• Fast, Direct Vessel Heating (DVH) heater element with copper wire captured between two layers of thin-film polyester, baked onto the glass vessel
• DVH vessels positioned within environmental chambers protect the vessel from environmental factors and protect the analyst and lab from any accidental chemical spills due to broken vessels
• No algae-accumulating water bath or circulating pumps
• AutoTemp in-vessel temperature monitoring with two RTD temperature sensors per vessel
• Individual cannula control allow for simultaneous or staggered starts
• DVH TruCenter™ vessels standard

V-Series Highlights

• Large front panel display provides full information on spindle speed, elapsed time, temperature and more. Two character sizes; standard for programming, larger size used for monitoring operating parameters.
• Motorized drive head slides from the front to the rear of the tester providing easy access to the vessels for removal and cleaning.
• DVH TruCenter vessels ensure perfect centering and automatically lock the vessels in place.

The innovative V-Series, of which the VK 7030 is the latest model, is an excellent example of the products we create to address the critical challenges that pharmaceutical customers like you face in your laboratory. Featuring a unique V-shape, this sophisticated series of testers offers enhanced visibility – allowing you a direct view of six sample vessels at all times from the front of the tester. And the VK 7030, which replaces a traditional water bath with patented DVH (Direct Vessel Heating) technology delivers a fast startup, excellent temperature uniformity, and the easiest maintenance of any dissolution tester available today. The best news about this new DVH technology? It exceeds USP guidelines and does not change hydrodynamic flow – so no revalidating is required.
