Quality testing device 100

temperaturedisintegrationautomatic

Drug dosage forms must be tested for disintegration. The test is performed to ensure both maximum active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) contact is achieved with the media and subsequent API bioavailability. The disintegration test is an important quality control process. Whether the goal is disintegration testing of tablets or capsules, an automated disintegration apparatus helps ensure that the proper manufacturing controls are in place. The fully programmable Agilent 100 automated disintegration apparatus provides a reliable, compliant approach to disintegration testing. The reciprocating drive system, water bath, and heater/circulator are incorporated into a single instrument with a compact, bench space-saving design. The apparatus is available in a three-basket model and comes complete with accessories required to perform the standard United States Pharmacopeia disintegration test (USP ). Features Efficient—allows up to three different batches to be tested concurrently, and each basket can be individually programmed Integrated—integrates the drive system, water bath, and heater/circulator with the test basket, eliminating the need for separate testing components Programmable capabilities—easy keypad interface directs independent control of up to three separate test baskets. Baskets may be programmed to automatically lift out of the beakers upon completion of the test Temperature control—water bath temperature is controlled from the keypad, can be reached in minutes, and is continuously displayed on the front-facing LED panel Compact—the system is designed to save valuable laboratory bench space
