The OPT-DISS™ fibre-optic UV tablet dissolution tester

Fibre optic UV analysis of tablets in the testing vessel is the latest advance in Dissolution Testing and this new technique allows measurements to be made even in turbid solutions.

Making a series of UV measurements ‘in situ’ eliminates sampling errors and complicated media loss calculations usually required when some sample solution has been removed for analysis.  This is not the case for the OPT-DISS™ because the measurements are made in the sample vessel and the vessel need not be removed.

OPT-DISS™ measurements are made continuously, in real time, and data from up to 12 vessels can be collected in 5 seconds considerably shortening the analysis time, increasing the method’s accuracy and improving the profile analysis.

Due to the class leading sensitivity of the OPT-DISS™ detector the system can be used with ANY fibre optic probe using path lengths from 0.25mm to 50mm. This includes the unique, patented ARCH™ probe whose low volume design has a negligible affect on the hydrodynamics of the media in the dissolution vessel.

Features

• In-situ UV measurement
• Rapid spectra collection
• Universal interface
• 21 CFR Part II Compliance

Although the OPT-DISS™ is an ideal match for the DISTEK Tablet Dissolution systems it is compatible with a large number of other dissolution test systems. 21 CFR PART II compliance offers the level of confidence and security needed by modern pharmaceutical laboratories.

This system is only available in the UK from Omicron Research whose personnel have undergone extensive training in installation, support and compliance testing at Leaptec’s US headquarters.

Options :

• probe lengths from 0.25mm to 50mm
