NSAW Disintegration Test Apparatus NSAW-1680

The NSAW Disintegration Test Apparatus NSAW-1680 is a specialized instrument used in pharmaceutical quality control laboratories to assess the disintegration time of solid dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, and suppositories. Disintegration testing is an essential step in the evaluation of pharmaceutical products, ensuring that they will properly disintegrate and release their active ingredients within the gastrointestinal tract for effective absorption. The NSAW-1680 apparatus typically consists of a set of test stations, each equipped with a basket rack or a tube rack where individual dosage units are placed. These racks are immersed in separate beakers filled with a suitable disintegration medium, such as water or simulated gastric fluid, maintained at a specified temperature. During testing, the dosage units are subjected to agitation or reciprocating motion within the disintegration medium, simulating the conditions encountered in the gastrointestinal tract. The disintegration time is determined by observing the complete breakdown of the dosage unit into smaller particles or dissolution of its components.
