FEDGAS
Biorelevant dissolution media simulating gastric fluids after food
Excellent discriminatory power for neutral, basic or acidic BCS Class 2 drugs
Reduce the risk of bioequivalence (BE) failures for water insoluble drugs
3 different pH’s (6, 4.5 and 3) reflect different stages of stomach emptying
Designed for use in standard USP Dissolution 1 and 2 apparatus
Each bottle of Gel +Buffer Concentrate makes 6L of dissolution medium
Custom Syringe Filters available in packs of 72 pieces
1) Buy Gel:
Use in combination with FEDGAS Buffer Concentrate of your choice
2) Choose Buffer Concentrate(s):
pH values represent different stages of stomach emptying: early (6), middle (4.5) and late (3)
Use in combination with FEDGAS Gel
3) Add Syringe Filters:
For filtration of dissolution samples <5mL we recommend 13mm version
For filtration of dissolution samples >5mL we recommend 25mm version

FEDGAS simulates fed state gastric fluids. You can harness its power in your laboratory to discriminate significant formulation differences between your Test Product and the Reference. 900ml of this biorelevant dissolution medium contains the 62.5g of fat present in the high-fat meal along with bile salts present at physiological levels found in the fed stomach. Testing in it is particularly useful for lipophilic water insoluble drugs because good physiological dissolution conditions are created for these drugs.
Three types of fed state gastric media (at pH 6, pH 4.5 and pH 3) can easily be prepared using FEDGAS Gel and the appropriate diluted FEDGAS Buffer Concentrate. These three dissolution media reflect the different states of stomach emptying:
Generating and comparing dissolution profiles in the right biorelevant media helps reduce the risk of an expensive failed human bioequivalence study due to differences in formulation. Matching the dissolution profile of your Test Formulation to the Originator in FEDGAS will maximise the chances of achieving successful bioequivalence. In vitro biorelevant dissolution helps identify a Test formulation that matches the release rate of the Reference in vivo.
