PTB 330

5-in-1 Tablet Testing Instrument

The 5-in-1 tablet testing instrument PTB 330 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 is operated via a large 7” backlit color touch screen. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia.

Measurement of Five Different Parameters

PTB 330 features one testing station to determine the thickness, width, diameter (or length) and the hardness of tablets. Furthermore, PTB 330 allows connecting a Sartorius or METTLER TOLEDO analytical balance to measure the weight of the samples as well. PTB 330 offer two modes for the weight measurement: either weigh each sample individually, before placing them in the testing station or weigh all samples together and calculate the average weight.

Changeable Sample Support

The sample support of the test station is changeable. You can use version with a groove for optimal positioning of oblongs or other samples which tend to move during the test procedure. The measuring units can be selected from mm or inch and KP (Kilopond), N (Newton) or Sc (Strong Cobb).

User Interface

PTB 330 features a large, 7” backlit color touch screen with a state-of-the-art graphic user interface (GUI).
