22 March 2013; Nottingham UK:
A new brochure from Copley Scientific – Quality Solutions for the Testing of Pharmaceuticals – provides a wealth of information for those seeking help with the interpretation and application of regulatory guidance, while also highlighting new additions to the company’s extensive range of solids dosage testing equipment.
New products include the DissoMate dissolution media preparation station, the DissoFract dissolution off line fraction collector, new accessories for testing semisolids and upgrades to the popular range of dissolution and disintegration testers. Furthermore, an expanded range of easy to use tools now supports the calibration of dissolution testing apparatus according to the latest US Pharmacopoeia (USP) and FDA specifications. The brochure covers tablets and capsules, suppositories, powders, transdermals, creams and ointments, and is freely downloadable from the Copley Scientific website, where the digital version can also be viewed online at www.copleyscientific.com
Copley Scientific places strong emphasis on manufacturing durable, well designed equipment in the UK and supports this offering with education and training that help to maximise productivity. The new brochure reflects this approach. It highlights changes and additions to pharmacopoeial and regulatory guidance and explains in straightforward, easy to understand language how to develop and apply effective testing strategies.
The new range of easy to use calibration tools supports compliance with the recently introduced enhanced USP and FDA specifications for tablet dissolution apparatus based on enhanced mechanical calibration (EMC). The upgrades to the dissolution and disintegration testers also feature new digital heaters capable of heating rapidly to target without overshoot, while controlling temperature to within a tolerance of +/-0.1°C. This enhancement helps support accurate maintenance of the 37°C +/- 0.5°C applied during testing.
The updated brochure highlighted the growing importance of clear guidance and practical tools for laboratories working across a broad range of pharmaceutical dosage forms. By combining regulatory context with product updates such as DissoMate, the brochure supported more efficient method selection, equipment calibration and routine testing workflows.
