Using Multichannel Jaz for Dissolution Measurements
We’ve recently developed our Jaz Modular Optical Sensing Suite to handle the needs of pharmaceutical and health manufacturers who conduct dissolution measurements.
Using our Multichannel Jaz Suite, laboratory professionals can now conduct simultaneous dissolution experiments with a single raw good or pharmaceutical powder to save time — or use this specialized configuration to test several compounds at once.
What’s Included
- Up to 8 spectrometer modules
- Powerful microprocessor and onboard display eliminate the need for a PC
- Stackable, autonomous instrument modules allow you to customize the system to your changing application needs
- Ethernet connectivity plus an SD card for data storage make remote operation a snap!
- Dip probes for sampling
With this special configuration of the Jaz Modular Optical Sensing Suite, we’re able to outfit a pharmaceutical or health manufacturer’s laboratory with a system that is comparable to traditional dissolution measurement systems — but at about half of the cost. For example you can configure a 6 channel Jaz dissolution system for approx. $20,000.
Plus, since Jaz has Ethernet connectivity, onboard processing and storage and its own rechargeable battery, it makes accommodating a wide range of experiments simple and convenient.
Under the Hood
Jaz Spectrometer Module
- Replaceable slits and gratings take spectrometer design to a new level
- Though the crossed Czerny-Turner optical bench design may be familiar, the rest of the bench is anything but conventional. For maximum flexibility, gratings and external slits are designed to be easily switched out by qualified users.
Jaz OLED Display Module
- Powerful onboard microprocessors eliminate the need for a PC while the OLED display offers clear, vivid viewing.
- The Jaz OLED module is the user interface. Its powerful microprocessor is the “director” harmonizing the interaction among the modules. The Jaz OLED module handles data processing and logging, distributed computing and user interface functions in the display.
Jaz EB Ethernet and Memory Module
- Ethernet supplies system power, makes remote access possible and provides memory and other functions.
- Our 100 Mb/S Ethernet connection is a “single-cable solution” that powers the system and enables remote access by any computer on the network. Communication can take place among modules that are plugged in anywhere on the World Wide Web. The module also includes an SD card slot for data storage.
Jaz MB Battery and External Memory Module
- Rechargeable battery and data storage functions take the hassle of external power supplies and PC handling out of field work.
- Lithium-Ion battery is rechargeable from the main board via Ethernet, USB or external power supply and allows autonomous data collection with power-conserving sleep mode for long-term measurements. This module also has two SD card slots for memory and other functions.
The Round Up
- System power consumption is a modest ~2.5 W
- Use Ethernet to transfer data to PC
- Jaz is RoHS compliant
- Jaz uses IP communications protocol; proprietary interface allows communications with stack and/or the backplane.
