low-volume dissolution testing.
Our type 316 stainless steel chuck offers rust-resistant and wobble-free support for your shafts.
Should you prefer a differentdesign using O-rings with a lockingring—this design can beincorporated into either theVK 7000 or VK 7010. This designis preferred by some customerswho perform a number ofstaggered basket starts. Contactyour VanKel representative formore information.
Individual Spindle ControlOur easy-to-use clutch system makes droppingtablets into non-rotating media per USP guidelineseffortless. The system provides a simple way toperform manual staggered drops for Apparatus 2.Just raise the clutch handle and the spindle isdisengaged. Push down the clutch handle to engagethe spindle.
PrinterOur built-in dot matrix printersproduce documents that can bedirectly inserted into your laboratorynotebooks. Every VK 7000 / 7010includes a built-in Report Center IIprinter.
VK 750D Heater / CirculatorThe external circulator providesprecise temperature control. Itshigh throughput minimizes warmup time. The external VK 750DHeater / Circulator reducesvibration and fits easily behindthe dissolution tester in order toconserve valuable bench space.
Molded BathThis seamless bath was designed to warm allvessels evenly by stabilizing the temperaturegradient. This design assures uniform temperaturecontrol and makes cleaning easy.
The seamless water bath is molded from clearPETG, a high performance polymer with more heatand chemical stability than acrylic. The clear colorallows you to see the vessels through the waterbath.
To ensure the bath contains the appropriate amountof water, there is a fill line for baths without vesselsas well as for baths with vessels in place.
Easy DrainThe easy access water bath drain spout allows forquick and simple routine cleaning.
Complete Operating System, No Post-purchaseAdd-onsWhen you purchase a VanKel dissolution tester,VanKel provides you with an all-inclusive pricequote. This quote includes the price of theequipment necessary to appropriately operate theinstrument. You receive your choice of baskets orpaddles, glass or plastic vessels, as well asevaporation covers and all tubing and connectors.

• Preconfigured for automated analysis• Measures and records temperature in each
vessel• Programmable Dosage Delivery Module
automatically delivers dosage form intovessel when used as Apparatus 2
• Incorporates all VK 7000 system features (seepage 14)
• Meets all current USP, JP and EPrequirements
ModularityThe VK 7010 allows for in-vessel temperaturemonitoring at programmed time points andautomated delivery of the dosage form. Theseautomation building blocks combine to create anextremely efficient stand-alone unit that can beutilized in an in-line sampling or analysis system asyour testing demands increase. For example,sampling can be easily added to the motorizedmanifold, a standard feature on the VK 7010.
In-vessel Temperature MeasurementThis motorized manifold automatically lowers,collects temperature readings from each vessel, andimmediately raises at programmable intervals. Eachsubsequent temperature reading repeats thissequence precisely.
Automatic Temperature MeasurementThe AutoTemp feature allows you to measure andrecord temperature. It can be used to automaticallystart a test after measuring the temperature in eachvessel to ensure they are stable and within limits.Because the manifold raises between time points, iteliminates the resident probe effect and maintainscorrect hydrodynamics.
Dosage Delivery ModuleThe Dosage DeliveryModule allows you to beelsewhere when the runstarts and drops occur withfar greater precision thanmanual techniques allow.This feature allows you toprogram simultaneous orsequential drops.
VK 7010 DISSOLUTION TESTING APPARATUS
Pathway to AutomationBecause the VK 7010 includes the internal hardwarenecessary for automation, it can easily connect to anautomated sample collector, UV spectrophotometer,LC instrument or Zymark's MultiDose systems. YourVanKel technical sales representative can explainthese options.
FlexibilityDue to the numerous options available, this versatilesystem can perform everything from simple manualsample collection to complete sample automation.
A standard VK 7010 accepts several vessel volumesincluding 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL and 1L vessels.If these volumes do not satisfy your sink conditions,an optional upgrade can be purchased whichaccommodates 1L and 2L vessel volumes. Seepage 12.
As with all VanKel products, we can tailor theVK 7010 to address most customer requests.
Resident Probe EffectThe USP recommends that when employingautomated systems which alter the agitationcharacteristics of the test, the equipment be
validated prior to use. The motorized samplingmanifold fully removes the cannula from the media
between time points in the same manner assomeone sampling manually. This reduces the
increased agitation associated with resident probes.

