Tablets & Capsules May 2016 39 Isolator Isolator protects you from potent or cytotoxic powders dur- ing particle size reduction and allows you to add and remove equipment. Single isolator accepts multiple feeders, mills, sieves, granulators, mixers, and blenders. Other features include explosion protection, controlled humidity, and nitro- gen purge system. L-shaped window with ports allows you to observe processing and gives easy access to equipment for cleaning and exchange. Powder Systems, Boise, ID. Tel. 208 376 7008 www.powdersystems.com Particle analyzer Litesizer 500 particle analyzer measures size, zeta potential, and molecular mass of nano- and microparticles in dispersions and solutions. You can set up and run experiments in seconds. User- friendly software allows you to print input parameters, results, and analysis on single page. Instrument's cmPALs technology allows shorter measuring times and lower applied electric fields than other methods, enabling it to test sensitive samples with little deterioration. Additional features include automated three- angle analysis, continuous transmittance to monitor sample sta- bility over time, and novel zeta-potential cuvette that allows you to take measurements independent of position and to dis- tinguish multiple particle sizes in single suspension. Anton Paar USA, Ashland, VA. Tel. 804 550 1051 www.anton-paar.com Bead mills DeltaVita series bead mills reduce particles to 200 nanome- ters or less, increasing surface area and improving dissolution and bioavailability of poorly soluble APIs. Better bioavailabil- ity reduces amount of API required, production costs, and risk of side effects. GMP-compliant units produce batches of 15 milliliters to 4,000 liters. Laboratory mills accept grinding chambers in range of sizes, use grinding media of 0.05 to 2 millimeters, and separate media from product using centrifu- gal force. Company supplies FAT, IQ, OQ, and PQ valida- tion documentation. CIP and sterilize-in-place systems are optional for pilot- and production-scale mills. Data recording and formulation management are also available. Netzsch Premier Technologies, Exton, PA. Tel. 800 676 6455 www.netzsch.com/gd
