Product Overview
The Labtronics LT-731 Microprocessor Disintegration Test Apparatus (2 Basket) is expertly designed for pharmaceutical laboratories requiring precise, compliant, and repeatable disintegration testing. It plays a critical role in quality control (QC) and formulation development, enabling labs to accurately determine how quickly tablets and capsules break down under simulated physiological conditions.
With a dual-basket configuration, the LT-731 boosts operational efficiency by allowing simultaneous testing of two samples or batches. This feature is particularly valuable for comparative studies or high-throughput testing environments. Each basket is built from durable pharmacopoeia-grade stainless steel mesh, ensuring regulatory compliance with USP, IP, and BP standards.
The microprocessor-controlled system maintains precise bath temperatures (37°C ± 0.5°C) throughout the test, using a sensitive temperature probe and automated heating mechanism. This accurate temperature control is vital for producing reliable and reproducible results, especially in GMP-regulated facilities.
An intuitive digital LCD interface gives real-time feedback on temperature, test duration, and apparatus status. Operators can pre-set test times with the programmable timer, while the auto-stop feature enhances accuracy by eliminating manual intervention and reducing the risk of user error.
The vertical movement of the basket assembly is engineered to mimic the natural peristaltic motion of the gastrointestinal tract, helping researchers predict in-vivo tablet behavior. This simulation allows formulation scientists to assess the bioavailability and therapeutic performance of oral dosage forms.
Designed with lab convenience in mind, the LT-731 features built-in memory, allowing quick recall of test parameters and past data—ideal for routine testing and batch comparison. The equipment’s compact size, minimal maintenance requirements, and corrosion-resistant parts make it a long-term asset for pharmaceutical labs.
Whether you’re involved in regulatory testing, production QA, or formulation R&D, the LT-731 ensures that tablets and capsules meet strict disintegration time requirements—vital for drug absorption and patient safety. This instrument supports pharmaceutical manufacturers in delivering high-quality, effective medications to the market.
