Adjustable tablet carousel supports analyser

Adjustable tablet carousel accessory for use with a near-infrared analyser product line provides a flexible, cost-effective tool for the analysis of different sized tablets.

Thermo Electron Corporation announces the Adjustable Tablet Carousel accessory for use with the Nicolet Antaris Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) analyser product line. This patent-pending automated accessory provides a flexible, cost-effective tool for scientists working in pharmaceutical R and D and QC for the analysis of different sized tablets. A single lever adjusts all tablets into position, regardless of tablet size, saving time and eliminating the need to purchase multiple, customised carousels in formulation and method development applications.

Thermo's Adjustable Tablet Carousel accessory offers consistent and reproducible testing results of varying tablet sizes.

Consistent tablet placement, easily achievable with this accessory, plays a critical role in providing data that can be compared without having to make allowances for product positioning.
