The tablet testing instrument PTB 311E is a dual force mode hardness tester. 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:
>> Select either linear force or linear speed increase (dual mode selection)
>> Stepless adjustment of the force or speed increasing rate
>> Entry of time and date password protected
>> Enter a 12-digit batch number
>> Automatic re-start facility to speed up the testing sequence
>> Documentation of all results using a separate PCL or dot-matrix printer
>> Validation and calibration program for the measurement station
>> Dual point adjustment of the load cell for the hardness test station
>> Multiple point validation (calibration) up to 30 or 50kg
>> 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 gelatin capsule testing by setting up a testing distance
