Vertical diffusion tester HDT 1000

assessmentfor the pharmaceutical industrybenchtop

Copley offers the HDT Series designed for the assessment of drug release from semisolid formulations. The range includes innovative dry-heat systems and the more traditional water-jacketed heating systems. With a precision dry heating system and integrated powerful magnetic stirrers, the compact HDT 1000 vertical diffusion cell tester from Copley has become the benchmark system for many labs. Using an innovative heating block approach, the HDT 1000 eradicates the difficulties and the “spaghetti” of tubing associated with water-jacketed cell diffusion systems and accommodates either endpoint or discrete manual sampling techniques. A dedicated stirrer mounted beneath each station ensures thorough mixing throughout testing for accurate sampling. Pharmacopoeial Compliance: USP Cell Capacity: Up to 10 vertical diffusion cells Cell Types Supported: B, C and Skin Heating System: Dry heating block Sampling Technique Compatibility: Endpoint, Discrete, Fully automatic Unit Dimensions (w x d x h): 80 x 325 x 145 mm Highlights USP Compliant Innovative dry heat system removes hassle and ‘spaghetti’ of tubing associated with water-based heating system Precision control over all test parameters Novel cell clamps simplify cell preparation Powerful magnetic stirrers ensure consistent mixing during testing HDT unit footprint is smaller than an A4 piece of paper Immersion Cell An alternative to the Vertical Diffusion or Franz Cell for testing semisolids, the Immersion Cell (USP Model A) is described with the conventional USP Apparatus 2 for Dissolution testing.
