Automated Small-Scale Tablet Press Aids Development
SMI's Bilayer Nova development and pilot-scale double-layered tablet press is fully automated.
The Bilayer Nova from SMI is a fully automated development and pilot-scale double-layered tablet press with single-layer capabilities. The intuitive human-machine-interface control touchscreen allows full visible access of the machine with accesible controls. The standalone unit does not require any additional consoles or cabinets, which is ideal for tight working environments. The machine has nine-ton, first- and second-layer compression capabilities that are suitable for bilayer tableting requirements. New 'Director Pro' software is designed to reduce operator error and increase product yield. The software will automatically maintain individual tablet weights and reject tablets that are outside of user-specified tolerances.
Is “right first time, every time” a pipedream for metabolite identification by LC-MS?
March 18th 2025The dream state If we lived in an ideal world, it would be possible to unambiguously identify metabolites using a single analytical experiment. This analytical technique would need to be efficient and easily generate the information needed from a routine assay that is also robust, enabling confident decision-making during drug discovery. At SCIEX, we believe that metabolite identification using the ZenoTOF 7600 system gets close to this dream state.
