New line of dissolution testers offers pharmaceutical customers increased automation and flexibility with reliable results
CSP, exclusive UK agent for VanKel dissolution systems, announces the UK launch of the innovative V-Series line of dissolution testers.
The latest addition to VanKel's extensive range of equipment, V-Series offers pharmaceutical customers increased automation and flexibility while delivering reliable results in an efficient, productive and cost-effective manner.
The shape of the V-Series testers is a radical move away from traditional designs.
It allows full operator visibility and easy access to improve test scope and validity without compromising valuable and expensive bench space.
"The unique V-shape layout places vessels within easy view of the user", says Greg Dowds, product manager at CSP.
"Any unusual occurrences, such as dissolved gases covering the surface or dosage form floatation is readily detected.
This latest design also enhances the bioavailability testing process.
Together with a range of options, design modifications simplify set up and automate several steps in the process, making testing simpler and more convenient, without impairing the measurement of critical results." The V-Series models feature an alpha-numeric keyboard, digital communication and programmability.
The TruCenter vessel alignment system eliminates the necessity to adjust and check the centering of a vessel, which is critical in capturing accurate test results.
The standard VK 7020 model is easily programmed to meet the sampling time requirements as the user may automate various methods.
Independent motorised control of each sampling cannula allows either individual sampling probes to be lowered when sampling sequentially or all of the probes during simultaneous sample withdrawal.
AutoTemp measures and records the temperature in each vessel at programmed times, assuring that the temperature doesn't fluctuate during the test period.
Electric Clutch allows each spindle to start rotating at a programmed time, allowing automated runs that meet the USP requirements that dictate that tablets are dropped into non-stirred media.
Dosage Dropping Capability will also automatically drop tablets into vessels, either simultaneously or sequentially, eliminating the errors that manual tablet dropping may introduce.
