The fully automated PTZ AUTO EZ instruments are available as single, double, triple and four station models. The instruments automatically detect the individual disintegration times of tablets and other solid dosage forms. Each automated disintegration basket can be operated independently and includes a temperature sensor. They are equipped in full compliance with the USP<701/2040> and EP<2.9.1/2.9.1.2> pharmacopoeia requirements.

Advantages:
>> Fully automated detection of individual disintegration end point times
>> Select from models with 1, 2, 3 or 4 stations to ideally meet your workload
>> Independent movement of all test stations
>> Automated lift to raise samples out of the medium at the end of a test
>> Integrated method management system
>> Excellent access to all vessels
>> DQ/QC, IQ and OQ documents included free of charge

PTZ 100 is a single station tablet disintegration test instrument. PTZ 300 is the triple station version. Both instruments are manufactured in compliance to the USP <701/2040>, EP <2.9.1/2.9.2.1> and JP Pharmacopoeias. The instruments feature a method and user management system as well as an integrated report printer.

Advantages:
>> Graphical LCD screen showing actual and target settings
>> Integrated protocol printer reduces bench space requirements
>> Result report includes disintegration time, actual temperature and number of persisting samples
>> Password protected access through user management system
>> Programmable qualification interval timer reminds the user to perform instrument calibration
>> Dedicated calibration programs and reports
>> Copy methods between instruments by using a common USB flash drive
>> Export test reports as text files
>> Transmit test result to external systems such as LIMS
>> IQ/OQ documents included free of charge

The PTZ-S is a manual tablet disintegration testing instrument, manufactured according to the recent USP <701/2040>, EP <2.9.1/2.9.1.2>, JP and other pharmacopoeias. The PTZ-S is used for the manual testing of disintegration times of tablets, capsules and other solid dosage forms.

Advantages:
>> LED display informing of running time and firmware version
>> Totally silent operation of the stroke mechanism
>> Pre-programmable maximum disintegration time with Auto-Stop function
>> Vibration free movement, stroke height set to 55 mm at 30 strokes/min
>> Disintegration basket always stops at highest point
>> Built-in heating system includes overheating protection
>> Small footprint: approx. 42 x 26 x 42cm (width x depth x height)

The DIST-3 is a three-basket manual tablet disintegration testing instrument,
manufactured according to the recent USP <701/2040>, EP <2.9.1/2.9.1.2>, JP and other pharmacopoeias. The DIST-3 is used for the manual testing of disintegration times of tablets, capsules and other solid dosage forms.

Advantages:
>> LED display informing of running time and firmware version
>> Totally silent operation of the stroke mechanism
>> Pre-programmable maximum disintegration time with Auto-Stop function
>> Vibration free movement, stroke height set to 55 mm at 30 strokes/min
>> Disintegration basket always stops at highest point
>> Built-in heating system includes overheating protection

Orodispersible films (ODF) are a novel dosage form. Since 2012, they are monographed in European Pharmacopoeia (Ph.Eur. 7.4). Despite the fact that there are several film products available on the market, there has been no specific test method defined to characterize this dosage form.
The PT-ODF test basket for the PTZ AUTO EZ tablet disintegration testing instruments closes this gap by offering a simple and affordable device to reliably test the disintegration times of films. The PT-ODF basket can be used with any existing Pharma Test PTZ AUTO EZ instrument without any need for modification. It is attached directly to the PT-MKT electronic test baskets. A three position version for larger films is available as well. This requires a three position PT-MKT33 basket to use. The films are held in place by clamps.

Advantages:
>> A robust method to determine disintegration time of orodispersible films
>> Simple add-on system makes this a low cost upgrade from a standard PTZ AUTO EZ tablet disintegration testing instrument
>> PT-ODF basket add-on can be installed and removed easily and quickly
