Semisolids Testing

Copley offers the HDT Series designed for the assessment of drug release from semisolid formulations. The range includes innovative dry-heat systems and the more traditional water-jacketed heating systems.

HDT 1000

Control is provided via a user-friendly membrane keypad with test parameters displayed clearly on a backlit LCD screen

Up to 10 cells accommodated per test run

Easy to access sampling ports

Insulation helps maintain temperature stability

Heating block eradicates use of water-jacketed cells

Small unit footprint saves previous benchtop space

HDT 1000

With a precision dry heating system and integrated powerful magnetic stirrers, the compact HDT 1000 vertical diffusion cell tester from Copley has become the benchmark system for many labs.

Using an innovative heating block approach, the HDT 1000 eradicates the difficulties and the “spaghetti” of tubing associated with water-jacketed cell diffusion systems and accommodates either endpoint or discrete manual sampling techniques. A dedicated stirrer mounted beneath each station ensures thorough mixing throughout testing for accurate sampling.
