The PharmaTest PTB 500 tablet hardness tester<\/strong> put the benchmark for precision and reliability<\/strong> in the pharmaceutical industry. Developed for high-quality control<\/strong> in R&D and production, the PTB 500 offers an unparalleled combination of automation, accuracy and ease of use<\/strong>.<\/p>

Unique Features That Make the Difference<\/h3>

1. Fully automated measurements<\/strong>
The PTB 500 measures hardness, thickness, diameter, length and weight<\/strong> of tablets fully automatic<\/strong>. This saves time and minimizes human error, which is crucial for a cGMP-compliant process<\/strong>.<\/p>

2. Highest measurement precision on the market<\/strong>
With an accuracy of up to 0.05 N<\/strong> delivers the PTB 500 consistently reproducible results<\/strong>, even at high production volumes. This guarantees that every batch meets the strictest FDA and EU quality guidelines<\/strong>.<\/p>

3. Smart integration and data management<\/strong>
Thanks to 21 CFR Part 11 compliance<\/strong> and full integration with LIMS and network storage<\/strong> Laboratories can easily generate reports and maintain audit trails<\/strong>The PTB 500 is ready for the future of digital quality control<\/strong>.<\/p>

4. Flexibility for all tablet sizes<\/strong>
Whether it's about round, oval or special shapes<\/strong>The PTB 500 automatically recognizes the dimensions and adjusts the test parameters. This makes the device ideal for both research laboratories as large-scale production companies<\/strong>.<\/p>
