Disintegration Tester

A Disintegration Tester is a specialized analytical instrument designed to measure how quickly solid dosage forms such as tablets or capsules break down into smaller particles under specific conditions .It provides standardized, repeatable, and time-based results, making them essential for pharmaceutical quality control, regulatory testing, and formulation development.

How it works ?

The device works by placing samples in a basket rack assembly immersed in a temperature-controlled liquid bath. The system gently moves the samples up and down, simulating physiological conditions. The time it takes for each tablet or capsule to completely disintegrate is recorded, helping ensure the product dissolves properly once ingested.

Disintegration testing is widely used to evaluate a variety of dosage forms, including:

• Immediate-release tablets and capsules
• Coated and uncoated tablets
• Fast-dissolving and orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs)
• Nutraceutical and herbal supplements
• Generic drugs (for equivalency studies)
• R&D and stability batch testing
