The European Pharmacopeia describes methods to test the disintegration time and softening time of suppositories. Disintegration time is measured by placing the samples into rotating baskets inside a heated water bath. The softening time is the time for which the suppository melts at a certain temperature. This is an indication for the hardness of the base. This range of instruments to test the quality of suppositories, pessaries and creams includes disintegration and penetration testers.
