User-Friendly Operation and Enhanced SafetyDesigned with convenience and safety in mind, this apparatus features overheat protection, a water level detector, and an audible buzzer when tests conclude. The intuitive digital LED displays and programmable timer simplify monitoring and control. With the capacity to handle two baskets simultaneously, the DST-2 balances efficiency and accuracy, making it suitable for diverse tablet and capsule analyses.
FAQs of Tablet Disintegration Test Apparatus:
Q: How does the Tablet Disintegration Test Apparatus work?
A: This apparatus evaluates the time required for tablets or capsules to disintegrate under standardized conditions. Baskets containing samples are immersed and agitated in heated borosilicate beakers filled with a specified liquid, with basket movement and temperature controlled by an integrated microprocessor. Upon test completion, an audible buzzer alerts users.
Q: What materials are used for the basket assemblies and beakers?
A: The basket assemblies are constructed from durable stainless steel and plastic, ensuring longevity and chemical resistance. The beakers are made from 1000ml borosilicate glass, which provides superior thermal stability and clarity during testing.
Q: When should I use this apparatus?
A: Use the DST-2 apparatus whenever you need to determine the disintegration time of pharmaceutical tablets or capsules, as required by quality control protocols or regulatory standards (IP/USP/BP) during research, development, or manufacturing processes.
Q: Where can the DST-2 be effectively utilized?
A: The device is ideal for use in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, quality control laboratories, research centers, and academic institutions where compliance with pharmacopoeia standards is necessary.
Q: What is the benefit of microprocessor-based control in this system?
A: The microprocessor-based control ensures accurate temperature regulation, cycle speed, and programmable timer settings, enhancing reliability while reducing manual intervention and user error.
Q: How does the safety system protect both the user and samples?
A: DST-2 is equipped with features like overheating protection, a water level detector, and an audible buzzer to prevent overheating or dry running, thus safeguarding both the operator and test samples.
Q: What processes can be programmed or adjusted on the DST-2?
A: Users can program disintegration test duration, temperature setpoints (25C to 45C), and basket cycle speed, allowing customization for different formulations and testing protocols.
