Advanced automated system solutions supplier Astech Projects has launched a new tablet processing system for drug content analysis.
The Tablet-Pro is able to fully automate content uniformity testing and stability analysis, leading to higher throughput rates.
Anthony Moran, Astech's sales & marketing director, said: "Current industry expectations are one tablet every 30 minutes, creating backlogs in batch testing, this is often accompanied by vessel size restrictions.
"Tablet-Pro offers a market-leading throughput restricted only by the number of modules. Improved scalability allows users to specify the number of homogenisers, vessel size and volumes for dissolution."
Long-term reliability is conferred through robust, high spec robotics and design excellence. Together with dependable reliability, running costs are also reduced by a novel filtration system, which removes the need for expensive consumables. Tablet-Pro's software supports parallel processing functions for high throughput and is fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 and Good Automated Manufacturing Practice (GAMP).
The Tablet-Pro's can be integrated with liquid chromatography (LC) systems and chromatographic data systems (CDS) for automated analysis of samples. It can be integrated with proprietary standalone tablet testing systems to provide a complete automated solution.
The Tablet -Pro complements Astech's automated inhalation and regulatory respiratory technology, adding to the company's portfolio of highly automated drug delivery equipment.
