Hardness Testing
Tablet hardness – sometimes also referred to as tablet break force – measures the mechanical integrity of a tablet. Dr. Schleuniger Pharmatron hardness testers with precision measuring technology, EP & USP compliant design and Swiss quality components guarantee highest accuracy for test results you can rely on. Since 1972, measuring of weight, thickness, width, diameter and hardness of virtually all tablet shapes from round to oval, oblong and special shapes is our core competence.

The MultiTest 50 tablet hardness tester offers highest precision, robustness, and exceptional user-friendliness. From a basic tablet hardness test to complete measuring of up to 5 parameters – the MultiTest 50 has been designed for efficient operation. |
The 8M tablet hardness tester is a multi-purpose instrument for measuring up to four parameters including complete test reports. The operator can test and accumulate data for up to 100 tablets per test. |
The HT 1 measures tablet thickness, diameter / length, width and hardness. It is also equipped with a connection for an optional balance to record tablet weight as well as a connection for an optional external digital caliper to record tablet thickness. |
