Abstract

Rasasindoor (HgS) is a unique Kupipakwa Rasayana preparation having Parada and Gandhaka in it. Kupipakva rasayana is developed by many Rasaacharya for the preparation of heat treated mercurial. Rasasindoor is a wellknown drug for its wide range of utilization in therapeutics with different anupanas. The kajjali is used as raw material for the preparation of Rasasindoor. In this paper, the modern portable valukayantra is used for the preparation of Rasasindoor. Whole process is divided and performed as shodhana of contents (parada, gandhaka), kajjali preparation, preparation of samguna bali jarit Rasasindoor in same valukayantra and its comparative study with emplacement of single and dual kupi. In this present study the kramagni pattern is used to prepare the Rasasindoor. The digital pyrometer is used for the measurement of temperature. Observations of both the Rasasindoor were recorded sub sequentially. Many research papers are published for Rasasindoor but the accurate analytical values are not given in any standard book. In many pharmaceutical industries the Rasasindoor is prepared in large scale. The Rasasindoor is prepared in 5-6 kupi in same valukayantra. But due to this the heat is not given properly to other Kupi. So that there is little bit of difference occurred at final product. It can be concluded that the Single Kupi Rasasindoor should be prepared in valukayantra. The more the kupi is used to prepare the Rasasindoor, the more the difference is found. So to avoid such differences, it should be prepared in single kupi with same valukayantra.