TOTAL SOLUTION• Complete UV automation package• IQ OQ PQ available for the system• Automatic start (including dosage drop)• Easy testing, validation and reporting • Meets all current USP, JP and EP
requirements
The VanKel and Varian TeamVanKel and Varian have combined forces to provideyou with one of the most innovative and flexibletablet dissolution systems on the market. Thissystem provides you with a simple automateddissolution testing system using UV-VIS analysis.When you order from VanKel, you have one vendorto handle your training as well as any questions thatmay arise.
Complete Dissolution SystemThe Total Solution system includes a computer,monitor, printer, Cary 50 Spectrophotometer andyour choice of VanKel dissolution tester. The TotalSolution is available in single- or dual-bathconfigurations.
Self-operating SystemThe software allows you to pre-program a start time.When used in conjunction with the VK 7010, paddlemethods can be started automatically.
Measures Samples with High BackgroundCorrectionYou can measure highly absorbing samples withoutdilution. The extended photometric range of the Caryinstrument allows you to measure samples requiringhigh background correction that would normallyrequire HPLC analysis.
Flow-through Sample CollectionThe Cary 50 utilizes an 18-position multicelltransport. The flow-through design maintains aconstant volume in the vessels throughout the entirerun by returning the solution back into the vessels,eliminating the need to calculate for volume lost.Cross-contamination between samples cannot occuras each vessel has a dedicated flow cell.
Variable Data Collection RateYou can specify multiple regions in the run, each ofwhich has a different data collection rate. This allowsyou to collect more data when the absorbance ischanging quickly and to have fewer data points inthe more stable parts of the dissolution profile.
Secure Data CollectionUnlike more conventional systems that store dataonly at the end of a run, the VanKel Total Solutionstores data as it is acquired. Because data is beingcontinually saved, even in the event of a poweroutage, your data to that point is secure.
Reporting SolutionA comprehensive report can be tailored for yourspecific reporting needs. Graphics showing timeversus percent dissolved, time versus milligramsdissolved, and time versus absorbance can beincluded in a report, with each vessel indicated by adifferent color trace. Your dissolution reports caninclude your company logo or any bitmap youchoose.
Audit trails are logged providing information abouthow the data was collected and calculated.

21 CFR Part 11 ComplianceVanKel and Varian are committed to providing asystem meeting this regulatory requirement. For anupdate on the current system, please check theVarian Web site at www.varianinc.com.
Cary 50 SpectrophotometerThe Cary 50 Xenon lamp allows 80data points per second.
The Xenon lamp flashes only whenacquiring a data point, unlike a diodearray which exposes the sample to thewhole wavelength range with eachreading, causing degradation ofphotosensitive samples.
The Cary 50 is unaffected by room light. It can beoperated with the sample compartment opened orclosed.
The 18-position multicell transport easily handleseither 1 or 2 dissolution baths. Because each vesselhas its own flow cell, there is no cross-contamination.
Software Components• Cary Win UV software version 2.02 is supported

The Power of XenonThe Cary 50 uses a Xenon flash lamp which flashesonly when acquiring a data point, rather thanexposing the sample to the whole wavelength rangeat each reading. This minimizes degradation ofphotosensitive samples.
The Xenon lamp has a long life expectancy so youwon’t be changing bulbs very often—if at all.
The Xenon lamp allows the Cary 50 to use a beamsplitter for simultaneous reference beam correctionwithout the loss of energy, which causes excessivephotometric noise. In addition the peaks will not shiftas the scan speed changes.
Fast, Effective and FlexibleYou can scan the entire wavelength range from 190-1100 nm in less than 3 seconds.
The Cary 50 can measure samples up to 3.0 Abs.,decreasing the need for dilution.
The Cary 50 is unaffected by room light. Operatewith the sample compartment open or closed; thereis no difference.
Dual Cell Tubing KitThe Cary 50 makes it easyto interconnect two differentcells within the 18-positionmulticell transport. Thisallows you to switchbetween two sets of cells(typically with differentpathlengths) with nodisassembling or re-assembling of the tubing lines.Switching between methods requiring cells ofdifferent pathlengths is as easy as selecting the cellsto be read using the Total Solution software. Onlyone tester can be used when the dual cell tubing isin place.
Quartz Flow CellsFlow cells are specially designed for the VanKelTotal Solution System Cary 50. Smaller pathlengthsare available. Call VanKel for details.

