PTB 111EP & PTB 111EP-500 – Tablet Hardness Testing Instrument with Integrated Report Printer PTB 111EP – Manual Tablet Hardness Testing Instrument with Integrated Report Printer The digital tablet hardness testing instrument PTB 111EP features an integrated report printer. It is a dual force mode hardness test apparatus as it can be used for either linear force or linear speed increase while tablet hardness is tested. It offers a multiple point validation procedure for the built-in digital load cell. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia. Enter the nominal test information for hardness as well as a batch number via the PTB 111EP keyboard. Select the unit to measure, KP (Kilopond), N (Newton) or Sc (Strong Cobb), now place the sample onto the sample dish and start the test. The driven jaw will run forward, touch and force the tablet until it breaks to measure the hardness (tablet breaking force). The result is immediately displayed and printed via the integrated report printer. Repeat this until your series has been tested, get a full print-out including each individual result, date, time, serial number of the instrument, batch number of the product tested, mean value and deviations of the test series.

Open the catalog to page 1PTB 111EP & PTB 111EP-500 – Tablet Hardness Testing Instrument with Integrated Report Printer The flexibility and the reproducibility of the results have made this and other models, like the PTB 311E series become one of the most sold tablet hardness testing instruments worldwide. By using an integrated report printer, the bench space requirements to of this instrument are even lower than other instruments from the PTB series, since no additional external printer is required. Furthermore, the report printer requires less paper than a standard printer and by this helps to preserve our...

Open the catalog to page 3PTB 111EP & PTB 111EP-500 – Tablet Hardness Testing Instrument with Integrated Report Printer Calibration and Validation The current USP Pharmacopeia requires the force sensor of a tablet hardness testing instrument to be calibrated periodically over the complete measuring range (or the range used for measuring samples) with a precision of 1N. All Pharma Test tablet hardness testing instrument can be statically calibrated over the complete measuring range by the use of different traceable counterweights. All instruments support the checking of at least three different points during...
Open the catalog to page 4PTB 111EP & PTB 111EP-500 – Tablet Hardness Testing Instrument with Integrated Report Printer For the two point adjustment (zero and reference) of the load cell inside the hardness station a certified reference weight of 10 kg is used. For validation purposes the use 5 up to 30kg certified weights is recommended. All adjustment and calibration results can be printed and countersigned. To prove the linearity of the instrument, the operator can program a print-out of the force curve recorded during a test. This will show the linear increase of the adjusted force mode. Also different weights,...
