DT50 Automatic Tablet Disintegration Tester

The DT50 is a modular disintegration testing system to automatically measure disintegration time of tablets and capsules in full compliance with current Pharmacopeia. Innovative induction heating technology reduces heating times to only 3-5 minutes and completely eliminates unproductive cleaning times typically associated with conventional water bath based systems. Whether used as single station tester or modular disintegration testing system with up to 4 independent stations, the DT50 guarantees maximum efficiency and consistent results.

AUTOMATIC TABLET DISINTEGRATION TESTING

The DT50 disintegration tester is a fully automatic testing system, which combines innovative induction heating technology with precision components. Visual monitoring of the disintegration process by the operator is not required.

-  Automatic detection of tablet disintegration time (end time)

-  From ambient to test temperature in 3-5 minutes

-  No water bath - very fast and easy cleaning

-  Wireless self-centering baskets

-  User-friendly touch screen operation

-  Up to 4 independent stations

-  Direct printing of statistical reports

-  100% USP and EP compliant design

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

Using state-of-the-art induction heating technology, the test medium quickly reaches the required within 3-5 minutes reducing unproductive waiting times to a minimum. Because the heating process occurs directly inside the beaker rather than by applying heat from the outside, the DT50 ensures very precise and homogeneous temperature control. Because the test medium temperature is permanently measured - also before starting a test - no manual check of nominal temperature is needed. Tests start automatically when the required temperature has been reached.

Advanced detection technology

The DT50 automatically detects and records:

-  Temperature of test medium

-  Individual tablet disintegration time

-  Beaker filling level

-  Test medium type (e.g. water/buffer or 0.1 NHCl)

-  Serial number of basket used

EASY HANDLING

From test setup to cleaning, the DT50 sets new standards for fast and ergonomic handling. Baskets can be conveniently exchanged within seconds and cleaning has never been easier.

-  Wireless baskets without any cables

-  Self-centering baskets with magnetic coupling

-  Robust basket design, protected against corrosion

-  Quick-change tubes for fast industrial cleaning

USER-FRIENDLY TOUCH SCREEN OPERATION

The DT50 is controlled via an intuitive and clearly structured color touch screen. Once a test has been started, the current disintegration status of each tablet is displayed graphically.

-  Graphical display of disintegration status per tube

-  Temperature and time

-  Basket type

-  Beaker detection

-  Pre-testing procedure possible

-  Programming of up to 100 products/methods

-  Integrated calibration & verification functions

-  Direct printing of statistical reports

MODULAR SYSTEM

The DT50 can be extended to a fully automatic disintegration testing system with up to 4 independent stations - all controlled via the touch screen of the Master station. Because individual testing stations are connected using TCP/IP technology, system layout is flexible and retrofitting additional stations is possible anytime.
