Basket and Paddle Height

The USP states that the bottom of the basket/paddle is 25mm ±2mm above the bottom of the vessel. This parameter is normally measured using one of several designs of height tester. The height is important for having reproducible media hydrodynamics. Incorrectly set paddle heights can cause both high and low readings.
