PT-ODF
PT-ODF Disintegration Basket Add-On to Test Orodispersible Films
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.
