PTWS 120D – USP/EP Tablet Dissolution Testing Instrument PTWS 120D – USP/EP Tablet Dissolution Testing Instrument The PTWS 120D is a 6 position, single drive compact tablet dissolution testing instrument for solid dosage forms as described in USP chapter <711/724> and EP section<2.9.3/4> as well as the BP, DAB and Japanese Pharmacopeia section <15>.Its design for manual operation and ease of use. User Interface In keeping with our cutting edge design, a large color, touch screen allows control of the various mechanical features of the instrument such as the tool stirring speed, lift drive and heater. The instrument control is menu driven using a resistive touch screen and selection wheel technology. Visual signals on the display inform the user of the status of critical instrument parameters, e.g. bath target temperature not reached. Access to the instrument can be password controlled if required. If certain operational parameters form a regular feature of the daily routine, then these can be Pharma Test Apparatebau AG Siemensstr. 5 63512 Hainburg/Germany PTAG_30-41000_PTWS_120D_V1.2E.Docx
