Development and Validation of In Vitro Release Testing (IVRT)
Development and Validation of In Vitro Release Testing (IVRT) Development and Validation of in In Vitro Release Testing have become an essential issue in this advanced era. Vitro Release Testing, also known as, IVRT plays a significant functional role in medical experiments. In the course of any drug product development, the measurement of the drug is very vital. IVRT has proved to be quiet a promising factor in the measurement of the drug release elements. The release ratio is controlled by API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) in drug testing. The testing process goes on during all the phases of the experiment. IVRT is especially needed in the non-oral doses and semi-solid formulations to measure the drug elements.
