Enhanced range of fully-fused tablet dissolution flow cells

The all-quartz construction unlocks capabilities that would otherwise be limited with jacketed cells, facilitating complete immersion cleaning, including a wide range of temperature applications, across the entire dissolution flow cell portfolio. Where the market offers only selective availability, Starna Scientific delivers comprehensive coverage. 

The all-quartz construction enables full cell immersion in acids and solvents for superior cleaning whilst supporting extreme temperature applications beyond jacketed cell limitations. This dual capability expands both cleaning protocols and testing conditions previously unavailable, including autoclavable sterilisation. 

Delivering these expanded capabilities across every dissolution geometry draws on over seven decades of quartz manufacturing expertise and advanced heat-fusion technology, whilst continuing our established jacketed cell production. 

Direct heat-fusion creates single-piece, solid quartz bodies without metal components. This design ensures leak-proof performance whilst delivering optical clarity, chemical inertness, and temperature tolerance. Precision-cut internal quartz threads enable secure tubing connections. 

Where others provide limited variants, every application now has an all-quartz solution. Precision quartz threading delivers consistent performance across all geometries, eliminating protocol variations. 

Each cell includes unique serialisation for traceability, with a verified path length. Path lengths of ≤ 2mm are measured interferometrically to ± 0.2 µm. All flow cells are pressure tested to ≥ 5 bar. 

Optimised geometry reduces sample carry-over and bubble retention through profiled, laminar flow characteristics. 

USP Apparatus 4-compatible portfolio: long, wide and medium sample compartment geometries, with short-path length variants. Supplied with standard M6 fittings, M6 adaptors for soft-wall tubing are also available. 

Cuvettes are available with 1/4” 28 TPI threads for use with one 1/16 ID 1/8 OD tubing.  

Key specifications include: All-quartz construction; Wide range temperature applications; Acid/solvent resistant (except HF); Full immersion capability in acids/solvents; Autoclavable for sterilisation purposes; Short path lengths verified to ± 0.2 µm accuracy, on request; Pressure tested ≥ 5 bar.
