Description
Disintegration Testing.
A tablet disintegration tester determines whether tablets or capsules disintegrate within a defined period of time when placed in a liquid medium. Compliant design according to current Pharmacopeia (USP <701>, USP <2040>, Ph. Eur. 2.9.1) and robust Swiss quality components provide a reproducible and standardized method of ensuring that complete disintegration has taken place. Innovative automated end-point detection and recording of individual disintegration times per sample allow unattended testing without manual observation by operators.
The DT2 is a very easy-to-use and flexible disintegration tester with reliable temperature control. Record and report disintegration times individually per sample or as a completed set. Two stations that can be controlled, started, and stopped individually allow to perform 2 tests independently.
Features
- Two independent testing stations with automated lift-in/out functions and programming
- Automatically lowers the baskets at test start and raises the baskets at test end
- Print test reports with disintegration times, statistics, and temperature protocol
- Manual recording of individual disintegration times per tablet or of a complete set
- Precise temperature control with integrated flow-through heating system
Test modes.
The DT2 allows to record and report disintegration times in different test modes. End-points can be protocolled individually per sample – or alternatively the operator simply checks whether all samples have disintegrated within the specified run time. If baskets are lifted out during a test for visual checking, the “test hold time” is automatically recorded.
Temperature control.
An integrated heating system with dual-sensor ensures precise temperature control of the test medium. A built-in sensor continuously monitors the circulating water temperature and an additional external probe can be mounted on the basket to monitor the medium temperature during the test. Operators conveniently print a report at the end of each test documenting disintegration time(s) and test conditions.
