Automated tablet processing system for drug content analysis can be integrated with liquid chromatography (LC) systems and chromatographic data systems (CDS) for automated analysis of samples
Astech Projects launches the new Tablet-Pro, describing it as a revolutionary tablet processing system for drug content analysis.
Tablet-Pro's unique design gives it the ability to fully automate content uniformity testing and stability analysis, leading to higher throughput rates than ever before.
Anthony Moran, Astech's business development manager, explains: "Current industry expectations are one tablet every 30 minutes, creating backlogs in batch testing often accompanied by vessel size restrictions.
"Tablet-Pro offers a market-leading throughput, restricted only by the number of modules.
"Improved scalability allows users to specify the number of homogenisers, vessel size, and volumes for dissolution".
Astech believes it is renowned for its superiority in bespoke design and engineering quality and says the Tablet-Pro is no exception.
Long term reliability is conferred through robust, high spec robotics and design excellence, it says.
Together with dependable reliability, running costs are also reduced by a novel filtration system which removes the need for expensive consumables.
Tablet-Pro's advanced, easy-to-use software supports parallel processing functions for high throughput and is fully compliant with 21 CFR part 11 and good automated manufacturing practice (Gamp).
Every aspect and detail of Tablet-Pro has been designed to meet the individual needs of the user and key areas of the system to suit their requirements and budget, says the company.
Tablet-Pro's flexibility means it can be integrated with liquid chromatography (LC) systems and chromatographic data systems (CDS) for automated analysis of samples.
Tablet-Pro can also be further integrated with proprietary standalone tablet testing systems to provide complete automation.
The Tablet-Pro complements Astech's automated inhalation and regulatory respiratory technology, adding to the company's portfolio of highly automated drug delivery equipment.
