Tablet Hardness Testing (Breaking Force)

Grain and powder density meter Model: JV-200i Brand: Copley Origin: UK Warranty 12 months Description: Running time: 0 - 99 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds Measuring position: 2 measuring cylinders Method details Method 1: moving tube height 14 mm - 300 taps/minute Method 2: moving tube height 3 mm - 250 taps/minute Method 3: moving tube height 3 mm, 14 mm - 50/60 taps/minute Dimensions: 260 x 347 x 562 mm (with 250ml measuring cylinder)

Tablet Dissolution Testing DIS 600i With bench space a premium in many laboratories, the DIS 600i is one of the most compact dissolution test for tablets available on the market today. Ideal for use in both R&D and QC environments, the DIS 600i is equipped with precision ground shafts that will accept any of the baskets, paddles or rotating cylinders described in the Ph. Eur., USP and associated Pharmacopoeias.

Semisolids Testing HDT 1000 With a precision dry heating system and integrated powerful magnetic stirrers, the compact HDT 1000 vertical diffusion cell tester from Copley has become the benchmark system for many labs. Using an innovative heating block approach, the HDT 1000 eradicates the difficulties, and the “spaghetti” of tubing associated with water-jacketed cell diffusion systems and accommodates either endpoint or discrete manual sampling techniques. A dedicated stirrer mounted beneath each station ensures thorough mixing throughout testing for accurate sampling.

DIS 800i Maximising visibility and access to the critical sampling area above the bath, the DIS 800i represents the very latest in tablet testing technology. Ideal for use in both R&D and QC environments, the DIS 800i is equipped with precision ground shafts that will accept any of the baskets, paddles or rotating cylinders described in the Ph. Eur., USP and associated Pharmacopoeias.

FRV 110i Based on an original design by Roche, the Copley FRVi Series friability tester is an established standard within the pharmaceutical industry. Equipped with advanced design features, ranging from convenient sample loading and unloading, to an integrated friability calculator and automated weighing function, the FRVi Series streamlines the workflow associated with routine friability testing. The FRV 110i supports a single friability test for tablets or abrasion drum.

The Scott Volumeter bulk density tester is described in both Ph. Eur. and USP. It is designed for measuring the bulk density of fine powders and similar products. A comparison of the bulk and tapped densities of powders can give an indication of the type of interaction present between the various particles making up the powder mass. This provides an index of powder flowability.

Tablet Disintegration Testing DTG-200i IS With the same standard features as the other DTGi Series testers and supporting up to 2 basket rack assemblies, the DTG 200i-IS offers independent control over each test station, making it ideal for the following types of applications: Comparing one formulation directly against another Comparing the performance of a single formulation under different conditions Assessing delayed release or enteric coated tablets where samples must be immersed for specified periods of time in different media Allowing two users to run tests simultaneously

Tablet Friability Testing Friabimat SA-400 For the hardest and most robust solid dosage forms which fall outside the scope of the conventional friability tester a higher-energy input instrument is needed to generate quantifiable changes in surface mass. The Friabimat, as described in Ph. Eur. 2.9.41, has been designed to generate the necessary abrasive forces required to define the friability characteristics of these types of dosage forms.

Vaginal Tablet Tester (VTT) Using the same sample holder as the SDT 1000 together with a low form beaker and heater/stirrer, Copley’s VTT is a reliable, easy-to-use solution to test tablets disintegration properties of vaginal tablets.

TH3/500 Ideal for use in the production area for a quick check of compression force, the TH3 is a portable and simple-to-use tablet hardness tester. Using a multi-turn, low-friction hand wheel to apply the load, the TH3/500 can apply a force up to 500 N. The resulting breaking force is displayed clearly on the LCD with a wide choice of data output options. With no calibration routinely required, this tester offers easy and convenient tablet hardness testing in busy production environments.
