Method
Transdermal or patch testing is carried out using USP method 5 (paddle over disc) or USP method 6, the rotating cylinder.
With paddle over disc, the transdermal patch is placed between a glass disc and an inert PTFE mesh. This is placed at the bottom of the vessel, with the mesh facing upwards, under a rotating paddle.
Unlike dissolution testing, transdermal testing is carried out at 32°C to reflect the lower temperature of the skin. Other variables such as the height setting and sampling requirements are the same as dissolution testing.
The APPFIVE-HR watch glass patch holder is a borosilicate
watch glass with a 17 mesh PTFE screen, held together
by plastic clips. Patches up to 90mm in diameter can be
tested. It is compatible with all brands of dissolution bath
and conforms exactly to the USP specification.
With paddle over disc, a transdermal patch is placed either
between a glass disc and an inert PTFE mesh (APPFIVE-HR),
or directly onto a stainless steel mesh (APPFIVE-V35,
APPFIVE-V56 and APPFIVE-V80). This is placed at the
bottom of the vessel, with the mesh facing upwards, under
a rotating paddle.
Transdermal testing is carried out at 32°C to reflect the
temperature of the skin.
Other variables such as the height setting and sampling
requirements are the same as for USP Method 2.
The USP 5 apparatus is compatible with all brands of
dissolution bath.
