The PTB 500 is a semi-automated tablet testing system designed for comprehensive pharmaceutical quality control and laboratory efficiency. Fully compliant with USP <1217> and EP <2.9.8> requirements, the instrument measures five critical parameters from a single tablet sample: hardness, thickness, width, diameter (or length), and weight.

The system features an integrated analytical balance and a sample carousel, enabling streamlined and consistent testing workflows with reduced manual handling. Built on a dual-force testing concept, the PTB 500 supports both linear force increases and linear speed increase modes, providing flexibility for different testing methodologies and regulatory requirements.

Designed for modern pharmaceutical laboratories, the PTB 500 incorporates advanced data management features, including networking capability, integrated database storage, user management, and audit trail functionality compliant with 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. The intuitive 7-inch colour touchscreen interface ensures simple operation, clear guidance, and efficient workflow control.

With robust stainless-steel construction and advanced automation capabilities, the PTB 500 is ideal for laboratories seeking higher productivity, improved data integrity, and reliable multi-parameter tablet testing.
