The 5-in-1 tablet testing instrument PTB 330 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 is operated via a large 7” backlit color touch screen. The instrument is made in strict compliance with the EP <2.9.8> and USP <1217> Pharmacopoeia.
