We are pleased to announce the upcoming launch of its next-generation PTWS tablet dissolution testing instruments. They are available for order now and will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2026. Designed with a modern graphical user interface, advanced user management features, and a fully integrated audit trail, the new systems set a new benchmark in usability and compliance.
Three new models of tablet dissolution testing instruments are available to order now and will begin shipping in the first quarter of 2026:
Touch Screen Operation and User Management
The instruments are equipped with a wide 7-inch color touch screen, designed to enhance usability. The new user interface incorporates rich graphical elements, smooth animations, and clear explanatory texts to guide users through every function. The flexible user management system allows for the inclusion of an unlimited number of users, ensuring secure and customized access. Additionally, the system supports an unlimited number of test methods, providing adaptability for a wide range of laboratory needs.
Compliance and Audit Trail Features
The audit trail system records all events and changes within the instrument, providing a detailed account with both before and after information, fulfilling the regulatory requirements of 21 CFR Part 11. The audit trail can be filtered using criteria such as date & time, user, method and type of event.
Highly Responsive Touch Screen Operation
All instrument interactions are carried out via a capacitive touchscreen interface, engineered to remain highly responsive even when operated with laboratory gloves. This design not only enhances user convenience but also supports strict hygiene standards in laboratory environments.
Both PTWS 1230 and PTWS D630 instruments arrive fully configured and ready for immediate use. Each package includes a complete set of USP vessels, stirrer shafts, and USP apparatus 2 paddles, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards and facilitating efficient laboratory workflows. The instruments still use the Pharma Test MonoShaft design and support staggered stirrer start for manual operation.
PTWS 1230 is equipped with 12 testing positions, allowing for simultaneous dissolution testing across a large number of samples, for example in Biowaiver applications. Additionally, it features two smaller vessels designed to accommodate standard or blank solutions, enhancing the versatility of the instrument in various laboratory scenarios.
PTWS D630 stands out with its innovative dual drive system, offering independent stirrer speed control for both the front and back rows of stirrers and tool sets. This feature provides greater flexibility in test setups and ensures precise dissolution conditions tailored to specific sample requirements.
