Tablet Dissolution Test Apparatus DS 8000+ with Piston Pump
DISSOLUTION TEST APPARATUS
Dissolution Tests are conducted to determine the drug release patterns, physiological availability and bioavailability of for mulated drug products. It is also used as a quality control tool. The Dissolution rate of a drug from the solid state is defined as the amount of drug substance that goes into solution per unit time under standardised conditions of liquid / solid inter face, temperature, and solvent composition.
LABINDIA brings to you the State-of-the-art Dissolution Testing Apparatus in elegant design with advanced features, which supports USP 1, 2, 5 & 6. Apparatus for Intrinsic test & stationary basket methods are available.

STANDARD FEATURES
• Advanced, Micro-Controller based: User-friendly, complies with current USP , IP & EP specifications.
• Splash waterproof keyboard: Alphanumeric polyester soft keys for keyboard.
• Moulded water bath with 6+2 (3+1 & 3+1) vessel configuration enables comparative studies.
• External vibration free Water Circulator: for uniform water circulation, with audible, low water level alarm, with indication on
display for safety.
• Mono shaft design with automatic adjustment for 25 mm depth setting with easy changeover between Apparatus I & II
eliminates routine height validation as per USP.
• Paddles, Baskets and Vessels are laser marked with serial numbers for traceability.
• Tablet dispenser - drops 6 dosage form at single instance.
• Low Evaporation Lids:
» The conical shape low evaporation recover y lids reduces media loss during long run.
» Integrated pre-centered lids; no manual removal or positioning of lids. This ensures automatic vessel centering and precise positioning
of paddle/basket with shaft without any special tool as per pharmacopeia requirements.
• State-of-the-art design:
» Easy placement and locking of vessels, the Ease-align system allows the vessels to simply slide into the place (Bionet Locking).
Once placed, vessels do not float even when empty.
» Facility to monitor Vessel temp., with DTS Technology (Digital Temperature Sensor)
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE:
+ • DS 8000 meets all requirements relating to validation, qualification and calibration.
• Appropriate qualification documents (I.Q. / O.Q.) can be supplied with the instrument.
INTELLIGENT SAMPLING SYSTEM
• Automated sampling as per USP Specifications. Sampling tubes are lowered in the media only at the time of sampling and withdrawn
immediately after sampling, thus no par t of the assembly contributes motion, agitation or vibration.
• Sampling tubes are accurately moved to the USP sampling position i.e. a zone mid way between the sur face of media and the top of
paddle/basket parameters, not less than 1 cm from the vessels wall as selected in the method.
• 6 vessels temperature monitoring system automatically measures and records the temperature of individual vessel at specified sample
points.
PUMP SYSTEM - PP 08
• Piston Pump - PP 08 is Microprocessor controlled and is ideal for sample withdrawal from 6 channels
• The Piston Pump - PP 08 with incert ceramic rotor overcomes all absorption issues
• High flow rates of 25 ml / min can be achieved with accuracy better than ±5%
• Rinse function for reducing carryover issues
• Surfactant Media Compatibility.
SAMPLE COLLECTION
• 10 X 6 or 16 X 6 sets of samples can be collected. For more sampling interval, 24 X 6 collection trays are available.
• Option of 1.5ml & 2ml HPLC vial tray is available.
• Over Head Design for electronic safety and fail safe operation
• Sensor to locate proper position of tray with alar m facility for collection of sample
• Wide mouth vial to minimise SLS spillover problem due to foaming characteristics
• Easy positioning with respect to vials or test tube tray for easy Changeover
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
• Built-in Validation software.
• Facility to RINSE the entire sampling path in between sampling time-point to eliminate contamination & carryover
• Specially developed cleaning system to clean the entire sampling path after each run.
• Facilities to perform the dissolution test using two buffers (Buffer changing) to cater the application of enteric coating tablets.
• Recovery Test facility to study 100% Drug Dissolution.
• Split & on-time interval
