rightMORE INFORMATION

  • The manual tablet hardness testing instrument PTB111EP / 111EP-500 / 111EP-800 features an integrated report printer. It is a dual force mode hardness test apparatus as it can be used for either linear force or linear speed increase while tablet hardness is tested. It offers a multiple point validation procedure for the built-in digital load cell. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia.
