DIST-3 Disintegration Tester by Pharma Test

Overview

The DIST-3 is a manual three-station disintegration tester from Pharma Test, designed for precise and reliable testing of the disintegration time of tablets, capsules, and other solid dosage forms. It adheres to the latest USP, EP, and JP pharmacopoeia standards, making it suitable for quality control in pharmaceutical laboratories.

Key Features

1. Three-Station Design:
   • Allows simultaneous testing of up to three samples, increasing throughput and efficiency in the laboratory.
2. Digital LED Display:
   • An illuminated display shows the elapsed testing time and firmware version, providing clear and accessible information during tests.
3. Smooth Operation:
   • Powered by a silent 24V DC motor that ensures smooth movement of the disintegration baskets. The baskets move up and down over a 55 mm distance at a rate of 30 strokes per minute.
4. Automatic Stroke Rate Adjustment:
   • Every two seconds, the stroke rate is automatically re-adjusted, ensuring consistent and precise disintegration testing.
5. Temperature Control:
   • The system allows for temperature adjustments within the range of 30 to 45°C, ensuring the dissolution medium is maintained at the correct temperature.
6. Compliance and Certification:
   • Fully compliant with USP, EP, and JP standards.
   • The system includes GMP-compliant stainless steel housing and comes with necessary CE and EMC certifications.
7. Basket Configuration:
   • The disintegration baskets, which hold the glass tubes and discs, are placed into a stainless steel holder and can be smoothly moved into the testing medium.
8. User-Friendly Operation:
   • The test can be automatically stopped once the preset time has expired or manually aborted by the operator if all samples have disintegrated.
   • Baskets always stop at their highest mechanical position, allowing for easy sample handling and inspection.
