Tablet Hardness Tester (TH 1050 S)
The tablet hardness tester TH 1050S has 12 position carousel which measures the thickness, length/diameter, hardness and width of the tablets automatically. The built-in sweeping blades in the 12 Carousel (TH 1050 S) help in removing the broken pieces, debris and dust of tablets that accumulates during the testing. For the sake of safety, a two-tier method of editing and validation is required to be performed by the admin and the user. Through this tablet hardness tester, it is possible to perform a continuous automatic run of up to 1-99 tablets that helps in saving a considerable amount of time of the researcher
- Advance Micro-controller based user-friendly state-of-the-art product design with alphanumeric splash waterproof polyester soft keys for keyboard. User interactive software in dialogue mode for ease of operation with protection against invalid entries.
- 12 Position Carousal for Automatic measurement of tablet parameters - Thickness, Length/Diameter & Hardness. The built in Sweeping blades cleans the tablet path for removal of broken pieces, debris & dust.
- Non-Volatile memory storage of 99 methods with parameters with Alphanumeric entries of Sample Name and Identification Number for authentication.
- Automatic run can be performed continuously up to 1-99 tablets. Run can be restarted on power failure.
- Linear Displacement 0.8mm/sec with fast advance and return movement of breaking arm saves runtime.
- Daily Auto Incremented Run Number and Factory entered CUSTOMER NAME with Instrument Serial Number on report system foolproof and GLP complaint.
- Two Tier – a] ADMIN, and b] USER password protection for method editing and Validation. 10 Users can set with Name and password.
- Built-in Real Time Clock [RTC] for date and time display and on printout.
- Ethernet Connectivity by RE01 Module and EDC80 Data capture Software (Optional)
- Quick RUN for Thickness, Length & Hardness or all parameter measurement in sequence up to 25 sample tablets with GLP information.
