MPT-02 Tablet Hardness Tester

In the hardness testing procedure, a tablet is positioned on the measurement platform of the hardness tester. An upper punch applies a specified amount of pressure, and the force or degree of deformation required to break the tablet is recorded to determine its hardness. The common measurement techniques include the indentation depth method and the crushing strength method.

Application

Tablet hardness testing plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical industry. By assessing the compressive strength of tablets, it ensures their physical integrity and stability throughout production, storage, and usage, ultimately safeguarding drug efficacy and patient safety. Furthermore, hardness testing is essential for compliance with pharmaceutical regulations, thereby enhancing product quality and competitiveness in the market.

The importance of tablet hardness testing includes:
Quality Assurance: Insufficient hardness can lead to tablet breakage during transport or use, while excessive hardness can impede disintegration and affect drug release.
Production Optimization: Monitoring tablet hardness helps identify and rectify production issues, such as inadequate compression force or formulation inconsistencies.
Product Development: Hardness measurements can inform the design of new formulations with suitable hardness and disintegration properties.

 

Test Principle

In the hardness testing procedure, a tablet is positioned on the measurement platform of the hardness tester. An upper punch applies a specified amount of pressure, and the force or degree of deformation required to break the tablet is recorded to determine its hardness. The common measurement techniques include the indentation depth method and the crushing strength method.
Indentation Depth Method: This technique measures hardness by evaluating the depth of the indentation made on the tablet when subjected to a certain pressure; a smaller indentation indicates a harder tablet.
Crushing Strength Method: This method determines hardness by measuring the force necessary to fracture the tablet under specific pressure; a higher force indicates a harder tablet.
