UDT Series Tablet Disintegration Tester Apparatus is the requisite instrument in testing whether tablets or capsules disintegrate within a defined period of time when placed in a liquid medium. All of our lab instruments are designed and manufactured in accordance with USP Disintegration Specifications <701> and as optional <2040>. Our UDT Disintegration Tester comes with 1 to 3 individually-controlled test stations with their own keypad so required run time can easily be set for each.
Disintegration testers are used to test how a formulation in
tablets or capsules will completely disintegrate in solution.
Like dissolution testers, they permit researchers to analyze
the in vitro breakdown of powdered compounds for quality
control purposes.
To begin the test, tablets are
placed in the disintegration tester baskets. Each basket,
having mesh bottoms, is slowly moved up and down in a water
bath at 37 °C. The time taken for the tablets or capsules to
disintegrate is noted. Alternatively, disintegration testers
can be used for pass/fail tests to see if the tablet will
dissolve, if at all.
Details on approved test methods and official monographs can
be found in the European or US Pharmacopoeias.
