Mixer Torque Rheometer (MTR-3)

A "Wet Mass" Rheometer and highly efficient GLP compatible high sheer mixing tool for small quantities.

Would it help you to be able to quantify the properties of a pharmaceutical wet mass?

Can you quantitatively describe the properties of a wet granulation during granulation?

---

The Caleva MTR3 (Mixer Torque Rheometer-3) provides a way to quantitatively measure the consistancy (or pseudo-viscosity) of a wet mass in terms of the torque produced when shearing the granulation within a mixing bowl. 

Designed to be:-

• A valuable tool for formulation development.
• A tool for process development and scale–up.
• A quality control monitoring apparatus for production.
• A tool for basic research.
• A unique apparatus, easy to use and surprisingly useful.

Binder additions can be set to run automatically (optional).

Fully compliant with 21CFR part 11 if required (optional).

The MTR-2 will assist you to:-

• Increase the speed at which formulations can be developed and tested.
• Determine the optimum liquid binder ratio and mixing time for development formulations using small amounts of material.
• Expose differences between batches of formulation excipients.
• Identify source and batch variations within components that can affect the formulation properties and quality.  Differences can be quantified and problems solved at an early stage.
• Generate quantitative "consistency" information that can be used in process development scale-up programs.
• Develop a scale–up strategy based on quantitative data obtained in small scale. Time and cost can be saved.
• Batch test production runs for consistency on a routine basis.