Evacuate, Rinse, RepeatThe VK 900 Washing Station pressure washes thevessel with three washing cycles. The VK 900’swashing ball uses a revolving action and highpressure stream to wash the interior of your vessels.In less than five minutes your tester is ready for thenext test.
With one filling of the rinse tank you can clean up to32 1L vessels before a changeover is required.
Easy to Fill, Easy to EmptyThe quick-disconnect fitting on the top of thewashing station makes filling the rinse tank as easyas turning on a water faucet. The rinse tank isequipped with an inlet valve and float device toprevent overfilling. An LED illuminates to indicate thetank is full.
An antifoaming agent can be added to the wastetank to minimize foaming when evacuating mediacontaining surfactants.
The built-in vacuum pump easily evacuates thewaste tank. Neutralizing agents can be added to thewaste tank prior to disposal.
Saves TimeWhen you remove vessels for washing, you shouldalways reverify the centering and heightparameters. Cleaning the vessels in placepreserves set parameters and eliminates the time-consuming step of reverification from future tests.
One Station Fits AllThe VK 900 is compatible with most dissolutiontesters. The aspiration tube can be configured toremove spent media from any 1L vessel. Thecleaning head fits securely over any standardvessel.
MobileThe VK 900 is a cleaning, containment and disposalunit all in one mobile housing. The durable casterssmoothly roll the unit directly to your dissolutiontester.

VanKel Verified Vessels• Individual certificate• Critical dimensions measured• Results are traceable
If an apparatus is not set up correctly from the start,it is going to need attention in the future. TheVK Verified program is your assurance that youraccessories will conform to all regulatory standards,as well as to the more stringent internalspecifications of VanKel.
Almost all dissolution vessels are hand-made fromglass tubing. Due to hand-forming, no 2 vessels areexactly alike. This is particularly important for thebottom curvature. As of this publication, there are nopublished specifications as to the “hemisphericity” ofthe vessel. At VanKel, we’ve created our owntolerances based on those the USP hasrecommended for the ID. The diameter (1) has aUSP tolerance of ±4 mm. We have taken half of thisvalue and created a requirement for the hemisphere(3) to be ±2 mm. We inspect each vessel and recordthe actual dimension. The result—you get vesselsthat are neither too shallow nor too deep and acertificate to verify the actual dimensions.

The benefit to you is greater consistency of testresults. Although not exactly alike, these VK verifiedvessels are held to very tight tolerances. Substitutinga VK verified vessel for a broken vessel should yieldno perceptive difference in results. A certificate isincluded to provide the actual measured values, thetype of measuring device used, and its traceability.

Baskets - mesh vs. micron
Fabricated with 316 stainless steel, basketshave a standard mesh screen of 40. Mesh isdefined as the number of openings per linearinch. Another term often associated with meshsize is micron, which is defined as the size of
the openings. The number of openings perlinear inch and the diameter of the wire will
affect micron size.

CANNULA FILTERS
Full Flow FiltersDissolution continues until the sample is filtered. TheFull Flow filter, when attached to a manual orautomated sampling cannula, provides immediatefiltration which preserves the integrity of thedissolution sample.
Filters are made of ultrahigh molecular weight(UHMW) polyethylene. The increased surface areaof the Full Flow filter versus conventional filter tipsoptimizes filter life. Use with 1/8-inch cannulas. Soldin package and case quantity.
Full Flow filters are color coded to avoid using thewrong porosity.
Proper Sampling Position
When sampling, withdraw a sample from a zone midway between the surface of the dissolution medium and the top of
the rotating basket or blade, not less than one centimeter
from the vessel wall.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER
AutoTemp In-vessel TemperatureSensing System• Individual vessel temperatures measured and
recorded• Monitor media temperatures and
automatically start a test once all the vesselshave stabilized
The new AutoTemp System board plugs directly intothe RS232 serial port on your VK 7000 DissolutionTesting Station. AutoTemp measures individual in-vessel temperatures, transmitting them via theRS232 serial port and displaying them on the statusscreen of your VK 7000. Sensors are lowered intothe vessels by a motorized manifold and thenremoved as soon as temperatures have beenmeasured to eliminate disturbances associated withresident dwelling probes during the test. TheAutoTemp accessory is available factory installedwhen ordered with a new bath or can be retrofit toan existing unit. You can program the frequency atwhich you wish to monitor and record thetemperature.
