The semi-automated tablet testing system PTB 500 is a dual test mode instrument to measure five different parameters of one sample. Hardness, diameter (or length), thickness, width and the weight of tablets can be determined here. The instrument features an integrated analytical balance and a sample carousel. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia.
