Disintegration Tester ALH 101+

Precision Tablet Disintegration Testing System for IP/USP-Compliant Analysis

Althea Solutions introduces the Disintegration Tester ALH 101+, a solid-state instrument designed for the accurate estimation of disintegration time of tablets as per IP/USP specifications. Specifically developed for pharmaceutical laboratories, the ALH 101+ is designed to test two batches of six tablets simultaneously, providing an efficient solution for routine tablet disintegration testing and laboratory quality-control applications.

Featuring two basket assemblies with a single high-torque AC motor, the ALH 101+ provides controlled basket movement according to IP/USP specifications. The instrument incorporates a single-channel temperature system with sensors to monitor the test temperature of the water bath and beakers, maintaining temperature accuracy of ±0.3°C. Two 1000 mL beakers are provided within a sturdy acrylic water bath, while the integrated heater arrangement allows the user to clean the water bath conveniently.

The ALH 101+ combines a 5-inch high-resolution touchscreen, programmable test operation, internal memory for up to 100 test results, password protection, user management, PC connectivity, and printer connectivity. Test samples can be stored in memory under different batch and product names, while the controlled basket movement, USP Type A configuration, magnetic water-bath circulation, and integrated calibration facility provide convenient and controlled operation for pharmaceutical laboratory testing.

Description

Key Features

IP/USP-Compliant Operation

Designed for accurate estimation of tablet disintegration time as per IP/USP specifications, with controlled basket movement and USP Type A test configuration.

Simultaneous Batch Testing

Two basket assemblies with 6 test positions each enable testing of two batches of six tablets simultaneously, improving laboratory testing efficiency.

Precision Temperature & Movement Control

Single-channel temperature monitoring maintains water-bath temperature accuracy of ±0.3°C, while basket movement is controlled at 30 ± 1 DPM with a 55 ± 1 mm stroke length.

User-Friendly Touchscreen Operation

A 5-inch high-resolution touchscreen provides convenient operation and programming, with programmable test time up to 99:59 (HH:MM) and audio-visual indicators for system status.

Integrated Data Management & Security

Internal memory stores up to 100 test results, with samples stored according to batch and product name. Three-level password protection and provision for 1 Admin and 10 Users support controlled laboratory operation.

Integrated Water-Bath & Connectivity System

Two 1000 mL beakers, temperature sensors, magnetic water-bath circulation, and a 400 W heater provide controlled test conditions, while PC and serial printer connectivity support external data handling and reporting.

Additional Technical Highlights

Dual Basket Assembly

Two basket assemblies with six test positions each allow simultaneous testing of two batches of six tablets.

High-Torque AC Motor

A single high-torque AC motor provides controlled up-and-down movement of the basket assemblies during the test.

Temperature Monitoring System

The single-channel temperature system uses sensors to monitor the test temperature of the water bath and beakers, with water-bath temperature accuracy maintained at ±0.3°C.

Water Bath & Beakers

Two 1000 ml beakers are provided with arrangements for temperature-sensor placement within the sturdy acrylic water bath.

USP Type A Test Configuration

The baskets incorporate 10 mesh test positions, while each basket is provided with six USP Type A fluted discs.

Controlled Basket Movement

The basket operates at a dip speed of 30 ± 1 DPM with a stroke length of 55 ± 1 mm, providing controlled movement during the test.

Integrated Heating

The 400 W heater is assembled inside the instrument, allowing convenient heating of the water bath and easier cleaning.

Magnetic Water Circulation
