Launch of mechanical tablet for routine checks of tablet hardness tester functionality
Apr 03 2013
Measuring product breaking force is a standard procedure in every tablet manufacturing facility. Like all instrumentation, regular qualification of a hardness tester is mandatory. In order to ensure that the instrument is functioning within specifications, SOTAX has developed the MT, a simple device that is designed for frequent routine verifications of the functionality of tablet hardness testers between qualifications.
Supplier-independent, the MT Mechanical Tablet is designed to work with all hardness testers. The tablets are engineered so that a predetermined amount of force triggers a mechanical breaking point which is recorded by the hardness tester.
MTs are manufactured at five different breaking forces with an accuracy of ±0.5 Kp or better (5 Kp, 10 Kp, 15 Kp, 20 Kp, 30 Kp). They can also verify six different physical dimensions ± 0.03 mm (5 mm, 10 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 30 mm).
The devices are all calibrated, verified, and tested according to a strict quality process using a NIST traceable calibration instrument. A full internal test report along with a calibration certificate is provided with each MT.
