Omicron Research launches dissolution testing system
US-based company Omicron Research has launched its latest advancement in dissolution testing.
US-based company Omicron Research has launched its latest advancement in dissolution testing.
The OPT DISS Fibre Optic UV Dissolution Testing system, takes analysis directly into the vessel where dissolution occurs and eliminates the need for sample removal. Using fibre optics is claimed to bring improved precision and accuracy of test measurements, while eliminating sampling errors and the requirement for complicated media loss calculations.
The system, although originally developed for DISTEK baths, is suited for use with most standard dissolution systems performing formulations development, quality control, and process monitoring tests.
Unique G2 ARCH Probe Design provides full light transmittance across a horizontal path length without the need for mirrors or prisms.
Low Disturbance Arch Probes contribute negligible hydrodynamic effects during a dissolution test, thus eliminating the need for a sampling manifold
Rapid Spectra Collection simultaneously collects the entire spectral from up to 12 vessels in a minimum of five -second intervals, increasing accuracy and improving profile analysis.
Due to the 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 ARCH probe whose low volume design has a negligible affect on the hydrodynamics of the media in the dissolution vessel.
OPT DISS is only available in Europe.
