QAII C Station
Highlights
- Designed to work in a 21 CFR Part 11 environment
- Works on all major brands of dissolution testers with an open head design
- Self-prompting menu walks user through the measurement of chosen parameters
- Traceability to NIST standards
- No interpretation of measurement is required. Data is stored automatically after each measurement is performed
- Self-prompting menu walks user through the measurement of chosen parameters
A complete hardcopy printout from the station’s dot matrix printer provides complete test results including space for approved signatures. Navigate easily through the intuitive menu to measure all parameters or only those of interest. The menu allows users to enter a unique identification number for each dissolution tester (up to 20 units) and the serial number for the paddle or basket shaft for each location. These values can also be printed on the calibration report.
The QAII C allows measurement of vibration in four parameters: acceleration (g force), frequency (Hz), velocity (mm/sec.) and displacement (mm). Each of these are recorded in the X, Y, and Z axes via an electronic sensor.
The QAII C station base unit is the heart of the system and contains the keypad, LCD, and Report Center™ printer. Five remote sensors plug into keyed jacks on the base unit’s rear panel and test data can be downloaded to a PC through the RS-232 interface. The unit has non-volatile memory with an information storage capacity for up to 30 testers, a re-chargeable battery for portable use, plus its own AC power supply for printing or charging the battery.
Data is printed as the instrument acquires it. The QAII C can be used as a standalone data acquisition unit and printing station. It has the ability to send data, as it is acquired, via the RS-232 port to a specially designed Excel™ spreadsheet application (included with each instrument) to capture the data. The user can then incorporate and validate the data into their 21 CFR 11 compliant environment.
A digital wobble gauge / RPM sensor is mounted on a specially designed bracket. The wobble gauge shows wobble in either inches or millimeters. A separate power switch saves the life of the lithium battery. A certified shaft, whose “straightness” is guaranteed for spindle verification, is included.
Also mounted on the bracket is a magnetic tachometer. A collar with an embedded magnetic sensor is supplied which clips onto the paddle or basket shaft being checked. With each revolution, the rotation is recorded and displayed on the LCD screen of the base unit.
No guesswork is required when measuring the level. An electronic level sensor measures the level of the vessel table as well as the perpendicularity of each shaft from side-to-side and front to back. This is displayed in degrees, to a maximum of 20 degrees.
To verify vessel as well as bath temperature, a calibrated temperature probe is included. The probe is NIST traceable and guarantees accuracy to with 0.1 degree.
