708-DS / 709-DS Operator’s Manual

2

Introduction

 

Agilent’s 708-DS and 709-DS Dissolution Apparatus are designed for 
dissolution testing of a variety of pharmaceutical products, including 
tablets, capsules, and transdermal patches. Using a common platform, 
both models are available with an intuitive, color touch screen interface. 
Likewise, you may select the 708-DS for traditional water bath vessel 
heating, or choose the 709-DS for simplified, bath-free, self-heating 
vessels with Agilent’s Direct Vessel Heating (DVH). Each apparatus 
can be tailored to support several innovative features designed to allow 
unattended dissolution testing, including Dosage Delivery Module 
(DDM), AutoTemp, and Auto Sampling. 

WARNING

The dissolution apparatus contains electrical circuits, devices, 
and components operating at dangerous voltages. Contact with 
these circuits, devices and components can cause death, serious 
injury, or painful electric shock. 

CAUTION

Panels or covers that are retained by fasteners which require the use 
of a tool for removal may be opened only by Agilent-trained, 
Agilent-qualified, or Agilent-authorized service engineers
