board database of the CD14 Tester stores the system
configuration including the serial numbers of all vessels,
paddles, and baskets, and the position into which each item is

Each dissolution vessel installs into an adjustable bracket
attached to the vessel plate. These vessel-centering brackets
allow precision adjustments to the dissolution vessel’s position
in relation to the spin-shaft and any apparatus attached to it.
The system allows fast and easy vessel centering to meet or

specifications.
