Labindia Tablet Dissolution Tester DS 8000 (Basic)
With proven quality and technology the Labindia tablet Dissolution testers are built for simple dissolution testing with budget in mind as well. The tablet dissolution tester DS 8000 (Basic) is uniquely designed to support USP 1,2,5 & 6 and is compliant with currently USP, BP, EP, IP specifications.The high head dissolution testing apparatus can be configured for 6,7 or 8 vessel configuration and the moulded water bath which has an outlet for easy cleaning. The external water circulator with heater is vibration free and ensures a constant temperature throughout the dissolution test run.
This makes the Dissolution tester DS 8000 a perfect entry level model for dissolution testing.
Standard Features of Tablet Dissolution Tester DS 8000 (Basic)
- 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 6+2 (3+1 & 3+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 marked with serial numbers for traceability.
- Tablet dispenser - drops 6 dosage form at single instance.(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.
- Facility to monitor Vessel temp., with DTS Technology (Digital Temperature Sensor)
