34 May 2018 Tablets & Capsules Bead mills DeltaVita series bead mills size reduce particles to 200 nano- meters or less, increasing the surface area and improving the dissolution and bioavailability of poorly soluble APIs. Better bioavailability reduces the amount of API required, lowering production costs and the risk of side effects. GMP-compliant units produce batches of 15 milliliters to 4,000 liters. Labora- tory mills accept grinding chambers in a range of sizes, use grinding media from 0.05 to 2 millimeters in diameter, and separate the media from the product using centrifugal force. Company supplies FAT, IQ, OQ, and PQ validation docu- mentation. CIP and SIP systems are optional for pilot- and production-scale mills. Data recording and formulation man- agement options are also available. Netzsch Premier Technologies, Exton, PA 800 676 6455 www.netzsch.com/gd Particle Analyzer LS 13 320 XR laser diffraction particle analyzer delivers fast, accurate, and reproducible high-resolution measurements and analysis, eliminating complex procedure setups and reducing the time required to process liquid or dry samples. Unit uses polarization intensity differential scattering tech- nology to analyze material at multiple wavelengths and polarities to deliver a highly accurate picture of the sample material. Analyzer can detect multiple peaks within a het- erogeneous sample and measure particle sizes from 10 nano- meters to 3,000 micrometers. Instrument has 127 laser dif- fraction detectors for analyzing particles larger than 0.4 micrometer and an additional 6 detectors for smaller parti- cle analysis. Streamlined software and an intuitive interface provide fast and accessible data analysis. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, Indianapolis, IN 800 742 2345 www.beckman.com Vibratory screeners Vibro-Energy round vibratory screeners separate solids from liquids or separate dry particles as fine as 400 mesh. Screeners accommodate as many as four decks to simultaneously sepa- rate material into five particle size fractions. Equipment requires no special flooring or foundation, conserving floor space. MX screener's (photo) eccentric weights located on the top and bottom of the motion-generator shaft are completely enclosed to prevent reach-in injuries. Enclosed motor's access doors allow the operator quick access to the force wheels for easy motion and force changes. Open-base construction facil- itates cleaning beneath the unit to prevent dirt and product buildup. Screens are durable and easy-to-change and come in sizes from 30 to 60 inches in diameter.
