Johannes Kramer, Jennifer J. Dressman

"…an excellent handbook on methods of dissolution testing of pharmaceuticals….this book really does cover all aspects of dissolution testing, from the apparatus through development of methodology to the analysis and interpretation of results…."…a really valuable contribution to the scientific literature. It contains some excellent chapters, and is a sound mixture of historical perspective, forward-looking science, and practiced-based dissolution methodology….recommend[ed]."-European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics"…the only up-to-date comprehensive book on dissolution testing. It would be a valuable reference for scientists involved in analytical testing or product development."-Doody's Reviews
