Powder dosing for lab and galenics
In pharmaceutical development, accurately dosing minimal quantities of powder is crucial. Determining product attributes and processes with precision requires reliable and reproducible methods for filling test capsules or vials with exact powder measurements.
Doses minimal quantities of powder accurately
The Tamping Pin TT by Harro Hoefliger is a compact, hand-held lab device designed for filling capsules and vials with pharmaceutical powders. It is particularly useful in the early stages of pharmaceutical development or designing dosing formats. Using a metering disk, the device can dose powder quantities as small as 500 mg or more. The fill volume depends on the hole and the height of the disk. The device boasts a dosing volume range of 50 – 1,385 mm³ and can handle particle sizes from 60 – 150 µm. Operators can achieve approximately five doses per minute, making it both time-efficient and reliable. The Tamping Pin TT supports reproducible and comparable trials and can be retooled for various dosing methods, ensuring versatility in lab applications.
