Imitation of gastrointestinal conditions is necessary for dissolution and pharmacokinetic studies of drug formulations. Dissolution is a routine part of quality control testing for most medications and dissolution methods, including required medium, are specified by Pharmacopeia monographs. The use of appropriate dissolution media during drug development stage also helps answer questions on bioavailability of the pharmaceuticals.

This Simulated Intestinal Fluid is prepared according to USP specifications. Pickering Laboratories' two part formulation comes with dry pre-weighted pancreatin powder to be mixed in before use.
