16 October 2015 Tablets & Capsules Issue focus quality, validation & regulatory compliance Dissolution validation services Manufacturer of dissolution testing equipment offers certified chemists and technicians to perform range of valida- tion services, including installation qual- ification, mechanical qualification, per- formance verification testing, preventive maintenance, operational qualification/performance verification, and drafting of standard operating pro- cedures and validation contracts. Con- sistent, traceable results meet regulatory requirements. Distek, North Brunswick, NJ. Tel. 732 422 7585 www.distekinc.com Blister testing CT3 texture analyzer (left) adapts to quantify force needed to expel tablet or capsule from blister packaging. After sample is placed on support fixture (closeup, right), finger-like probe descends to exert pressure, expelling tablet or capsule from foil side of package. Both probe and support fixture are customizable to size and shape of product and blister package. Texture analyzer also performs compression and tension tests to determine force required to split hard capsules; adhesive force of tablet coatings; strength of bi-layer tablet bond; how well tablets adhere to mucosal surfaces, and more. Optional TexturePro CT software generates custom reports and graphs. Brookfield Engineering, Middleboro, MA. Tel. 508 946 6200 www.brookfieldengineering.com Terathertz spectroscopic imaging TAS7500 terahertz pulsed spectrometer acquires characteristic spectra based on crystalline structure and 3D images to determine tablet coating thickness and uniformity; it also non-destructively detects cracks, voids, and other defects in tablet cores, such as from capping or chipping. Spectra allow you to measure solid-phase transitions and crystalline/amorphous composition; imaging experiments allow you to determine strength of coatings and interfacial bonds of multilayer tablets. Applications include monitoring change of scale of film coating process by measuring film density and strength. All-electronic, fiber-optic construction boosts speed and reliability.
