Tablets & Capsules October 2017 31 Issue focus quality, validation, & regulatory compliance Dissolution tester Model 2500 bathless dissolution tester uses jackets to heat media from ambient to 37°C in less than 15 minutes and as high as 99°C. Touch-screen control enables you to track serialized stirring elements and to check qualification sta- tus and due dates. It also lets you gen- erate reports and store test method data. Other features include inter- changeable paddles and baskets and automatic height adjustment so you can quickly transition between apparatus 1 and 2 without removing shafts. Wire- less in-shaft temperature sensor contin- uously monitors individual vessel tem- peratures, eliminating manual checks to verify compliance. Distek, North Brunswick, NJ. Tel. 732 422 7585 www.distekinc.com Capsule checkweigher Anritsu capsule checkweigher inspects as many as 230,000 capsules per hour with ±0.5-milligram accuracy. Unit checks load cell sensitivity in 30 sec- onds, reducing errors compared to tra- ditional verification methods. Overload protection prevents downtime if load cell is overloaded during changeover or cleaning. Unit has small footprint, allows real-time remote data collection via Ethernet, and eliminates blind spots to prevent capsules from getting lost and mixing with other products. Chassis is easy to clean and changeover parts for capsule sizes 000 to 5 require no tools. Windows-based touch-screen displays production trends, including histograms that show trending information and underweight and overweight counts. Checkweigher tracks every capsule, uses three reject gates, and verifies rejection. It complies with 21 CFR part 11. MG America, Fairfield, NJ. Tel. 973 808 8185 www.mgamerica.com Powder flow tester Powder flow tester assesses flow metrics to define flow function, bulk density, arching dimension, rat-hole diameter, wall friction, and hopper half-angle. For tablet formulations, it calculates fill and final bulk density in less than 2 minutes. Shear-cell-based tester evaluates new powder formulations and serves as QC point to determine batch-to-batch con- sistency. Software runs tests automati- cally and generates reports with statisti- cal analyses to help you characterize powder. Data can be exported as .pdf or Excel files. Ametek Brookfield, Middleboro, MA.
