PT-ODF Disintegration Basket Add-On for Orodispersible Films

Overview

The PT-ODF by Pharma Test is a specialized add-on for the PTZ AUTO EZ tablet disintegration testing instruments. It is designed to test the disintegration time of orodispersible films (ODFs), which are a modern dosage form included in the European Pharmacopoeia since 2012. This add-on addresses the need for a specific, reliable method to characterize the disintegration behavior of these films.

Key Features

1. Compatibility:
   • Can be used with any existing Pharma Test PTZ AUTO EZ instrument without modifications.
   • Attached directly to the PT-MKT electronic test baskets.
2. Testing Capacity:
   • Available in two configurations: PT-ODF6 for testing six samples per basket and PT-ODF3 for three larger samples per basket.
3. Simple Operation:
   • Films are held in place by clamps, and small weights are attached to them.
   • Once disintegration starts, the weights fall, hitting a split metal sieve, which closes an electrical circuit and logs the disintegration time.
4. Automated Detection:
   • The endpoint is detected automatically by the PTZ AUTO EZ instrument, ensuring accurate and consistent results.
5. Temperature Control:
   • Testing is performed in demineralized water maintained at 37 ± 0.5°C to simulate physiological conditions.
6. Robust and Reliable:
   • Provides a robust method to determine the disintegration time of orodispersible films, ensuring clear end-point detection and reliable results.

Advantages

• Cost-Effective Upgrade:
  • Low-cost upgrade from a standard PTZ AUTO EZ tablet disintegration testing instrument.
• Ease of Installation:
  • Can be easily installed and removed, making it convenient for laboratories with varying testing needs.
• Compliance:
  • Meets the latest pharmacopoeial standards for testing orodispersible films, ensuring regulatory compliance.

Technical Specifications

• Clamp Weight: 3g
• Testing Positions:
  • PT-ODF6: 6 samples per basket
  • PT-ODF3: 3 larger samples per basket

Applications

• Pharmaceutical Quality Control:
  • Essential for quality control of orodispersible films in pharmaceutical laboratories, ensuring that products meet disintegration specifications.
• Research and Development:
  • Useful in the development of new film-based formulations where disintegration time is a critical parameter.
