Copley offers a number of systems and options for the assessment of the disintegration properties of suppository formulations.
Designed in accordance with the specifications laid down in Ph. Eur. Test 2.9.2, the SDT 1000 is a single unit tester, optimised for assessing the disintegration properties of suppositories and pessaries and with the appropriate attachment, for measuring the softening time of lipophilic suppositories (as per Ph. Eur. 2.9.22.-2).
The SDT 1000 has a simple design, which uses manual inversion controlled using a water-resistant pulley system. Suppository test parameters including water bath temperature and stirrer speed are easily set using the touch key interfaces.
