Suppository penetration tester for softening time measurement
In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring that suppositories soften correctly at body temperature is crucial. This process affects the release of active ingredients and ultimately the product’s effectiveness. Accurate and reproducible testing of softening time is essential for quality control and product development.
Measures softening time at predetermined temperatures
The ERWEKA PM 30 is a specialized penetration tester designed to measure the softening time of suppositories according to EP method A. It features three test stations for simultaneous testing, allowing for efficient use of laboratory time. This device enables visual observation of the melting process, which simplifies the analysis of melting characteristics. Available options include glass test tubes (2 g and 3 g) with adapters, as well as an immersion thermometer with a certificate for precise temperature measurement. The compact design ensures ease of use and reliable results.
Benefits
- Accurate measurement of suppository softening time
