Chapter 1: Introduction
Operation Manual: Evolution Series
Overview
Distek is once again setting the standard by which all dissolution systems will be
measured. The new Evolution Series is taking dissolution testing to the next level
by advancing the state of the art design of its predecessor, the highly successful
Premiere Model 5100.
The Evolution Series is designed to meet today's demanding standards for accurate
temperature control and test result reporting. The enhanced user interface offers
a rich array of features and functionality, greatly improving the dissolution
chemist's productivity and control over the dissolution test. The Evolution has
menu driven navigation for ease of setup, manager and user log-in levels, 100
sorted methods and up to 40 test report storage.
