Tablet Dissolution Tester DS 14000 (Basic)
The Labindia tablet dissolution tester DS14000 delivers proven quality with a budget in mind for simple dissolution testing. Labindia Tablet Dissolution Tester DS 14000 is designed to support USP, BP, IP ,JP specifications. The 12+2 (6+1 & 6+1) vessel configuration enables comparative studies.
This Dissolution Tester is compliant with current USP, BP, IP, EP regulations and ASTM regulation of the US FDA. The unique external water bath circulator and heater reduces the influence of vibrations and gives a constant temperature in the dissolution vessel. Parallel port for Printer and PC compatibility for data downloading.
All these and many more features gives the dissolution tester DS 14000 a perfect entry level system.
- Advanced, Micro-Controller based: User-friendly, complies with current USP, BP, IP & EP specifications.
- Splash waterproof keyboard: Alphanumeric polyester soft keys for keyboard.
- Moulded water bath with 12+2 (6+1 & 6+1) vessel configuration enables comparative studies.
- External vibration free Water Circulator: for uniform water circulation, with audible, low water level alarm, with indication on display for safety.
- Mono shaft design with automatic adjustment for 25 mm depth setting with easy changeover between Apparatus I & II eliminates routine height validation as per USP.
- Paddles, Baskets and Vessels are laser mark with serial numbers for traceability.
- Tablet dispenser - drops 12 dosage form at single instant.(Optional)
- Low Evaporation Lids: The conical shape low evaporation recovery lids reduces media loss during long run.
- Integrated pre-centered lids; no manual removal or positioning of lids. This ensures automatic vessel centering and precise positioning of paddle/basket with shaft without any special tool as per pharmacopeia requirements.
- State-of-the-art design: Easy placement and locking of vessels, the Ease-align system allows the vessels to simply slide into the place (Bionet Locking). Once placed, vessels do not float even when empty.
