VK 7000 AND VK 7010 KEY FEATURES
Dissolution Instrumentation
Built-in Alarms
Both the VK 7000 and the VK 7010 have a variety of
built-in alarm features. You are warned of any
temperature deviations from the set parameters,
power outages, as well as the upcoming calibration
date.
VK 7010
Parameter Programming
A simple menu allows you to easily program your
parameters including:
delayed start
RPM (8 - 250 RPM)
length of test
temperature
infinity spin
Timed Wake-up
This unique feature automatically turns on the tester
and circulator at a predetermined time. This ensures
your bath is at the proper temperature without
operating the circulator continuously.
Elapsed Time Indicator
These testers offer an on-screen elapsed time
indicator. This indicator can be easily read from
across the room.

Printer
Our built-in dot matrix printers
produce documents that can be
directly inserted into your laboratory
notebooks. Every VK 7000 / 7010
includes a built-in Report Center II
printer.
VK 750D Heater / Circulator
The external circulator provides
precise temperature control. Its
high throughput minimizes warm
up time. The external VK 750D
Heater / Circulator reduces
vibration and fits easily behind
the dissolution tester in order to
conserve valuable bench space.

Molded Bath
This seamless bath was designed to warm all
vessels evenly by stabilizing the temperature
gradient. This design assures uniform temperature
control and makes cleaning easy.
The seamless water bath is molded from clear
PETG, a high performance polymer with more heat
and chemical stability than acrylic. The clear color
allows you to see the vessels through the water
bath.
To ensure the bath contains the appropriate amount
of water, there is a fill line for baths without vessels
as well as for baths with vessels in place.
Easy Drain
The easy access water bath drain spout allows for
quick and simple routine cleaning.

VK 7010 DISSOLUTION TESTING APPARATUS
Dissolution Instrumentation
Modularity
The VK 7010 allows for in-vessel temperature
monitoring at programmed time points and
automated delivery of the dosage form. These
automation building blocks combine to create an
extremely efficient stand-alone unit that can be
utilized in an in-line sampling or analysis system as
your testing demands increase. For example,
sampling can be easily added to the motorized
manifold, a standard feature on the VK 7010.
In-vessel Temperature Measurement
This motorized manifold automatically lowers,
collects temperature readings from each vessel, and
immediately raises at programmable intervals. Each
subsequent temperature reading repeats this
sequence precisely.
Automatic Temperature Measurement
The AutoTemp feature allows you to measure and
record temperature. It can be used to automatically
start a test after measuring the temperature in each
vessel to ensure they are stable and within limits.
Because the manifold raises between time points, it
eliminates the resident probe effect and maintains
correct hydrodynamics.
Dosage Delivery Module
The Dosage Delivery
Module allows you to be
elsewhere when the run
starts and drops occur with
far greater precision than
manual techniques allow.
This feature allows you to
program simultaneous or
sequential drops.
Pathway to Automation
Because the VK 7010 includes the internal hardware
necessary for automation, it can easily connect to an
automated sample collector, UV spectrophotometer,
LC instrument or Zymark's MultiDose systems. Your
VanKel technical sales representative can explain
these options.
Flexibility
Due to the numerous options available, this versatile
system can perform everything from simple manual
sample collection to complete sample automation.
A standard VK 7010 accepts several vessel volumes
including 100 mL, 200 mL, 500 mL and 1L vessels.
If these volumes do not satisfy your sink conditions,
an optional upgrade can be purchased which
accommodates 1L and 2L vessel volumes. See
page 12.
As with all VanKel products, we can tailor the
VK 7010 to address most customer requests.

VK 7010 Benchsaver
6-spindle, 6-vessel
The Benchsaver configuration saves laboratory bench
space. The vessel configuration consists of 2 rows of
3 vessels. The Benchsaver comes with 15-inch
paddles. For increased flexibility when sampling
manually, we recommend use of the 19-inch paddles
and extended height spacer PN 12-0321 (see page
39). This allows greater clearance to access the
middle position of the back row.

Waters Corporation
The VK 7000 and 7010 are fully compatible with the
Waters Alliance System for automated sampling
using programming capabilities built into VanKel
testers. Unlike other testers, VanKel testers do not
require the use of resident dwelling probes. All
operating parameters can be initiated by the transfer
station, including the dropping of tablets and
recording individual vessel temperature
measurements and sampling time points
(dosage dropping and vessel temperature
measurement are standard features of the
VK 7010). The Alliance System, with
Millennium software, allows two testers to
be connected to one LC. To accommodate
the Waters sampling probes, we offer
customized sampling manifolds. These can
be fitted to any VK 7000 or VK 7010.
Using a VK 7010, you can automate the
start of the test (measuring and recording
the temperature) as well as dropping the
dosage form when used with paddles.
Note that
tubing and sampling cannulas are supplied by
Waters.
manifolds require the use of a motorized drive.
Your tester may or may not have this already
installed.
Please call your VanKel representative if you have

Zymark MultiDose
Zymark has developed an advanced workstation for
fully automated USP II dissolution testing. The
MultiDose Automated Dissolution Workstation runs
up to 8 batches (48 samples) without intervention,
using the same method or different methods. The
system can perform single-point dissolution tests or
multiple point dissolution profiles. All activities of the
system are documented in an electronic audit trail.
The system is fully USP compliant. The MultiDose
performs a typical automated dissolution sequence
in the following way:
preheat and degas the media
dispense the requested volume of media into
each vessel with gravimetric confirmation
verify and record the temperature in all six
vessels
automatically introduce the dosage form to start
the test
remove and filter samples at prescribed time
interval(s)
replace the volume of media removed at users
option
perform online UV measurements or collect
fractions
empty vessels, then wash them in place
start again until all methods have been executed
The MultiDose is fully validated upon installation; IQ,
OQ and PQ protocols executed and final report
generated. Also, the new MultiDose G3 software
package now makes the unit fully 21 CFR Part 11
compliant.

Reliable Results
For increased overall accuracy of your dissolution
tests, this system utilizes easily calibrated and
traceable gauges to measure the actual centerline
offset for a shaft. It also measures the distance
between the bottom of the paddle or basket and the
inner apex of the bottom of the vessel.
Digital Measurements
The VK 5010 takes measurements digitally
eliminating visual interpretation and estimation and
removing the likelihood of human error.
