Tablet Friability Apparatus is a microprocessor-based instrument designed to monitor the resistance of tablets to stresses and to decide their suitability for further processes. These tests are carried out by quality control and R & D Department in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Tablet Friability (NU-255) is a precision instrument essential for pharmaceutical quality control and research. Specifically engineered to determine the physical strength of uncoated tablets, the Tablet Friability (NU-255) measures the resistance of tablets to abrasion and shock during packaging and transit. This robust machine ensures that your pharmaceutical products meet the stringent international standards of durability and quality.
Featuring a high-accuracy digital timer and a consistent RPM motor, the Tablet Friability (NU-255) allows for repeatable and reliable testing. The drum is designed to rotate at a controlled speed, dropping the tablets from a specific height to simulate real-world handling. For labs looking for a complete pharmaceutical setup, this unit pairs perfectly with the ESAW Tablet Hardness Tester NU-273.
Primary Uses & Applications
The Tablet Friability (NU-255) is primarily used in pharmaceutical manufacturing to identify the percentage of weight loss in tablets after mechanical stress. It is crucial for:
- Formulation development and stability testing.
- Batch release and quality assurance in production lines.
- Research studies in pharmacy colleges and R&D centers.
- Compliance with USP/IP pharmacopoeia standards.
