PHARMACEUTICAL STUDY OF LIQUID DOSAGE FORM USING THE JACKETED ELECTRIC VESSEL (CERAMIC HEATER)

Abstract

In Ayurvedic pharmaceutics, liquid dosage form occupies a large area. To produce these liquid dosage forms, various traditional and modern
instruments are being used. In present study, an instrument has been designed and named Jacketed Electric Vessel - Ceramic Heater for the heating
purpose of liquids. In this instrument, heating of the liquid in the Vessel is done electrically through the ceramic heaters fitted in it. A thermocouple
has been connected to this machine which indicates the inner temperature of the liquid. It has been found to be more economic and cost effective as
compared to the traditional heating appliances, non-polluting, noise free, durable and a maintenance free instrument. Continuous attendant is also not
needed while using this instrument. It can be helpful in the in-process standardization of the liquid dosage form.
