Semi-automatic tablet hardness tester
When ensuring the quality of pharmaceuticals, consistently measuring the hardness, thickness, and other physical parameters of tablets is crucial. Manual methods may fail to deliver the required precision, resulting in inconsistencies and quality control issues.
Measures multiple tablet physical parameters accurately
The ST50 by Sotax AG is a semi-automatic tablet hardness tester designed for precision and efficiency in quality control laboratories. It measures five key parameters: hardness, length/diameter, width, thickness, and weight/mass. The patented SmartAlign™ system ensures reliable tablet orientation, accommodating various shapes such as round, oblong, and oval without the need for modifications. The intuitive EasyTouch™ control offers icon-based navigation and multilingual support, making the setup and operation user-friendly and fast. Optional video monitoring provides automatic recording of tablet orientation, facilitating out-of-specification investigations. Configurable test reports and seamless integration with q-doc® PC software ensure electronic data management compliance with 21 CFR, Part 11. The Dynamic Qualification Device (DQD™) enables advanced qualification of the hardness range without static reference weights, enhancing the unit’s operational reliability.
