One Device, Multiple Tests: How to Streamline Comprehensive Tablet Quality Control
Share
Summary: Tablet quality directly impacts efficacy, stability, and compliance. Traditionally, weight, thickness, diameter, and hardness testing required multiple instruments and manual records. With a multifunction tablet tester like the SY-6DN, labs can achieve all-in-one, automated, and reliable quality control.
Introduction
As the most common solid dosage form, tablets demand strict quality oversight. Each parameter—weight, thickness, diameter, hardness—affects dosage accuracy and patient safety. Conventional workflows require multiple instruments, slowing efficiency and raising risks of inconsistency. Multifunction tablet testers consolidate these tasks into one streamlined process.
Why tablet testing matters
- Dosage accuracy: Each tablet must meet tight specifications for weight and thickness to ensure correct drug release.
- Mechanical strength: Hardness and friability affect how tablets endure storage, packaging, and transportation.
- Compliance: Pharmacopeias and GMP demand strict adherence to all critical tablet parameters.
Industry pain points
- Fragmented testing: Multiple instruments are required, data is scattered, and workflows are inefficient.
- Manual recording: Handwritten or manually logged data risks transcription errors and poor traceability.
- Complex validation: Cross-validation of multiple devices increases workload and cost.
