Bathless disintegration apparatus for tablet and capsule testing

Achieve rapid and precise disintegration testing of tablets and capsules with advanced bathless technology, minimizing downtime and ensuring consistent results for quality control and R&D applications.

Performs Rapid Disintegration Testing for Pharmaceuticals

The DT50 Bathless Disintegration Unit from SOTAX embodies innovative technology designed for precise disintegration testing in pharmaceutical and biotech labs. This unit employs patented induction heating technology, significantly reducing heating times to 3-5 minutes, and eliminating labor-intensive cleaning tasks. With automatic end-point detection, it guarantees reliable monitoring, making visual oversight unnecessary. Perfectly suited for various applications such as aspirin tablets, gelatin capsules, and medical device coatings, the DT50 ensures efficient testing with precise control. Its scalability and modular design allow integration with up to two independent stations and a MediaPrep station. The intuitive color touch screen and wireless basket systems facilitate ergonomic and fast handling. Additionally, the DT50 is equipped with q-doc® data management software integration, ensuring compliance with 21 CFR Part 11 for secure data handling. This versatile unit is an ideal fit for pharmaceutical manufacturers and research facilities focused on high-throughput, precise disintegration testing.
