Basket accessories Dissolution accessories provides solutions for costumers all over the world. Whether it is about storing baskets, checking them against USP standards or attaching them to a basketshaft.

All Basket accessories

BASKET SHAFTS The rotating basket assembly is individually serialized with the serial number laser imprinted on the shaft for record keeping purposes. These assemblies meet USP specifications requiring three retention spring clips for Apparatus 1 or o-ring push-on style. Shafts are standard electropolished, but also avaialble with different types of coatings.

DISSOLUTION SINKERS
Floating dosage forms rarely dissolve at a reproducible rate. Using a sinker together with Apparatus 2 fixes the dosage form to a certain point and aids reproducibility. Sinkers can also be useful where dosage forms may stick to the sides of the vessel. Our sinkers can also be used in disintegration testing to prevent floating dosage forms.

DISINTEGRATION TESTING The current apparatus described in the Pharmacopoeias was designed to provide a reproducible and standardized method of ensuring that disintegration has taken place. Each of the tablets to be tested is placed in one of 6 vertical tubes arranged in a circular basket arrangement. The lower end of the tubes is covered by a sieve mesh. Other tubes sizes for larger tablets are also available.

DISSOGUARD SYSTEMS With a unique design and powerful software the dissoGUARD® is a dissolution surveillance system that will revolutionize the way you see the dissolution procedure. With cameras placed underneath a dissolution bath the user is not only able to see and store real time videos, export pictures or complete videos for future analyses. For the first time, the user is able to measure or predict different physical parameters of their dissolution apparatus. With different algorithms the software can evaluate the wobble and measure RPM, determine the proper center alignment of individual shafts, and much more. Through the various stages of dissolution procedure it is possible to evaluate the proper position of dosage forms, timing and position of sampling cannulas, behavior of particles in vessels, etc.

TAPPED DENSITY - USP Tapped density is achieved by mechanically tapping a volumetric cylinder containing a powder. The tapping is achieved by raising the cylinder and letting it drop under its own weight from a specific height. The mass increase is measured.

The Tapped Density Testers have been designed to measure the tapped density of powders, granules and similar products in accordance with USP Chapter <616> Method 2 and European Pharmacopoeia Chapter 2.9.15.

The “Paddle over Disk” is a modified version of Method 2 (Paddle Method) and is used for the determination of the drug release rate of transdermal patches. It is described in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) under Chapter <724> as Method 5 and in the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur.) under Chapter 2.9.4. Method 1 as ‘Disk Assembly Method’.

APPARATUS 6 - USP An alternative method for the testing of transdermal patches, USP Method 6 (Ph.Eur. Chapter 2.9.4. Method 3) employs the same dissolution equipment as Method 1 simply substituting a cylinder stirring element in place of the standard basket. The rotation speed normally employed is 100 rpm. The element is designed to accept various sizes of patches.

VERTICAL DIFFUSION CELL.

Creams, ointments, lotions and gels are topical drugs normally described as semisolid dosage forms. Unlike transdermal drug systems (see Note) which are applied to the skin for systemic effects (the drug penetrates the skin whereupon it is then absorbed into the blood stream), topical drugs are applied to the skin for local action principally to counter dermatological problems. Current USP thinking suggests two types of test to characterise semisolids, product quality tests (USP Chapter <3>) and product performance tests (the proposed USP Chapter <1724>).

The Vertical Diffusion Cell or Franz Cell is a simple, reproducible test for measuring the drug release from creams, ointments and gels. It is rapidly emerging as the apparatus of choice for the in vitro testing of drug release of topical semisolid dosage forms. The cell comprises two parts (a) the sample holder containing either 250 mg or 425 mg of the sample to be tested and (b) the reservoir of the diffusion cell itself containing the receptor medium. The two parts are separated by a membrane designed to act as a conduit for diffusion to take place and which serves to contain the test sample whilst ensuring that it remains in contact with the receptor medium. The receptor temperature is usually set to 32 degrees C to approximate normal skin conditions. Normally, no fewer than 6 samples are taken over a 6 hour period, say, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 hours and analysed using HPLC or similar analytical technique.
