Tablets & Capsules April 2017 41 A survey of what's available Fiber optic dissolution tester Opt-Diss 410 UV fiber optic dissolution tester measures solu- tions directly in the vessel without filters, tubing, and pumps used in conventional units. In situ measurement also elimi- nates sampling errors and media loss calculations. Arch probes are stationary and prevent bubbles and don't trap par- ticles. Unit can quantify two components at once without need for separation. Single software package controls all operations and collects data simultaneously from six to 12 vessels as fast as every 5 seconds. Distek, North Brunswick, NJ. Tel. 732 422 7585 www.distekinc.com Tablet tester Tabletop tablet tester determines hardness, thickness, diameter, and length of as many as 250 samples per test run. Accuracy is ±0.02 millimeter for diameter and ±1 newton for hardness over range of 10 to 500 newtons. Instrument operates on principles of constant force and constant speed measurement, and you can adjust length of pauses between tests. Other features include touch-screen display, electronic load cell, programma- ble calibration and verification modes, and Ethernet and RS- 232 serial interface for printing data and graphs.

Tel. 636 926 8900 www.natoli.com test & inspection equipment Capsule checkweighers CWI capsule checkweighers inspect as many as 150,000 cap- sules per hour using electromagnetic force-compensation bal- ance that ensures accuracy of ±2 milligrams. All units accept capsule sizes 0el to 5, clinical capsules, and band-sealed capsules. Tool-free changeover saves time. Other features include reject- confirmation mechanism, automatic calibration, and graphic touch-screen control. Screen displays weight of each capsule by row, weight value trends (maximum, minimum, and aver- age), and number of products by row. Qualicaps, Whitsett, NC. Tel. 800 227 7853 www.qualicaps.com Blister leak detector Sepha Visionscan nondestructive leak detector uses camera, imaging software, and differential pressure measurement to detect weak seals and/or leaks in blister packs in multiple materials and formats. Test takes 10 seconds for micron-size holes and as little as 5 seconds for larger holes. Touch-screen shows pass/fail result for each individual pocket with defects as small as 7 microns. Unit uses no special tooling, enabling you test multiple products without changeover and allowing use in tandem with high-volume operations. Detector stores information about unlimited number of product types. Com- pany also offers VisionScan Max that accepts package mag- azine for semi-automatic testing of large quantities.
