PT-ODF

PT-ODF Disintegration Basket Add-On to Test Orodispersible Films

 

The PT-ODF by Pharma Test is a specialized add-on for the PTZ AUTO EZ tablet disintegration testing instruments. It is designed to test the disintegration time of orodispersible films (ODFs), which are a modern dosage form included in the European Pharmacopoeia since 2012. This add-on addresses the need for a specific, reliable method to characterize the disintegration behavior of these films.

Key Features

1. Compatibility:

• Can be used with any existing Pharma Test PTZ AUTO EZ instrument without modifications.
• Attached directly to the PT-MKT electronic test baskets.

2. Testing Capacity:

• Available in two configurations: PT-ODF6 for testing six samples per basket and PT-ODF3 for three larger samples per basket.

3. Simple Operation:

• Films are held in place by clamps, and small weights are attached to them.
• Once disintegration starts, the weights fall, hitting a split metal sieve, which closes an electrical circuit and logs the disintegration time.

4. Automated Detection:

• The endpoint is detected automatically by the PTZ AUTO EZ instrument, ensuring accurate and consistent results.

5. Temperature Control:

• Testing is performed in demineralized water maintained at 37 ± 0.5°C to simulate physiological conditions.

6. Robust and Reliable:

• Provides a robust method to determine the disintegration time of orodispersible films, ensuring clear end-point detection and reliable results.

Advantages

– Cost-Effective Upgrade:
• Low-cost upgrade from a standard PTZ AUTO EZ tablet disintegration testing instrument.

– Ease of Installation:
• Can be easily installed and removed, making it convenient for laboratories with varying testing needs.

– Compliance:
• Meets the latest pharmacopoeial standards for testing orodispersible films, ensuring regulatory compliance.

Technical Specifications

– Clamp Weight: 3g
– Testing Positions:
• PT-ODF6: 6 samples per basket
• PT-ODF3: 3 larger samples per basket

Applications

– Pharmaceutical Quality Control:
• Essential for quality control of orodispersible films in pharmaceutical laboratories, ensuring that products meet disintegration specifications.

– Research and Development:
• Useful in the development of new film-based formulations where disintegration time is a critical parameter.
