FAQs of Disintegration Testing Machine:
Q: How does the disintegration testing process work with this machine?
A: The process involves placing tablets in the detachable baskets immersed in beakers filled with water, then initiating the digital timer. The baskets move up and down at a consistent speed, simulating in vivo disintegration. Once the pre-set timer elapses, the machine automatically stops, and results can be recorded.
Q: What are the benefits of using a dual-basket, microprocessor-controlled disintegration tester?
A: Dual-basket functionality enables simultaneous testing of two samples, enhancing lab productivity. The microprocessor control ensures consistent test parameters, precise timing, and repeatable results, thus improving reliability and compliance with pharmacopeia standards.
Q: When should disintegration testing be performed in pharmaceutical production?
A: Disintegration tests are crucial during formulation development, routine batch release, and stability studies to ensure each batch of tablets or capsules meets quality benchmarks specified by IP, USP, and BP standards.
Q: Where can the DTM-2 Disintegration Testing Machine be used?
A: This equipment is designed for use in pharmaceutical quality control laboratories, research and development departments, and production facilities requiring accurate tablet disintegration measurements.
Q: What is the temperature control range and its accuracy?
A: The digital temperature controller enables water bath heating from ambient up to 45C, maintaining temperature accuracy within 0.2C, which is essential for reproducible results in tablet disintegration tests.
Q: How does the digital timer enhance the testing process?
A: The digital pre-settable timer allows users to program test duration up to 999 minutes, with automatic stop functionality and alarm notification, ensuring consistent procedure timing and minimizing operator intervention.
Q: What accessories and features come standard with this model?
A: Each unit is supplied with standard disintegration baskets, 1000 ml beakers, a heater, manual, and includes features like detachable basket assembly, auto stop, digital controls, and robust construction for dependable lab use.
