Tablet disintegration testing instruments are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry to evaluate the disintegration characteristics of formulations and the quality control of different dosage forms.
This range of instruments to test the quality of suppositories, pessaries and creams includes disintegration and penetration testers.
Tablet hardness testing is used to test the breaking point and structural integrity of a tablet prior to storage, transportation, and handling before usage.
Many liquid drugs are delivered in ampoules.We offer a fully DIN/ISO 9187 compliant solution to test the hardness of empty ampoules at line during production.
Friability testing is used to test the durability of tablets during packing processes and transit. This involves repeatedly dropping a sample of tablets over a fixed time, using a rotating drum with a baffle.
The Pharma Test powder testing product portfolio includes instruments to not only measure bulk density but also tap density and flowability.
The leak test apparatus is used in the pharmaceutical industry to check the integrity of tablet strips, blister packs and small bottles.
