PTB420 Auto Fully Automated 4-in-1 Tablet Testing Instrument

The fully automated 4-in-1 tablet testing instrument PTB 420 Auto is a dual test mode instrument to determine the weight, diameter, thickness and hardness of tablets. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia.

Features

• Tablet hardness testing in full compliance to USP <1217> and EP <2.9.8> Pharmacopeia

• 4 results of the same sample: thickness, diameter, hardness and weight (via integrated Sartorius analytical balance)

• Dual force mode instrument with linear speed increase and linear force increase modes

• Stepless adjustment of the linear force or speed increase rate

• Document all results on external printer

• Multiple point validation procedure for all measurement stations built-in

• Programmable print-out of force increase curve

Advantages

• Test up to 25 samples fully automatically by using the integrated feeder; feeder can be refilled at all times for more than 25 samples in one test

• Automatically determine the individual sample weights using the integrated Sartorius analytical balance

• Automated positioning of samples in the testing area by unique alignment jaws

• Touch-less measurement of sample thickness

• Sophisticated user and method management system included

• Quick start functionality to start testing with minimal preparation

• Quick menu navigation by using a large color LCD and a click wheel
