Features
The main features of the PTB 330 instrument are:
- Tablet hardness testing in full compliance to USP <1217> and EP <2.9.8> Pharmacopeia
- 5 results of the same sample: thickness, width, diameter (length), hardness and weight (via connected external analytical balance)
- Dual force mode instrument with linear speed increase and linear force increases modes
- Statistical calculations of mean value, absolute and relative standard deviations, minimum and maximum result
- Fingerprint sensor for immediate and secure login
- Networking capabilities (optional)
- Multiple point validation procedure built-in
- Programmable print-out of force increase curve
- Graphical user interface with clear operator instructions
- Set to test tension strength of oblongs and caplets available
Advantages
- Select either linear force or linear speed increase (dual mode selection)
- Stepless adjustment of the force or speed increasing rate
- User management with fingerprint sensor system
- Method management with “teaching” system
- Entry of time and date
- Test start functionality to start testing with minimal preparation
- Automatic re-start facility to speed up the testing sequence
- Directly connectable to LIMS or other network options
- Validation and calibration program for the measurement stations
- Dual point adjustment of the load cell for the hardness test station
- Multiple point validation (calibration) up to 30 or 50kg
- Programmable print-out of force increase curve
- Serial data transfer via RS-232 interface
- Test program for soft gelatin capsule testing by setting up a testing distance
