Precise Double Drum OperationThe double drum feature enables simultaneous testing of two sets of samples, enhancing laboratory efficiency. Each drum is constructed from transparent acrylic, allowing for clear observation throughout the test cycle. The automatic operation ensures uniform rotational speed, accuracy up to one revolution, and minimizes manual interventions during experiments.
Advanced Microprocessor ControlEquipped with a microprocessor-based control unit, the LT 710 Friability Apparatus offers advanced programmability with countdown timers, revolution presets, and memory functions. Its intuitive keypad and digital display simplify parameter entry and monitoring, while maintaining test accuracy and reproducibility across trials.
Comprehensive Compliance and SafetyDesigned to meet international pharmacopeial standards (IP/USP/BP), the apparatus assures reliable and standardized results. Features like audio-visual alarms, error indications, and automatic cycle termination ensure operator safety and safeguard tested samples. The robust construction and precise controls make it suitable for regulated pharmaceutical environments.
FAQ's of Labtroniks Microprocessor Friability Apparatus (Double Drum):
Q: How do I operate the Labtroniks Microprocessor Friability Apparatus for a test cycle?
A: To conduct a test, place the tablets into both acrylic drums, set the desired timer or revolution count on the digital keypad, and select either auto or manual mode. Press start; the apparatus rotates the drums at a fixed 25 rpm, with progress shown on the display. An audio-visual alarm signals the completion of the cycle and the device auto-stops.
Q: What is the benefit of the double drum design in this friability apparatus?
A: The double drum configuration allows you to test two batches of tablets simultaneously. This not only increases throughput but also provides comparative analysis and improves workflow efficiency in laboratory environments.
Q: When should I use the memory function of the apparatus?
A: Utilize the memory function if you routinely perform tests with the same parameters. The apparatus automatically retains the last set value, enabling a quick restart for repetitive testing without re-entering parameters each time.
Q: Where can I use the LT 710 friability apparatus?
A: The LT 710 is designed for laboratory use, primarily in pharmaceutical quality control and research settings. Its compliance with IP/USP/BP makes it suitable for regulated environments that require standardized friability testing.
Q: What is the process for determining the tablet friability with this instrument?
A: Load the required number of pre-weighed tablets into the drum(s), input the test parameters, and start the apparatus. After the cycle completes and alarms sound, retrieve and reweigh the tablets to calculate percentage weight loss, indicating friability.
Q: How does the apparatus ensure measurement accuracy and safety during operation?
A: It maintains rotation accuracy within 1 revolution and provides preset limits for time and revolutions to prevent overexposure. Safety is reinforced by audio-visual alarms, error indications, and an automatic stop at cycle completion.
