The SDi2 is a unique UV and visible light imaging tool which allows scientists to observe precisely what is happening at the solid-liquid interface during the dissolution process, gaining a greater understanding of how their products behave during dissolution. It enables the accurate measurement of intrinsic dissolution and release rates alongside monitoring the swelling, erosion and disintegration processes for a wide range of whole dosage forms.
Ideal for use from pre-formulation through to CMC and final dosage form selection, the SDi2 uses a powerful 4.2 megapixel ActiPixTM detector to capture both ultra-violet and visible light recordings of the dissolution process, as it happens. The SDi2 generates high-resolution 2-D videos that uncover how these dynamic processes take place in real time. The SDi2 combines a fully-integrated fluidics system with a choice of small scale or whole dosage form flow cells. This allows researchers to study a wide range of sample types across the drug development timeline.
SDI2 gives scientists the ability to...
Real-time UV and visible light intensities are captured by the built-in Actipix™ detector providing a detailed, spatial view of the dissolution process directly at the solid-solution interface; a view that is unattainable with conventional dissolution methods. The dual wavelength capability allows for the measurement of drug concentration and monitoring of the physical processes in a single ex-periment.
While all the imaging area is available for data processing, the most commonly used measurements and calculations are applied to the data by default for ease of use.
The small scale and whole dosage flow cells can be quickly and conveniently exchanged, making the system suitable for a wide range of pharmaceutical development applications.
Dissolution media can be automatically changed at a pre-defined time during any experiment, for example, from gastric to intestinal pH media. Built-in flushing and cleaning procedures make for ease of use and help avoid cross contamination in the flow through set-up.
