Sotax - Tablet Breaking

Highlights

Testing of all tablet shapes, sizes, and materials

The open and accessible test area allows for simple tablet handling by the operator – and doesn’t limit the flexibility of the MT50 to measure virtually all types of tablet shapes, sizes, and materials. From standard tablet hardness tests to tensile strength and three-point flexure testing, the MT50 allows to perform different test types in full compliance with USP <1217> "Tablet Breaking Force", Ph.Eur. 2.9.8 "Resistance to Crushing of Tablets" and other harmonized Pharmacopeia.

Intuitive EasyTouch™ operation

The intuitive icon-based EasyTouch™ user interface sets new standards for fast and easy control. Three different test modes allow using the MT50 according to individual requirements – from automatic evaluation of results with programmed product specifications (T1 / T2 / PL) to simple test runs. Different user access levels ensure that settings or product specifications can only be modified by authorized personnel. At the end of a test run, a test protocol is automatically printed.

Daily Check with FCD™

Quickly check the hardness measuring station of your MT50 for correct operation at the beginning of each shift. Sometimes referred to as a “mechanical tablet”, the FCD™ function checking device is calibrated to simulate the breaking of a tablet at defined conditions. Not replacing periodic verification, the MT50 performs the proven Dr. Schleuniger^® FCD test routine including PASS / FAIL evaluation automatically. If required, a FCD test protocol can be conveniently printed.
