This
instrument is designed for accurate estimation of disintegration time
of tablets as per IP/USP Standards. The apparatus is suitable for Quality
Control and Research & Development Laboratories of Pharmaceutical
Industries.
The
disintegration test determines whether tablets disintegrate within a
prescribed time, when placed in a liquid medium under specific experimental
conditions.
This
is a very simple and easy-to-operate sturdy instrument. The apparatus
is designed to test two batches of six tablets, simultaneously. The
front panel of the a apparatus consists of two heater controllers, motor
& main switches and respective pilot lamps, The instrument is assembled
in Chemical resistant epoxy powder coated cabinet. Two stainless steel
housings are heated with special sealed bottom heaters. The desired
test temperature is controlled and maintained by sensitive thermostats.
Two beakers having capacity 1000 cc each are provided with the instrument.
In these beakers suitable disintegration media can be taken and maintained
at constant temperature.
A
superior quality constant speed motor moves the Disintegration Test
Baskets 'UP & DOWN', at constant speed, as required. The stroke
length is set and maintained as per IP/USP specifications. Two baskets
each with six glass tubes, guided discs with clamps are provided with
the apparatus as per IP/USP specifications.
The
baskets move 'UP & DOWN' with each stroke in the beakers in which
liquid media is maintained at constant temperature, as per IP/USP test
specifications. By observing the state of the tablets, disintegration
time of the tablets, can be easily determined. The unit works on 220/230
Volts, 50 Hz, single phase AC supply.
