In vitro chewing gum release tester
Ensure precise analysis of active ingredient release from masticated dosage forms with cutting-edge testing technology designed to simulate real-life chewing conditions.
The Chewing Gum Tester DRT by ERWEKA is a sophisticated apparatus designed for precise analysis of ingredient release from masticated products such as chewing gums and snuff bags. It operates by simulating the human chewing process, with vertical jaw movements and rotational agitation to replicate natural mastication. This equipment is particularly beneficial for R&D labs and the pharmaceutical, confectionery, and biotech industries, where accurate dissolution rate testing is essential for product development.
Capable of accommodating up to six test stations simultaneously, the DRT allows for increased testing throughput and flexibility in research settings. The device features a temperature-controlled water bath, adjustable from 25 to 45°C, ensuring consistent test conditions. The modular design provides easy integration with existing lab setups, and the durable construction involves acid-proof stainless steel for enhanced corrosion resistance.
Customization options include accessories for measuring pressure, shear force, and pH levels during testing, with all data logged for comprehensive analysis. The DRT supports manual and modular operation, offering straightforward cleaning and maintenance due to its easily removable components. Meeting various industry standards, it is an efficient solution for companies seeking precise, reliable testing of their masticated dosage forms.
