Design and development of a novel diffusion cell for advanced UV imaging to characterise pharmaceutical formulations

There is a need for real time monitoring methodologies that can determine and provide insights into the permeation events more precisely This need has led to the development of a novel cell defined in this poster that allows a non intrusive real time UVimaging across synthetic membranes to characterise the permeation of a topical formulation This was achieved using a second generation dissolution imaging instrument (SDI 2 The authors are currently not aware of any work in developing a Franz set up that allows UV.
