PTB 330 Tablet Testing System
The PTB 330 is a comprehensive 5-in-1 tablet testing instrument designed for pharmaceutical quality control, formulation development, and research laboratories. Fully compliant with USP <1217> and EP <2.9.8> requirements, the system enables the measurement of five critical tablet parameters from a single sample: hardness, thickness, width, diameter (or length), and weight when connected to an external analytical balance.
Featuring a dual-force testing mode, the PTB 330 allows hardness testing using either linear force increase or linear speed increase, providing flexibility for different testing methodologies. The instrument is equipped with a large 7-inch colour touchscreen, offering intuitive operation, clear user guidance, and efficient data management.
Advanced statistical analysis, built-in multi-point load cell validation, and support for tensile strength testing of oblong tablets and caplets make the PTB 330 an ideal solution for laboratories seeking comprehensive tablet characterization with high accuracy and regulatory compliance.
