APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING SOLUBILITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104723 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING SOLUBILITY

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus for measuring solubility using patterned background images and transmission images of a target sample in a container.

  • The display shows patterned background images.
  • The image obtaining sensor captures transmission images of the target sample in the container.
  • The processor analyzes the degree of dissolution of the target sample based on the transmission images using analysis algorithms.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in pharmaceutical research and development to measure the solubility of drugs in different solutions. It could also be applied in the food and beverage industry to analyze the dissolution of ingredients in various products.

Problems Solved

This technology provides a more efficient and accurate way to measure the solubility of samples compared to traditional methods. It allows for real-time analysis and monitoring of dissolution processes.

Benefits

- Improved accuracy in measuring solubility - Real-time analysis capabilities - Potential for automation and increased efficiency in research and development processes

Potential Commercial Applications

"Enhancing Solubility Measurement in Pharmaceutical and Food Industries"

Possible Prior Art

There are existing methods for measuring solubility, such as gravimetric analysis and spectrophotometry. However, the use of patterned background images and transmission images for this purpose may be a novel approach.

What is the cost of implementing this technology in a laboratory setting?

Implementing this technology in a laboratory setting would involve the cost of acquiring the apparatus, training personnel on its use, and potentially integrating it with existing systems. The overall cost would depend on the complexity of the setup and the specific requirements of the laboratory.

How does this technology compare to traditional methods of measuring solubility in terms of accuracy and speed?

This technology offers the potential for higher accuracy and real-time analysis of solubility compared to traditional methods. By using patterned background images and transmission images, it can provide more detailed information about the dissolution process, leading to improved results.


Original Abstract Submitted

an apparatus for measuring solubility includes: a display configured to display at least one patterned background image; an image obtaining sensor configured to obtain at least one transmission image formed by light from the at least one patterned background image being transmitted through a container accommodating a target sample, of which solubility is to be measured; and a processor configured to analyze a degree of dissolution of the target sample from the at least one transmission image based on at least one analysis algorithm.
