RRT 10 BioDis: a versatile and high-performance dissolution tester
Erweka's BioDis RRT 10 is a sophisticated device that revolutionises dissolution testing for sustained- and extended-release dosage forms. Designed to be fully compliant with USP, EP and JP standards, it allows testing according to USP 3 and USP 7 methods, with the option of easily switching between the two thanks to a combined configuration. This system is ideal for reproducing the pH variations encountered in the human digestive tract by placing different media in each row and ensuring automatic transport of samples between rows. This guarantees reliable simulation of in vivo conditions and allows accurate evaluation of the behaviour of dosage forms in different physiological environments.
The RRT 10 features a portable 6.5-inch touchscreen that simplifies test programming and management. This intuitive device offers secure password access, a large memory capacity for storing up to 100 methods, media and products, and the ability to easily document the last ten test protocols. This interface, combined with an integrated calibration system, ensures safe use and high accuracy of results.
Erweka's external circulation heating system guarantees a constant temperature between 30°C and 50°C with an accuracy of 0.02°C, while minimising vibrations that could affect measurements. The vessels are placed in a 30-litre transparent acrylic glass water bath with a drain valve for easy cleaning. In addition, the automatic lid significantly reduces evaporation of the dissolution media, optimising the reliability of tests over long periods.
The RRT 10 is available in several configurations: USP 3, USP 7, or a combined version that allows easy switching between the two methods. It is compatible with different types and volumes of vessels (50 ml, 100 ml, 300 ml standard and 1000 ml) and offers a wide range of tools to adapt to specific formulations, including reciprocating cylinders, spring supports and dissolution discs.
Thanks to its modular design and numerous features, the BioDis RRT 10 is a complete solution for pharmaceutical laboratories that want to produce detailed and reliable dissolution profiles, while benefiting from ease of use and exceptional flexibility for different types of tests.
