Temperature tester DT50

disintegrationfor the pharmaceutical industryautomatic

Overview
The bathless DT50 sets new standards in fast and user-friendly operation. Induction heating technology reduces heating times to only 3 - 5 minutes and eliminates unproductive cleaning tasks. Proven automatic end-point detection replaces visual monitoring by the operator. Permanent medium temperature monitoring and automatic test start at target temperature ensure consistent and reproducible test conditions.

Benefits

• BATHLESS - Extremely short heating times with patented induction heating technology
• TEMPERATURE - Permanent temperature monitoring without any delay at test start
• TEST START - Automated test start when target temperature has been reached
• DETECTION - 100% automatic end-point detection when tablets are disintegrated
• PROTOCOL - Record and protocol disintegration times of individual tablets automatically
• BASKETS - Basket type and serial number are automatically recognized & protocolled
• MODULAR - Flexibly add stations to your testing system as capacities increase
• RESIDUAL HEIGHT - Individually programmable for capsules and other dosage forms

User-friendly operation
The DT50 is controlled via an intuitive and clearly structured color touch screen. Different testing modes allow efficient routine testing using pre-programmed products or performing direct tests without programming. Different access levels ensure that settings or product specifications can only be modified by authorized personnel.

Easy handling
From test setup to cleaning the DT50 is designed for fast and ergonomic handling. Wireless baskets with self-centering magnetic coupling can be exchanged within seconds. Upon completion of a test a report with recorded disintegration times per tablet, statistics and temperature protocol is automatically produced.

Temperature control
Fast bathless induction heating reduces waiting times and ensures homogeneous temperature distribution inside the beaker. Medium temperature is permanently monitored and continuous temperature readings are taken for reporting purposes.

Scalable modularity
Extend the DT50 to a disintegration system with up to two independent stations plus one MediaPrep station. System layout remains flexible and can be changed if needed. Individual modules connect easily and additional stations can be retrofitted anytime.

Simply programmable
Residual heights for capsules and dosage forms that do not dissolve completely can be programmed individually. Electromagnetic detection technology automatically determines remaining dosage height at every upward stroke.

Data management
The DT50 can be integrated with q-doc® data management software. Each station is controlled individually or multiple stations are combined in one test run. All results are automatically recorded in a central SQL database and can be evaluated in full compliance with 21 CFR part 11 requirements.
