The manual tablet hardness testing instrument PTB111EP / 111EP-500 / 111EP-800 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.

Advantages:
>> No external printer required, this reduces the necessary bench space
>> Documentation of all results using an integrated report printer
>> Report printer uses less paper compared to a standard A4 format printer
>> Select either linear force or linear speed increase (dual mode selection)
>> Entry of time and date
>> Enter a 12 digit batch number
>> Automatic re-start facility to speed up the testing sequence
>> Validation and calibration program for the measurement station
>> Force curve print out
>> Dual point adjustment of the load cell for the hardness test station
>> Multiple point validation (calibration)
>> Programmable print-out of force increase curve
>> Data transfer via RS-232 interface
>> Hardness testing in compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia
>> Test program for soft gelatine capsule testing by setting up a testing distance
