8M
The 8M tablet hardness tester is a manual testing system to measure hardness, diameter, thickness and weight of virtually all tablet shapes and sizes. Precision mechanics and trouble-free operation have made the 8M one of the most popular quality control instruments in tablet manufacturing and research labs of internationally leading pharmaceutical companies. Tablets are placed in the machine individually and by hand. Reports including statistical analysis can be printed or sent to a 21 CFR, Part 11 compliant PC software for paperless reporting.
Models with up to 4 parameters
The 8M is available in four different versions:
- 8M-DH
for diameter and hardness measuring - 8M-TDH
for thickness, diameter and hardness measuring - 8M-WDH
for weight (external), diameter and hardness measuring - 8M-WTDH
for weight, thickness, diameter and hardness measuring
The "thickness" parameter allows internal testing (by manually turning the tablet) or connection of an external thickness gauge. All models can be connected to a printer or to a PC software.
