Stable Micro Systems, has unveiled a new Tablet Disintegration Rig, which facilitates the reliable assessment of the mechanical properties of fast-melting tablets (FMTs). Attached to the company’s TA.XTplus texture analyser, the rig closely replicates the in vivo conditions of the human mouth, enabling manufacturers to examine water absorption and the disintegration of associated particles into individual components. This allows the determination of tablet disintegration time and behaviour, giving a valuable insight into performance and efficacy. The unique geometry of the rig allows the disintegration medium to access the tablet from all areas. The dry tablet sample is secured to a probe by a thin strip of double sided adhesive tape along its diameter. The probe’s surface has a ‘channelled’ design, allowing fluid to flow freely all round the tablet while ensuring contact is maintained with the probe.
