Gemini Profiler™

"Gold Standard" instrument for determining solubility (intrinsic solubility, solubility pH-profiles), and pKa (ionization constants) and log P (lipophilicity profiles, logD)
Gemini Profiler  
  • Uses pH-metric technology
  • Determines intrinsic solubility and solubility as a function of pH (1-13 in increments of 0.1)
  • Determines ionization constants of sparingly soluble molecules
  • Determines Log D and Log P of ionized compounds and the lipohilicity profile as a function of pH.
  • Predicts intrinsic solubility and simulates experimental data
  • Supports wide dynamic range for solubility:
    < 5ng/mL to 50mg/mL
  • Presents report-oriented results: technical and client
  • Introduces flux factor calculation and dose prediction concepts

Drug Discovery
With as little as 100 micrograms of sample, Gemini Profiler™ can derive a complete solubility-pH profile. This allows you to make solubility an integral part of your optimization program at earlier stages of discovery, by allowing you to experimentally "calibrate" your high-throughput solubility prediction calculations. The result - earlier prediction of oral absorption. Ionization constant, pKa, determination can be done separately or in conjunction with solubility determination.

Drug Development
For the same effort as a single-pH manual solubility measurement, the Gemini Profiler™ gives you the whole pH range, automatically. Following guidelines consistent with the Biopharmaceutics Classification System BCS), solubility classification is easier. Measurement of solubilities less than 5 ng/mL to 50 mg/mL are possible. Additionally, the effect of bile salts on the solubility of sparingly soluble drugs can be characterized by Gemini Profiler. You will not want to do another shake-flask solubility determination. Ionization constants, pKa, for sparingly soluble compounds are easily determined using a cosolvent extrapolation method. Multiple pKas or overlapping pKas are not a problem for this potentiometric technique.
