Analyzing powders for optimizing tableting formulations
The F Lab powder-compaction analysis (PVA) unit is available in two versions (photo). As an analyzer, formulations can be examined to determine their compaction processability. Users can test raw materials under special conditions and compare different formulations. The compact, easy-to-operate unit detects even the smallest compaction variations of powder mixtures due to a change in composition. The F Lab 5 version has a pressing force of up to 5 kN, and is suitable for tablet sizes up to 10 mm. The F Lab 10 achieves a pressing force up to 10 kN for 15-nn sized tablets. Associated software combines data from the F Lab with results from other analyzers and visualizes the evaluations in clear diagrams on a dashboard.
