Manual dissolution tester SDT-L

for the pharmaceutical industryfor tabletsfor capsules

Overview
The SDT-L Manual is a compact comparative dissolution tester designed for GMP bioequivalence studies. It supports comparative testing of up to 14 vessels (configurations: 12+2 or 14 stirred positions) and is intended for manual operation in quality control, formulation development and bioequivalence/biowaiver studies. The tester prioritizes comparability, compliance, visibility and simple operation.

Key Benefits

• Comparability – identical test conditions across all positions for direct product comparison.
• Compliance – self-centering vessels, quick-lock system and fixed shaft height to support pharmacopeial requirements.
• Dual testing – simultaneous comparative testing of generic and innovator formulations.
• 100% visibility – unobstructed view of all vessels for clear observation and sampling.
• Easy operation – intuitive EasyTouch™ interface with pre-programmed methods and guided procedures.

Highlights & Features

• Comparative testing: capacity for up to 14 vessels enabling two tests simultaneously for accurate, reliable and reproducible results.
• Benchspace & visibility: oval bath design minimizes bench footprint while providing full visibility; optional CenterView™ per-vessel video monitoring documents dissolution for advanced analysis.
• AutoCompliance™: engineered for compliance with low wobble and low evaporation; includes self-centering vessels, quick-lock and fixed shaft height.
• Maximum flexibility: supports USP apparatus 1/2/5/6 and multiple vessel styles; available in 12+2 or 14 stirred positions to test various formulations and dosage forms (tablets, capsules).
• Staggered start & operation: EasyTouch™ guided methods, countdowns, audible alarms and menu-driven staggered start and sampling to simplify manual testing.

Applications
The SDT-L Manual is suited for GMP bioequivalence and biowaiver studies, formulation development and routine comparative dissolution testing of tablets, capsules and other dosage forms requiring USP apparatus 1/2/5/6.
