rightMORE INFORMATION

  • Test weight, thickness (or height), diameter (or length), and hardness of regular tablets, odd shaped tablets (caplets, oblongs etc.) and other solid samples fully automatically. Use the WHT 4 for the fully automated testing of single tablet critical parameters including weight (in compliance to the European and German Pharmacopoeia for uniformity of mass), thickness, diameter and the tablet hardness also according to the European EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia.
     
    Features
