Depth Setting Gauge

The USP states that the bottom of the basket/paddle is 25mm ± 2mm above the bottom of the vessel.

Height is important to ensure reproducible media hydrodynamics. Incorrectly set paddle heights can cause both low and high readings.

LabHut offers several options for depth setting gauges, as shown below, for measuring this parameter.
