Tablet friability tester
Ensure your tablets meet rigorous quality standards by accurately measuring friability and abrasion, reducing product loss and maintaining integrity during handling and transportation.
The FT2 from SOTAX is a versatile friability and abrasion tester designed for pharmaceutical and chemical laboratories. This equipment ensures precise measurement by automatically recording weight loss, critical for maintaining the quality and consistency of solid dosage forms such as tablets and capsules. Using a dual drum system, the FT2 provides increased testing capacity and thorough abrasion analysis. With SingleButton™ operation and menu-guided navigation, it simplifies user interaction, making testing efficient. It supports applications across pharmaceutical, biotech, and chemical industries, from aspirin tablets to fine chemicals. The FT2 complies with USP <1216> and GLP standards, ensuring it meets rigorous industry requirements. For seamless operation, it features programmable rotational speeds and can be integrated with q-doc® software for comprehensive data management, ensuring 100% data integrity. Its robust construction and anti-static design make it a dependable choice for accurate friability testing, essential for quality control and R&D departments in pharmaceutical manufacturing and medical device production.
