Semi-Automated Tablet Testing System with Integrated Balance 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 (PTB 500+) or a connection for an external balance (PTB 500) and a sample carousel. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP and USP Pharmacopoeia.^ PTB 500 features a carousel to transport the samples between the weight, thickness and combined width, diameter (or length) and the hardness testing station. PTB 500+ features and integrated Sartorius analytical balance to measure the weight of the individual samples. The base model PTB 500 features a connection for an external balance. The measuring units can be selected from mm or Inch and KP (Kilopond), N (Newton) or Sc (Strong Cobb). Running a Test PTB 500 features a large, back-lit colour LCD. Navigate the menu using the touch screen or connect a standard keyboard and mouse. There are two ways to start a test with PTB 500 – start a quick test immediately after powering on the instrument without logging on or login to start a method-based test.
