Simple Device for Routine Checks of Tablet Hardness Tester Functionality

Measuring product breaking force is a standard procedure in every tablet manufacturing facility. Like all instrumentation, regular qualification of a hardness tester is mandatory. In order to ensure that the instrument is functioning within specifications,

SOTAX has developed the MT mechanical tablet, a simple device that is designed for frequent routine verifications of the functionality of tablet hardness testers between qualifications.

Supplier-independent, the MT is designed to work with all hardness testers. The tablets are engineered so that a predetermined amount of force triggers a mechanical breaking point that is recorded by the hardness tester.

MTs are manufactured at five different breaking forces with an accuracy of ±0.5 Kp or better (5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 Kp). They can also verify six different physical dimensions ±0.03 mm (5, 10, 14, 15, 20 and 30 mm).

The devices are all calibrated, verified, and tested according to a strict quality process using a NIST traceable calibration instrument. A full internal test report, along with a calibration certificate, is provided with each MT.

Our booth at Technopharm will be in Hall 6, booth 331.
